This afternoon.

Leinster House, Dublin 2.

Any Level 5 pushback?

The Social Democrats said the prospect of some normality at Christmas is an incentive to work hard, but this time must be used to devise an agreed medium-term strategy, while Labour leader Alan Kelly said the hope of some Christmas celebrations will build social solidarity…

Oh.

Meanwhile…

Sinn Fein President Mary Lou McDonald

Last night.

Speaking on [Newstalk’s] The Hard Shoulder, [Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald] said: “I accept that measures up to and including Level 5 may sadly be necessary.”

Anti masker.

You’re on your own.

notice Marylou has a full time driver, it is revealing that she always travels in the back.

if she has a driver, why would she get in the front?

  Hand on knee. Creeps up, finger by finger.
  
  Ah, Jaysus. I can’t even type it without feeling queasy.

  All the government folk get in the front seat. It’s an optics thing to give the impression of equality rather than the notion that they are in some way better than the driver. I think it started just after the 2011 humiliation of FF but I’m open to correction on that.

    That’s ridiculous. Surely the entire point of having a driver is that they can work en route, make phone calls etc.

Best safe distance practice would be to sit in the back surely?

But sure she is immune now anyways.
