This afternoon.
A drill to check the National Isolation Unit’s ability to needlessly scare the public response to a possible Ebola infection case.
During the excercise streets around the Mater Hospital were cordoned off including Berkley Road, (above).
Good of the RNLI to help out in fairness.

You may recall the Wall Buddy [the almost life-size GAA wall posters] competition yesterday?
We have a winner.
‘Fast Forward wins the prize of a free Wall Buddy for correctly identifying the GAA stars above and giving us reasons for their pin up status.
His entry.
From left: Caroline O’Hanlon, Armagh ladies captain who scored a penalty in their Ulster final victory over Monaghan, their first Ulster title in seven years; David Moran, who after returning from two ankle injuries and two years out of the game won his place back in the Kerry team mid-season this year before going on to win an All-Ireland Medal and an All-Star, an outstanding role model for determination and persistence, and finally Seamus Callanan, who despite being written off by the press as past his prime (he’s only 25) finished the year as top scorer in the Championship 9 goals and 50 points.
Thanks all.

I am listening to The Derek Mooney show [RTÉ Radio One] on t’internet from abroad. For the last two days they have been running a competition to send a relative or friend who has emigrated back to Ireland for Christmas. The competition launched yesterday with a selection of songs which included the word ‘home’ accompanied by the host pretending he was an emigrant and faux crying along with laughter from the co-host [Brenda Donohue].
This afternoon (my morning) they played voice mail messages from people wishing to enter. People left their sad messages. The most heartbreaking story – and all their are stories are heartbreaking – will win the prize. How badly do you miss a loved one? Yeah, prove it…
This is Hunger Games style stuff and crass beyond measure or satire….
Anyone?

A global ranking of ‘ease of doing business’.
Story?
Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business, from 1–189. A high ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm.
