I spent ten hours in A&E last night. Leaving today at 6 a.m., I was aware of many staff members wiping down surfaces, making everything safe for the rest of us. Ten hours into a busy shift, they were protecting us. Let’s protect the nurses and the doctors by following the rules

On a night like tonight, you might think that The Taoiseach might address the nation. The medics have enough to be doing without going on tv pleading with people to behave. Where is the political leadership? #COVID19ireland

This Kilkenny car story is beyond tragic. The man who stole the car is dead and the young 16 year old whose parents owned the car, has life-altering injuries. Sadness upon sadness.

So Kamala Harris had an affair with a married man almost 20 years ago. They will crucify her for that. Not much comment on a president who cheated on his pregnant wife. No siree. Different standards fo the men.

I stooped at Five Points Coffee in Harold’s Cross to buy an Almond Croissant. They were only accepting cards, I had cash. On my way out out the shop, a very nice young man offered to pay for heart’s desire and he did! People are just great.

You would have to be made of stone to be unaffected by the testimony of Helen and her six sisters whose father was jailed for repeated rape and cruelty. Five and half years to get a kind of closure. The state failed them. No words to describe their bravery.
