Even @JoeBrolly1993 harshest critics believe he was harshly and rudely treated by Claire Byrne last night📺 @ClaireByrneLive
Her approach in general needs far more consistency. Thus far not a mention of it on radio today on 📻 @TodaywithClaire .#cblive#TodayCB #joebrolly pic.twitter.com/qjLKBCW8MD— Joe Seward (@JoeSeward1) March 23, 2021
Last night.
Claire Byrne Live on RTÉ One.
“You see them [the DUP] chuckling and guffawing when people are trying to have a serious discussion. Laughing at the Irish language, laughing at Gaelic sports, the homophobia, the racism, all these things.”

I was taken off air and told it was because RTE could not risk me saying the DUP were homophobic, racist or sectarian. I must apologise to the DUP at once. pic.twitter.com/9iZSSLC3gW

FIGHT!
This morning.
Kildare Street, Dublin 2
Dublin Lord Mayor Hazel Chu passing an Extinction Rebellion protest outside Leinster House.
Mayor Chu is the Chair of the Green Party, but has announced she wants to run in the Seanad by-elections next month as an independent candidate.
She said:
“Though I am a Green member, I understand I am not endorsed by the party since the executive made the decision not to hold a selection convention. I also understand there is no pact in place with any other parties as confirmed by the leader at the last executive meeting. I am not looking for any support from the party since this was a personal choice to ensure that there is proper representation,”
“In the current climate, it is important to have women and minorities represented at this election. This choice, as I said, is a personal one, as is my candidacy. After spending the year speaking to children from all backgrounds that anyone can run for election I felt that it was essential I follow what I preach.

Meanwhile…
I see @hazechu is running for the #Seanad. That’s fair enough and I wish her well… BUT the office of @LordMayorDublin deserves more respect than this. It is not a stop gap position.
If Cllr Chu is willing to resign as Mayor if elected as Senator, then better to resign now.

This morning.
Government Buildings, Dublin 2
Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has announced that Mandatory hotel quarantine in Ireland will come into effect this Friday.
Via RTÉ
The cost for an incoming passenger coming from one of 33 designated states is €1,875 for 12 nights.
The rules will also apply to any passenger who arrives into the State without the required negative PCR test for Covid-19.
The day rate for those passengers will be €150.
The service provider – Tifco Hotel Group – will provide full board accommodation, along with transportation, security, health and well-being services.
The first facility that will be available to receive arriving passengers is the Crowne Plaza Dublin Airport Hotel in Santry (top).
However, the Tifco Hotel Group has committed to making as many rooms available as required.
The Department of Health said that when it comes to transportation, the Defence Forces will oversee the process, but members will escort the bus rather than drive it.

Mandatory hotel quarantine is complex and will prove challenging at times. There will inevitably, and unfortunately, be hard individual cases. It’s important to be honest about that.

Um.
Yesterday: Take Me To The Plaza
Meanwhile…
For those media reporting the cost of mandatory hotel accommodation to be €1,875 for 12 nights, that's not what the booking website says, its €2,500 for two for 12 nights including bed, breakfast, lunch, dinner. See screenshot below. Teething probs? https://t.co/zmIJtbqFbn
