I found it! Here’s Eamon Farrell and myself toiling away at the #Aertel coalface. Note the cutting edge technology. Not sure of the exact date but it appears that Stephen Hendry has just beaten Jimmy White in the snooker. Great memories of Aertel and all who sailed in her.

Another case of a good family man who just snapped. The fact that he had been jailed for battering her isn’t mentioned until paragraph 15. You need to read down further to learn they were separated & she texted she was ‘terrified’ just weeks before he killed her with a hammer.

All young adults should see this graph: Korea’s mass testing for Covid 19 indicates those aged 20 to 30 are by far the the most likely to be carriers but very often - as its impact on healthy people in this group is mild to invisible - they won’t realise it. And so it spreads.

There’s @krishgm being impressive again. Brexit has helped showcase how exceptionally skilled he is (and exposed how tragically poor so many others are when it comes to the business of knowing and understanding what’s happening well enough to properly hold politicians to account)

Wishing Sean O’Rourke the very best on his retirement. The best broadcast journalist of his generation (and probably of the generations on either side). A huge loss to RTE and to everyone who appreciates and benefits from great journalism.

Okay. We understand homeless services are under huge pressure. But who would put a mother with a preemie infant and a 16 month old baby in one night only hostels for several weeks leaving them to walk the streets with their babies in winter weather?

This interview with Anna and Gary will stay with me for a very long time. A rapist destroyed this girl’s life. It’s never the victim’s fault. But if you’re on hols or clubbing please remember there are predators like this out there. Enjoy yourself but take precautions & stay safe

It appears to may be harder to stick to the party line and get your story straight when there is more than one party (and armies of competing spin doctors).

So the Taoiseach's remarks were not just leaked but 'selectively' leaked. Clear implication is that @campaignforleo is the victim of a deliberate attempt to misrepresent his views.Can't wait to hear all the nice things he said about journalists that those guests didn't leak.

. @MurphyEoghan says twice the Taoiseach's comments have been taken out of context and "selectively leaked". Says Govt wants to protect reporting over opinion making. Complimentary of the idea of public service broadcasting/RTE.

Some years ago I was shown a 1974 ministerial briefing doc on Thalidomide which stated ‘the govt does not regard itself as under any legal or moral obligation to compensate the victims’. It also set out how no govt public warning was issued, apparently to avoid causing panic.
