What a rollercoaster seven days it has been. Things move so fast in Covid-land, that the start of any week is barely recognisable by the end of the week.
And each and every one of us is a hostage to this crazy fairground ride, minus the fun element. We had the three-county lockdown for Kildare, Laois and Offaly.
Then 200 cases reported this day week, which shocked many people. A testy Cabinet meeting was followed by the Government introducing a raft of new restrictions.
Then the resignation of the Minister for Agriculture, and the Seanad Leas-Cathaoirleach, over the now infamous Clifden golf event.
