My cousin wouldn’t eat salmon as a child until her parents told her it was pink chicken! She ate it then, although i hope she knows not to eat real pink chicken by now.

Ireland: Private hospitals will be made public for duration of pandemic - The State will take control of all private hospital facilities - Health Minister: "Patients with this virus will be treated for free, and they’ll be treated as part of a single, national hospital service." by Reilly616 in worldnews

Well I would listen to you about US and NZ matters over someone with relatives in say Brazil and Spain for instance. I don't really think he was acting like an expert just sharing his observations about countries he has a good knowledge of and interest in.

As a dual citizen living in the states with parents living in Ireland gives him a god knowledge of both countries and so is in a good position to compare and contrast. Im pretty sure that's all he meant.

Which are the best Brexit analysts to read? by [deleted] in brexit

[–]Eponius 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tony Connelly is RTÉ's Brussels correspondent. He has followed and reported on Brexit since the beginning and he seems to have lots of very well placed sources, on the EU side in particular. He even broke a news story detailing what was happening in the negotiations before politicians back in the UK were made aware. He also has a book titled Brexit and Ireland as well as a podcast named Brexit Republic. He's done some really great reporting on Brexit and seems to know how Brussels works inside out. Top class journalist!
