#VIDEO Ireland's Covid-19 cases due to socialising, not variant ow.ly/MOuE50D6jx0

I heard a sad story tonight - nurses in a hospital were booked in for their first vaccinations. All good, until the more highly paid consultants rocked up without an appointment and insisted on being vaccinated on the spot. Guess who got bumped? Yup, the nurses...


Could I ask those lucky enough to get early vaccination to be more diplomatic about it? There are many of us in very vulnerable situations that don't have hope of vaccination for months. Insult is added to injury by the pathetic rollout of the extra allocations @DonnellyStephen

I totally agree. This was beyond insulting @RTELateLateShow

This day 41 years ago – 9 January 1980 – Taoiseach Charles Haughey spoke on RTÉ, famously saying, “we are living away beyond our means.” It later emerged as a result of the Moriarty Tribunal that Haughey's debts with Allied Irish Banks (AIB) at the time totalled £1.143 million.

Producers who insist on interviewees coming into studio for interviews because it makes for better television, may soon have “great” TV interviewing crying relatives of sick people who have no hospital bed left to go to. Look at the numbers! Get real! Zoom!

HSE needs to reveal full schedule of where vaccinators are going to come from. School vaccinators work limited hours and there is limited capacity within our health service. Recruitment can take a long time - process needs to start now. @RoisinShortall @drivetimerte

Pandemics must and should disrupt, Unfortunately the diluted disruption the govt opted for has given us rolling lockdowns that are far more destructive to economy, society & mental health than #zerocovid wd have been. In emergencies govt must do what is right. Not what is popular

With 88 people with Covid now in ICU, what's it like to work in these wards as they approach peak capacity? I'm working on a report for @morningireland- if you're a nurse working in the ICU, do get in touch if you'd like to contribute. DMs open. #journorequest

Been tweeting interminably about #COVID19 - apologies - but living thru its Italian beginnings, Papers, curfew, 200ms Lockdown, watching the army transport the dead, medics traumatised, it's excruciating to see our own govt squander public sacrifice in its outdated thinking.

If, globally, we had acted courageously to deprive the #virus of its human host, we would likely not be where are are now. The same stale, limp, limping political/economic groupthink that decided 'our' reaction is seen also in #climatechange. We need new, better. And urgently.

Prediction: Leo will appear on the Late Late Toy Show wearing Christmas socks to reveal the restrictions are lifting, around the same time Micheál is standing, alone, outside Govt buildings to make the announcement.

The government will open the country up. People will shop, meet, visit. Santa will come. Virus numbers will grow. The government will lock the country down again. Happy Christmas.
