@Geoseph_Usher That would be so nice for an entrance hall in Meath schools.

@astro_coffee Should have gone to Penny's. That where Taoiseach was

Carl Sagan testified before Congress in 1985 on climate change. Can you imagine if they had listened to him?

No response to my letter from the leader of the Irish Labour Party. I suppose racism within the ranks of the Labour Party is not a priority for Ms Bacik.

@EemerEivers If we could develop resources for teaching STEM as Gaeilge maybe could balance the time allocation.

@Leargas_etwinn @EuTopiaplus Will there be similar this year?

@PrimEdTeacher Guidelines for promoting to schools needed. I think Supervalu effort on pollinators has nice aspects but card collecting to enter a draw is a time waster.

I certainly don't demand this! Work on smaller class sizes and getting proper supports for our pupils! Seriously. Not tick the box stuff REAL SUPPORTS, make a REAL DIFFERENCE

I think they are campaigning to continue doing what they currently do, including pollutants and climate impacts. Financial supplements of private businesses with such environmental and social impact should encourage production of healthy foods in sustainable way.

@niamh_dr I think it will be good to see if certain children have been impacted more by the current circumstances and can be offered support they might not normally have needed. The pressure comes from somewhere,-maybe teachers, parents can hide their interest in that part of the report.

@gregor_kerr @seancaff24 That sounds suspiciously like science. Outcomes based on risk of exposure (number of close contacts, transmissability of variants) x consequence of catching (age, underlying conditions). It's the exposure risk that's increased worry for snas, gardai and teachers.

This girl has my absolute admiration for her mental, physical and emotional strength. I have a feeling she will do a lot to change Ireland for the better. The headline is too sensationalist. Part of the change that is needed. @IrishTimes

So, noting that limitation, here are four counties showing different recent patterns.

Dublin: Second period of excess, still rising
Cork: First excess, still rising
Waterford: First excess, but now returned to normal range
Westmeath: No visible excess in 2020/21
