Great to have Fianna Fail back, in fairness.
Fianna Fail will do so much damage to the economy that it won’t matter what Policies Sinn Fein foist on us next time round.
If schools close they must be kept OPEN in the SUMMER so students can catch up.
Ehhh, try selling that one to the teachers’ unions…
The school buildings will be closed but the teaching will take place online.
Isn’t the CDC in the US now considering no longer using the PCR test due to false positives? Do the powers that be want chaos? Why are they ignoring the science on all this and engaging in pure self destruction? Great Rest anyone?
