Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited the pharmaceutical and biotech research firm APC – who have partnered with an Australian biotech firm Vaxine Pty to ‘accelerate’ the development of a vaccine for the rona – greeting its CEO Mark Barrett (top) in the now new normal manner.
UPDATE:
When I put it to the Taoiseach that the regulations may require bars to record what each individual diner ordered, he scoffed and dismissed this as not being the case at all
