In a clip from a longer performance featuring interpretations of several of the band’s songs, (which spent just 24 hours on YouTube recently but may return), dancers from the Polish National Ballet perform to Radiohead’s ‘Reckoner’.

As you see, it works very well.

This afternoon.

Ringsend, Dublin 4.

Meanwhile…

Almost 60% of people say their mental health has been impacted by the pandemic, with younger people more likely to have experienced recent difficulties with their well-being.

The fifth Social Impact of Covid-19 survey, from the Central Statistics Office, gives an insight into the way people’s lives have changed in the last year.

The research – based on an online questionnaire with 1,621 people earlier this month – shows over 15% said they were downhearted or depressed “all or most of the time”, in the four weeks before the survey.

This compares with a figure of 5.5% in a similar study last April during the first wave.

…Life satisfaction is described as “low” by over 40% of those surveyed.

…Female respondents were more likely to feel lonely or report that their mental health and well-being had been negatively impacted by the pandemic.

This afternoon.

HSE briefing at Dr Steevens’ Hospital, Dublin.

HSE CEO Paul Reid addressed an Irish Daily Mail report this morning from a whistleblower who claims thousands of people who had been vaccinated have had their personal data compromised.

The whistleblower said IT system being used by the HSE was compromised and patients’ confidential data was accessible.

In relation to a Irish Daily Mail report, Paul Reid said they have ongoing discussions with the data protection commissioner.

He said the first stage is the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) which would have been a similar process they worked through in relation to testing and tracing – what levels of access for data, what levels of controls.

He said it was similar in terms of deployment of the IT system for the vaccine rollout. As part of that, he said there are different phases of control processes, and processes for deployment of that system.

“It’s a national system because there are people going into various locations – hospital groups, community organisations, vaccination centres – they’re not from a particular hospital or community organisation. So we always envisaged the processes were always defined that it would be a national view in the first instance.”

He said that when they move to vaccination centres, it’s expected the control view will be who is to be administered in that centre. Right now it is on a national basis, he said, and control processes are around as people are administered onto the system .

He said he is not aware of the case reported in the Daily Mail.

Hmm.

Anyone?
