There needs to be accountability. We've been highlighting issues for the past six months. Dark clouds gathering for education - potential strike by school secretaries; ASTI balloting members; and no capacity for social distancing in schools could see closures. @1GaryGannon #twip

“LC students can’t be left waiting until June for a decision. The virus is stressful enough for young people, they need clarity.” #LeavingCert2020 -@RoisinShortall
‘We all accept that tough decisions have to be taken but they have to be the right decisions.Issues such as lack of affordable housing, access to healthcare & provision of public services etc all still exist & require an approach which delivers these services in a universal way’

[Note from me: I don’t watch the news. I rely on scientific data. The best resource for reliable scientific information can be found in the primary biomedical literature at PubMed, a search engine maintained by the United States National Library of Medicine at the NIH. (2/n)
The group of doctors and scientists on today’s episode of TWiV have devised a system of sifting through the vast amount of SARS-CoV-2 literature that is readily pouring out on PubMed these days. (3/n)
If Ireland 🇮🇪 is heading for its first "Grand Coalition", then we better have a look at how other countries have gone about it. #ge2020 #twip

So the first thing that jumps out is that there is no "rotating Chancellor" or "rotating Prime Minister".

It would be a *first* among modern European coalitions 🇪🇺.
