Re that video of Varadkar. One of the things I love about this country is the access to Politicians we have. They do ordinary things and are treated no differently. Many TD's use public transport or cycle. Most are very approachable. It would be a shame to lose that.

Listening to Claire Byrne, seems to be a lot of parents going mad at the prospect of the mid term being extended for a week. Some citing the children's mental health. It's a week, not a month. If it helps stops the spread of Covid and allows us have a Christmas it's worth it.
