Luckily I have excellent broadband in Ireland and I love working from home. Long may it continue.

Delivering a better work life balance. We’ve have to remember after this we work to live not live to work. Family times with family is precious. Work you are a number and when you leave you’re not even remembered. These times hopefully bring families together and communities

timmydooley did his best to delay

Mix of school and home learning discussed for next termThe blended learning option was discussed at the first formal planning meetings on the reopening of schools that took place yesterday between the Department of Education and education partners. Most European countries have reopened schools already yet we haven't even the slightest idea of what we'll do in 3 months time. This crisis is really showing up Irish policymakers, they haven't a clue what they're doing in nearly all sectors. Not one element of this reality was unknown 2 months ago. People need to reflect on that. What is happening is government are drip feeding reality to the public. I believe it is hugely destructive because it is delaying adaptation.
