According to the ESRI we are looking at a likely decline in GDP this year of 12.4% with a best case scenario decline of 8.6% and a worst case decline of 17.1%.
The human impact of this will be staggering. I hope our leaders are listening to the ESRI and not just to medics who have a very narrow focus.
None of the people on NPHET have ever had to worry about earning a living with most of them being paid by the State. They are insulated from the economic realities of their advice and will never have to worry about being paid. It is not their job to worry about such things but it is the job of our politicians.
