Chess Grandmaster Anna Muzychuk refuses to play in Saudi Arabia and says: "In a few days, I will lose two world titles, back to back." Because I decided not to go to Saudi Arabia. I refuse to play by special rules, to wear abaya, to be accompanied by a man so I can leave the hotel, so I don't feel like a second class person.
"I will follow my principles and not compete in the World Fast Chess and Blitz Championship where in just 5 days I could have won more money than dozens of other tournaments combined." This is all very nasty but the sad part is no one seems to care. Bitter feelings but can't go back. "

No Long Covid clinics between Galway & Dublin? None between Cork & Dublin? None in South-East or north-west?! Will you sign to ensure we can get the care we need? #LongCovid https://t.co/lMgw8bfedg via @UpliftIRL

Don't get defrauded out of your health by thinking you had the virus once and can't get it again shortly after
Omicron infection confers poor immunity to itself
Teacher who just tested positive for Covid spent several hours with parenta/siblings yesterday but they've been told no need to isolate or take a test. One will be going in to a school of 350 tomorrow. Why is this the HSE advice given hundreds unvaccinated in #schools ?
I've listened to @morningireland and @rtenews and still not a mention of a major mobilisation of Gardai to break the #Debenhams Henry Street picket last night. Media blackout by state broadcaster. Spent 10 mins talking about some motor converter thefts #HenryStreetHeroes
Strike breaking packers got Garda escort in Henry St & Limerick #Debenhams. @LineTralee tent broken up overnight & packers inside. Meanwhile, workers attending meetings to discuss a govt proposal on a training fund. Carrot & big stick. There really is one law for big business.
This is #Debenhams#Blanchardstown shop steward 5am today as she protests for her redundancy. 3 Bank of Irel executives each got €1m in payoffs (they part own Debenhams). Private health bosses divvy out vaccines to pals and get rap on knuckles, not gardai dragging them off.
