Setting up my new home working station. The Govt wants remote working to become part of the new normal. If done right, the benefits will be huge; reduced business costs, better work-life balance especially for parents, less traffic, lower emissions & time saved on the commute. pic.twitter.com/REdA78d1Hd

Unacceptable that @opwireland should reverse decision on #PhoenixPark gates without consultation & only now offering to consult after reopening the gates!

The immediate significance of Paschal Donohoe’s (Irish Finance Minister) elevation to the Presidency of the Eurogroup? Death knell to any thoughts of corporate tax harmonisation in the Eurozone and the EU. In short, business as usual at a time we cannot afford business as usual

Last night.
The Tonight Show on VMT.
GP, broadcaster and columnist, Dr Nina Byrnes calls for a mass vaccination drive to prevent the flu and Covid-19 ‘peaking together” in a deadly embrace.
Peaking together is lot of fun for the microbes, of course, but leaves us vulnerable to two lurgies at once.
Thanks, Doc.

This morning.
Two days after a Meath Fianna Fáil activist accused his local TD Thomas Byrne (top) of disclosing fellow cabinet member Barry Cowen’s 2016 drink driving conviction to the press…
Alan R writes:
You have to hand it to Fianna Fáil. Thomas Byrne has been trending on Twitter for the past 36 hours and there is a complete mainstream lockdown on the story here. Quite an achievement in media control and bodes well for the party containing more serious cover ups to come….
FIGHT!

This evening.
The Department of Finance announces:
The Minister for Finance, Paschal Donohoe TD, has today (Thursday) been elected as President of Eurogroup of Finance Ministers, succeeding Portugal’s Mario Centeno. His term will commence on 13 July, and he will serve for 2.5 years in the role.
Minister Donohoe was elected by his fellow Euro Area Finance Ministers at a meeting of the Eurogroup held by video conference. The other candidates were Minister Nadia Calviño of Spain, and Minister Pierre Gramegna of Luxembourg.
The Eurogroup is the body through which Finance Ministers of the 19 Euro area Member States take decisions on policy issues relating to management of the Euro area economy. Finance Ministers of the eight Member States who are not part of the Euro area frequently attend meetings given the importance of the issues under discussion.
The Eurogroup President has a vital role in shaping the agenda and policy response to major economic issues, including the economic impact of the present COVID-19 pandemic. Minister Donohoe is one of the longest-serving EU Finance Ministers and members of the Eurogroup.
FIGHT!
