Will Ireland become a failed state because of our response to COVID?

I was exposed to that old chestnut by a friend who is a teacher , "Now you see how hard it is to be a teacher". Of course my response was "come and do my job, while also doing your job full time and see how you get on."
 
Anyway, back on topic; how long can the Covid Payments go on for and what do people think the unemployment rate will look like when the dust settles?
