56% of all Covid19 deaths in this state occurred in our nursing homes. This was a systemic failure of the highest order.
The prevalence was particularly high in counties Cavan and Monaghan.
Today at the Dáil committee on Covid19 I had an opportunity to discuss some of the issues with the Expert Panel charged with examining the situation in nursing homes.

It took Chris MacManus six months to get to deliver a maiden speech in the European Parliament (due to Covid) but he absolutely nailed it today!
This important film is on RTÉ 1 this evening at 9.35pm. For anyone who wants to get a better sense of Britains’s dirty war in Ireland, this is essential viewing.
One Minister feels unwell = entire cabinet self-isolating & Dáil adjourned for a week.
Workers at meat plant test positive for #Covid19 = business as usual & tests cancelled.
Welcome to the contradictions of FF/FG in government.

Really interesting day in Donegal talking about the future of Irish Agriculture.
It was really great to see the work of Inishowen Uplands EIP at first hand - showing that with a bit of support farmers can be profitable & sustainable.
Now it’s just a matter of getting that support!

Disappointing to learn that the Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Independant members of Monaghan County Council have decided, for the second year running, to impose a full 15% increase in Local Property Tax.
This tax simply makes up for the council funding that has been cut by those parties in government. It is unjust at any time but to impose additional charges on hard pressed Monaghan families in the middle of a pandemic is just tone-deaf and insulting.
Shame on them.
