This morning.
Via RTÉ News:
HSE CEO Paul Reid Reid said that there is evidence in Europe that vaccinating health care workers is a good idea.
He added that monkeypox is a mild self-limiting illness that people generally recover from in weeks, and that it does not spread easily between people, generally skin to skin contact – although there is nothing to say that it will not be airborne in the future.

Graham Dwyer leaving Dun Laoghaire Courthouse on September 18, 2013 after being charged with the murder of Elaine O’Hara
This morning/afternoon.
The Supreme Court is to make orders upholding Graham Dwyer’s successful High Court challenge to Ireland’s data retention laws and dismissing an appeal by the State.
The court confirmed a European ruling that Ireland’s data legislation breaches EU law and this decision must apply to past as well as future cases.
Via Independent.ie:
Confirmation of the decision came from Chief Justice Donal O’Donnell after a lawyer for the State said it had no objection to the orders being made.
It means the Supreme Court will not have to reconvene for any further hearing in the matter and will simply issue the orders.
Foxrock architect Dwyer, who is serving a life sentence for the murder of childcare worker Elaine O’Hara, plans to use the ruling to bolster a separate challenge he has taken against his conviction.
….If the Court of Appeal finds that the data evidence should have been excluded from his trial, it will have to weigh up whether there was enough other evidence to prove the case against Dwyer.

Minister of State for the Department of Education, with responsibility for Special Education and Inclusion, Josepha Madigan
This is a supplementary measure to ensure that while children await a new special class placement in a mainstream school, they can access a more sustained level of support in a setting with peers of their own age.

Last night/this morning
Via RTÉ News:
The Minister of State for Special Education has called a meeting of stakeholders this afternoon to discuss a controversial proposal to accommodate children with autism and other disabilities in the Dublin area in special temporary education centres from September.
Autism campaigners and school principals have reacted with shock to the decision, which was announced on Twitter by Minister Josepha Madigan.
Details of the plan – designed to address a severe shortage of school places in the capital – emerged last night.
Adam Harris of the charity AsIAm has said he is “truly shocked” by the plan which will mean “the segregation of autistic children from their peers”.
Mr Harris said his organisation estimated that there were at least several hundred autistic children across the country who have been unable to find a suitable school place for this coming September.
