HSE CEO Paul Reid this afternoon

This afternoon

Dr Steeven’s Hospital, Dublin.

Via RTÉ:

At the weekly HSE briefing, Mr Reid said recent Amárach Reseach data shows that the percentage of the population who say they will definitely take a vaccine has increased from 45% in November to 70% today, with an additional 17% saying they will “probably” take a vaccine.

He said the latest social activity measure by the ESRI shows that support for the vaccine remains strong.

He said HPSC data just being finalised shows a “quite extraordinary take-up” throughout the age groups.

“Based on the CSO data that they are working off…for the 85 years plus, 96% have received dose one”, Mr Reid said. “80 to 84, 99% dose one. 70 to 79, 97% , and 74 to 75 is 92%.”

He said 73% of the 60 to 69 group have received dose one, and 26.5% of 50 to 59s, as these cohorts are still receiving vaccines.

This afternoon.

Sinn Féin TD Eoin Ó Bróin tweetz:

I am absolutely appalled by this question. Claire Byrne Live and RTÉ should withdraw this survey. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are actively excluding Sinn Féin from talks. Sinn Féin is doing everything we can to form a Government. Appalling bias here.

Meanwhile…

Anyone?

Um.

This afternoon.

RTÉ’s Mary Regan tweetz:

Four out of five (82%) Irish adults agree that the Government is doing a good job in handing Covid-19 with “strong agreement” with this far higher among older people, according to Behaviours and Attitude-commissioned survey for RTÉ.

Hi, I was hoping you may be able to help with a college project I’m working on with a friend of mine. We’re trying to create an app to improve the buying/renting experience of people in Ireland (it’s horrific). If you could share this survey it would be really appreciated.

In fairness.

Minister of State for Higher Education Mary Mitchell O’Connor; sections of a report by the Union of Students in Ireland

This morning.

The Minister of State for Higher Education Mary Mitchell O’Connor attended the launch of the Union of Students in Ireland’s Student Mental Health report.

The report, which involved the input of 3,340 students, has found that:

Some 38.4% of students suffer extreme severe anxiety, 29.9% depression and 17.2% stress.

It also found:

A total of 41.8% of those who participated in the study were receiving social welfare support of some kind. Many were dependent on financial assistance from parents (63%), partner (3.8%), as well as bank (4.7%) and Credit Union loans (6.0%).

A total of 77.8% of students were dependant on financial assistance from at least one of the named sources above.

…There were some differences in students mental health depending on their living arrangements.

Those who had a home they owned were much more likely to be within normal ranges and less likely to be extremely severe on all three scales.

As expected those without stable accommodation were most vulnerable when it came to anxiety (50.0%) and depression (77.8%) while those falling into the other category were more likely to be extremely severely stressed (35.7%) this included those living in a variety of settings including with friends, family owned accommodation and a mobile home.

Could you do a fierce short survey about your experiences for a friend’s college project?

With the current renting and housing situation in Ireland at the moment, I know many of you, like me, will have a lot to say about it.

The survey only takes a few minutes, and my friend and her project group would be delighted to get as many responses as possible.
