Six days ago the Minister for Health was saying that Ireland would test 15,000 a day. This morning, a major clamp-down on testing was announced. So why the U-Turn, and why is the rest of the media so quiet about it?

ON THIS DAY: 25TH MAY 1846: Birth of Michael Davitt, One of the Leaders in the Land League and activist in the 'Land Wars'

He was born in Mayo the second of five children in an Irish speaking family. They were evicted from their home in 1850 due to rent arrears and the family emigrated to England. They settled in a poor Irish community in East Lancashire. At 9 years of age, Michael went to work in a cotton mills and at age 11, his arm was badly injured in the mills and had to be amputated, he was dismissed without compensation as was customary at the time.

His plight came to the attention of a local benefactor who arranged for Michael to get a good education in a local Methodist school.

It’s understood that the CCP did considerable work behind the scenes to ensure that Dr Tedros would take the position in an election that saw Dr Tedros accused of covering up three separate cholera outbreaks when he was Ethiopia’s Health Minister.
