Ploggers In Ireland tasks:
Is there a term for #dogowners who put dog poop in bags and then refuse to dispose of the bags properly? Noncompoop? Partlypoopers?
Anyone?

The day after knocking back drink
A quarter of workers will think
That they don’t give a toss
So they’ll email their boss
And say they don’t feel in the pink

Zack Boone – Feeling Is The New Fact
Irish singer songwriter’s musical mediation inspired by the 45th President of the United States.
To wit:
Not since Shakespeare, has a man done more to alter the English language than Donald Trump. Except, now, words have lost all meaning and feelings are the new facts.
Playful, provocative, and a little bit psychotic, this song is not a rebel song, this song is for all of you who adamantly insist that, despite all evidence to the contrary, Feeling Is The New Fact.
This afternoon.
West Wicklow.
Scenes around Hollywood village and Blessignton Lakes.

CervicalCheck log; Mary Regan, of RTE
Last week, several matters emerged concerning the CervicalCheck programme.
One of these was that some 6,000 women were to be written to and advised to return to their GPs for repeat smear tests.
This is in relation to a cohort of women who would have and initially tested positive for low-grade abnormalities after having a smear and who would have then been advised to have an additional HPV test within 30 days of the initial smear test.
In the cases of 6,000 women, their additional smear test was tested by Quest Laboratories for the HPV virus beyond the 30-day limit.
[The practice of being advised to have an additional HPV test, on foot of a test showing up low-grade abnormalities, began in Ireland in 2015]
Further to this..
This afternoon.
In respect of these 6,000 women, Mary Regan, on RTE, reported:
“Letters have been issued to those women today, and to their GPs, and they should receive them on Monday, advising them to go back for a repeat smear test.”
Meanwhile…
