I can’t get over the thought of the Burke house, all getting up yesterday. Queuing for showers. Who made breakfast? Did shiny gruiag get into the bathroom first as she had to blow dry her hair? Do they chit-chat? Are they happy? Do they have a dishwasher? Who feeds the cat?

Really good news for the Irish consumer & tourism sector today with the announcement that the 9% VAT rate will remain in place until August 31st.This minimises inflation, safeguards livelihoods & protects tourism’s recovery. Heartfelt thanks @mmcgrathtd @Paschald @cathmartingreen

“Almost one in seven hotel rooms booked by Government for refugees” irishtimes.com/business/2022…
