There genuinely seems to be nobody in Government or the civil service who actually understands risk.
Concepts like 'acceptable risk', 'confirmation bias', appropriate assessment of risk and more all seem completely alien to them all.
They talk of the 'risk' from COVID...

1. Nobody should have to use headphones on a plane simply to drown out what they’re being forced to endure because of others’ lack of consideration.
2. I doubt there are many sets of headphones that would effectively drown out what’s in that video.

Don’t be daft. It doesn’t confuse anything.
It simply suggests that wearing dark clothing when cycling a bike at night - particularly with no lights - might not be the safest thing.
You don’t have to argue everyone as if cyclists are always in the right. They’re not.

Fair comment. Mostly…
I think rugby fans may seem to ‘take it personally’ as Farrell (1) doesn’t seem to learn, (2) never seems contrite in the immediate aftermath on the pitch / in the bin and (3) because he risks seriously injuring fellow players every time he does this.

The 'test event' last night is actually insulting to an entire industry.
❌ Nothing was actually tested.
❌ Nothing will be learned.
❌ Nothing will be gained.
The only good thing is some people got to work and enjoy a gig. HUGE value in that but none beyond that.

I love Ireland and the food culture here.

That said, tweets like this, which pounce on someone else’s tweet that didn’t even compare the price to Ireland (may have been implicit, perhaps) don’t do the industry any favours, to my mind.

Lads. Let’s just clear up a few things.

Having worked doors in Limerick during the period

Limerick is a fucking super city. Always has been.
Can we once and for all dispel the notion that you’ll get stabbed or shot in Limerick? There was a dodgy period in mid 2000s, caused by a small group. It’s a safe city, with lovely people that doesn’t have a tonne of money, and shitty rumours don’t help this.
