exactly , nothing has been proved wrong, or right. Listening to Edwina Curry bleat on about it unchallenged was not what I wanted to hear. Pat does seem to have a soft spot for her !!!

She gets great eggs though

With the 5th highest Covid deaths per capita in the world, the UK have little to be smug about.

But they're finally getting it right with their vaccination programme..... nobody can deny that. If you're being honest most of us are jealous as hell tonight after our "big reveal" by M Martin!

It may turn out the UK took the right approach, however, they took a gamble on the single dose. And emergency licencing.

Yes they did take an educated gamble because they’re not complete and utter COWARDS like our supposed leaders (ha ha) are.

The European Union had 400 million people to think about before taking a gamble, the cowards. They should have just started injecting the first batch they received. YOLO

Pat how about sticking a few windmills in that old quarry behind your house?

Good man Pat, focusing on the science, he's 100% right.

All I'm hearing is waffle.

Who is the dose on trying to bluff his way with Pat now? Was only half listening at the start but I don't recognize his voice.

More waffle than a frozen food aisle.

Charlie McConalogue, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine.

A masterclass of saying a lot without saying anything.

Its not grilling these politicians need, its firing.

If the vaccination program is ramping up, why not leave the schools closed until the majority of kids have been vaccinated?

Not familiar with him. Disappointing performance (evasive waffle) for a relatively young politician.

He replaced Dara Calleary who resigned after the Oireachtas golf society dinner debacle in Clifden.

Dara Calleary replaced Barry Cowen who was sacked by Ml Martin over a drink-driving offence.

Recognized the name alright. Never heard him interviewed before. Also hope to never hear him again.

Pats like a lot of people at this stage getting sick of this governments incompetence, people's lives and businesses destroyed while these muppets swan around,
And it's not just the politicians, all these senior civil servants whos advising them should also be held to account.

My Dad and i have been watching Yes Minister. It was written in the 70s but it is as relevant today as then. The only way it has aged is the references to why they are in the EU, which obviously they aren't anymore.

All the shady deals going on between the civil servants, and all the energy put into looking good. It could easily be written today.

I think it was more down to geography than the ability to do the job, that's the way the work, it's not your ability to do the job, but where your based and your ability to defend you leader regardless of what the do.

Imagine if businesses operated like that, go for an interview, where you from? oh Mayo, Good, we don't have anybody from there so start in the morning.

I didn't hear the interview so can't comment on that but yeah I think he was hugely helped by where he is from. However lets be fair if they didn't spread ministerial positions there would be huge outrage.

Hard to know how accurate the story is...it was reported by Kacey O’Riordan afterall. Not a great track record there.

Children very last in the queue as things stand. If they took that approach they'd be doing well to get back for the start of the next school year.

Children are not in the queue yet. AZ only started testing vaccine on kids and I don't think any others available in EU are approved for children.
