    @Diarmuid: The Brexit consequences are our 3rd priority now. After coronavirus – and then sorting out how to pay for the billions it costs!

    @Ale Ceaser: and you can’t pay back the billions without sorting brexit, there needs to be solid trade deals so we know roughly where we stand in relation to import/export/ employment.any big changes will cause even more tax and unemployment burden

    Brexit, Smcexit, That is all so yesterday. It’s a one world struggle now guys. For now, forget climate change, arms limitations, economy downturns, it’s all about beating a tiny little virus. This pandemic should be a wake up call to us all. We will live in a changed world after this is finished.

    @John C: Sadly that changed world, for Ireland, will include billions more borrowings. Not so much yesterday – but next summer….

    @Ale Ceaser: Two saying spring to mind……. Money follows money……. and…….. Never waste a good crisis.

    At the end of the day the usual suspects will be winners yet again.
