    We work in a metal working workshop. Welding masks on all day. No stopping. No furlough. Nothing. Some teachers have some necks.

    I had a hospital appointment yesterday, now thats real work, stress and fatigue. This TUI suggestion is just outrageously selfish, but if truth be know, teacher unions have tried everything lamenting trick in the book to close schools since they reopened. I've little regard for this government but on this, stick to your guns and dismiss this nonsense

    You would have to wonder who within the TUI thought that this was a good idea. Did they not have any idea about how this would look to everybody else? Talk about giving people a stick to beat you with.

    Why not just close the schools permanently, and keep paying the teachers, would that suit the teachers even better?

    Tui have an amazing ability to put their foot in it everytime.

    Jen is making the most important point that the notion of a 7 day quarantine means little Johnny can hug granny needs to be stopped now.

    They'd be complaining of boredom, it's unfair to their "mental health" ;)

    What is is about the greyhound industry and the funding it gets, I just don't get how or why any funding is allocated to this bizzare industry.

    Neasa Hourigan of the Greens seems to support the forced enclosure of wild animals.

    Surely the Greens should be looking for the closure of the zoos.

    They are burnt out and fatigued after 11 days work, after their 9 day break at Halloween (on top of their 90 day break in the summer, the mid term before that, Easter before that, mid term before that)

    God almighty if they are burnt out and fatigued so quickly god help the poor kids

    I listened to the debate and this is a disgrace for Byrne and her researchers as it definitely was not said about the guys past.

    Nor was it mentioned that Ms Byrne and her partner are anti greyhound racing and are behind the RTÉ program falsely claiming that thousands of greyhounds are killed every year, having ears cut off or being pumped full of EPO.

    Why would that be an excuse for not giving the councillor's background?

    Who said it was false BTW? These claims are made about greyhound racing all over the world.

    To start with, greyhounds can be traced through DNA. Every litter bred has its parents DNA stored. So destroying their earmarks is an exercise in futility.

    When collating the figures of greyhounds “disappearing” every year, the number coursed only or sold abroad wasn’t allowed for.

    Those opposed to greyhound racing know only too well how to pull at people’s heartstrings! I, for one, was glad to have the issue of greyhounds put down in knackeries highlighted.

    One scene of a greyhound being boiled alive has been doing the rounds for years and seems to be the only evidence available of such practice.

    So this practice being reported all around the world is false, because the greyhound industry says so? Was there any independent finding that supports this?
