That seems to be the big issue - a lack of ICU beds. Maybe increasing the capacity there over the last six months would have been a good idea, probably much cheaper than another lockdown and all the extra unemployment payments.
Woah, woah, woah.
You wouldnât actually expect FFG to do something constructive with regard to the health service, would you?

Is this Level 3 as per the 5 step thing they published or Level 3 like Dublin with the pubs closed?
I think its about 2 million per bed
How is travel really banned?
Peanuts compared to the overall cost so far.
They arenât mutually exclusive expenses.
Savage insult to the hospitality sector. Iâm assuming this is the end of the stay and spend scheme?
How in the name of Christ can anyone run a business like this?

It was 10 per 100k at the height of Covid.
And that didnât include the additional 312 beds (which would add 6.24).
Itâs not
My Mrs called this a few weeks back.

Health service is just a black hole in terms of funding. You see with the Childrens hospital and its clear that allocation of resources and value for money are alien terms for these guys. Pensions and salary top ups are something theyâd know all about though. The public system seems to be cuffed by the use of infrastructure for private use and practice. Probably disproportionately so.

I was in the kinsale hotel on Saturday for a bite to eat. Got chatting to the fella at the desk and he was saying since Dublin went into level 3 they have basically been empty.
Shrewd woman, in some regards
