   Leo: Let’s go get Covid, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all this to blow over.

4. So that’s Michael D, Michael Martin, Leo Varadkar, Simon Harris, Helen McEntee, Charlie McConalogue and Jack Chambers who’ve all had it in the last few weeks

5. Major Irish politicians had done well until recently to dodge it (only ones I can remember getting it were Mary Lou, McEntee first time, Ryan, Donnelly). Seems there all getting it now – three most important ones (Michael D, Micheal and Leo) all got it in last three weeks.

7. Just read article on breakingnews about it. They mentioned Martins self isolation in USA during St Patricks visit and article ends with:

   (…)A positive test resulted in a prolonged stay in Washington for Mr Martin, who was forced to hold the St Patrick’s Day meeting with US president Joe Biden for the second year in a row.
