If the pension age is kept at 66 rather than increased with life expectancy, further tax increases would be needed. This would require a further €800 for the typical worker at average wages.

The Tánaiste’s claim on RTE’s “This Week” yesterday that the Fiscal Council failed to predict that the Government would reach budget balance is unfounded. The Council’s role is to assess official forecasts and highlight risks. It did not make fiscal forecasts in those years.

Why talk about the need for "scientific evidence" on the efficacy on antigen tests then produce this useless demonstration? Why waste the Oireachtas time when you can do this in a press conference? Is this the best demonstration that can be done 15 months into the pandemic?
Only 'evidence' I take from this patronising spectacle is that #NPHET don't trust the public,even after months of compliance with world beating levels of restrictions. One of the lessons of Covid must be that comm' with the public is overhauled.This won't be the final pandemic.

Pup and mobility. A few of these curves turning uncomfortably nonlinear / stuck at elevated levels. Hopefully this is not added to post restrictions.
