In yesterday's Sunday Business Post, Susan Mitchell's story was that the claim that there is only one applicant for every four nursing posts "has been dealt a hammer blow" by the latest recruitment figures from the HSE. On Saturday, tens of thousands of people attended a rally in Dublin city centre in support of nurses.

Elsewhere in the Biz Post, our own Brendan O'Hanlon is quoted in Róisín Burke's latest on IALPA and CHC helicopters.

This morning's front pages are a mixture of the nurses dispute, Brexit and a health minister under siege at work and in his own home. Elsewhere, the Irish Times reports that the first phase of the new national children’s hospital will not be able to open as scheduled this summer due to a shortage of specialist medical staff.

Charlie Weston writes in the Indo that Revenue should concentrate on bogus self-employment - not modest relief for workers, while Eddie Hobbs resurfaces from the cold embers of a political farce to keep a local journalist out of work. He hasn't given up on his overworked similes. The column is ripe with examples, but "...trade unions, as price setters, defend changes to work practices like the Red Army at Stalingrad" isn't going to keep the Pulitzer committee awake at night.

Your moment of Zen today comes in two portions.

The first is a Netflix recommendation. Natasha Lyonne co-creates and stars in Russian Doll. The eight-part opening season sees main character Nadia dying repeatedly and reliving her 36th birthday party. She's trapped in a surreal time loop and staring down the barrel of her own mortality. It's like a very dark and contemporary version of Groundhog Day and very very good. Treat yourself.

Your second portion of Zen is delivered by Coventry's finest. The Specials are back, they've released a new album, Encore, and it's gone straight to number one in the charts (whatever that means these days). The album is really something special, and captures the Brexit-laden mood (and other contemporary anxieties) in a host of surprising ways. It's the first new material with vocalist Terry Hall since 1981's seminal Ghost Town single.

The bad news is their three April shows in Dublin's Olympia are already sold out (I checked), and when I went looking for the vinyl edition of Encore at the weekend it was all sold out too. Good on 'em. In the meantime here's a taste, the single Vote for me.
