Rumour has it it was one of the Sligo based Iraqi’s that brought back the plague with him from his homeland. Probably infected other family and friends.

Yes - I think we'll all end up with wearable devices in lanyard format when we all get back to the offices ..... with alarms sounding if too many people are in a room, or if you're standing too close to someone for too long
Not a huge leap to see it in public locations also .... like pubs
I'm with mullet (and Holohan) re: the likelihood of us ending up back in a Leicester/Texas style lockdown soon enough .... the fact that one gobshite in Sligo can infect 14 family members is scary AF.

Anyway, I don't believe so. Figures are about in line with what went before, if memory serves. Although, haven't seen illegal pill figures (which you'd assume are very low now).

But I think there is a large element of political point scoring going on.
At the end of the day MoN is as thick as shit and has little to no power anyway given the army council’s firm grasp on proceedings. Her being forced to resign will achieve nothing, and the scumbags that support SF won’t blink an eyelid, and if anything garner more support to the party as they feel under siege again.
Disagree. If it was only Unionist voices giving it large I would agree but the fact that it’s all the executive parties who are having a go you know it’s serious.Jim Lahey wrote: Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:46 amScum they are indeed.URH wrote: Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:36 am Shinner Twitter is mad, using the funeral of Noah Donahoe to justify MON at Storey’s funeral.

She's been asked to step aside as opposed to resign, no? Just while the investigation is ongoing. Of course it's unlikely to go in her favour so resignation will be the next thing. Then we can go after Mary Lou!Jim Lahey wrote: Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:46 amScum they are indeed.URH wrote: Thu Jul 02, 2020 9:36 am Shinner Twitter is mad, using the funeral of Noah Donahoe to justify MON at Storey’s funeral.

Why not ?...... I am all for making money and allowing enterprise to flourish but I find it hypocritical that gobshites like Yates etc. should have a pop at people who will spend every penny of that 'extra' payment in the local economy on goods, services and VAT.
It's over 100,000 getting more than €150 more than their previous pay. We're not really talking about your regular shop assistants here but the people picking up a few hours here and there. No problem if you think the extra €200m was worth it but don't minimise the cost by talking about one person getting an extra €100. Everything has to be paid for in the end.The sun god wrote: Thu Jul 02, 2020 12:43 pmWhy not ?......

Getting a 'free' pension is no different to claiming social welfare and in Yates case, he could be getting it for 40 years.

The pension thing really should be addressed. Turkeys voting for Christmas to get it changed though. Is there a way around it? I've nothing much against top up payments and pensions for older ex politicians but as you say, what logic dictates Yates gets that on top of whatever else he can earn. Are they separate payments for tax purposes or do we at least get some of that back?The sun god wrote: Thu Jul 02, 2020 1:43 pmIndeed it does, in theory, and that includes the current 78K index linked, that the bold Ivan gets courtesy of spending a couple of years in Muck house and will continue to get in perpetuity.CM11 wrote: Thu Jul 02, 2020 1:17 pmIt's over 100,000 getting more than €150 more than their previous pay.

200 million is fucking nothing in the scheme of things when nobody batted an eye-lash at a possible 1 billion euro spend on PPE. That aside wait until you see the HSE budget overspend this year and what they will demand for future years and that's before ' Phil Ní Handout' gets her snout in the trough.

Looks like ER has got his man at last
Edit: wife is in palliative care :(
Dr Holohan said from a public health point of view, there is no longer a reason for schools to stay closed and NPHET "will work in support of that sector".
"We've had good and extensive engagement with the Department (of Education) to implement it (the guidance). Every sector that will be important should take the advice and put in place plans."
He said "hopefully" the evidence will give further reassurance that "this disease affects children less severely and they play less of a role in transmission but it will be kept under review".
