The Minister for Health, Stephen Donnelly, has said the Covid-19 pandemic payment of €1,000 is a small recognition and he wants it in staff pay cheques or bank accounts immediately.

Minister Donnelly told the annual conference of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) in Co Sligo that they had worked long hours, more stressful situations, often head to toe in PPE.

He said the Covid-19 pandemic was not over, but has moved into a different phase. The minister told delegates that much of the success of the vaccination programme was down to nurses, and he said that excess mortality here due to Covid-19 was one tenth of what it was in the UK.

INMO president Karen McGowan told delegates that what should have been a good news story in the announcement of the Pandemic Recognition Payment has turned into a protracted process and taken the good news out of the measure.

ideal time to work out? Is it best to hit the gym in the morning? Or, should you wait until the evening to pump some iron?Well, according to new research, it depends. In a new study, published Tuesday in "Frontiers in Physiology," 36 women and 26 men were randomized to workouts in the morning or evening for 12 weeks. Participants were nonsmoking, healthy, trained women and men with no known cardiovascular or metabolic diseases as assessed by a medical history and a comprehensive medical examination. In addition, all participants were highly active, middle-aged (25–55 years old) and had a lean body mass index and stable weight for at least 6 months prior to the beginning of the study.People run on treadmills at a New York Sports Club in Brooklyn, New York (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images) The men and women were required to do multimodal workouts — a combination of physical exercises requiring different components, such as cardiorespiratory, muscular strength and flexibility — for a total of four training sessions per week.RELATED: Exercise after COVID-19 vaccine may increase antibodies, study findsThe people were then analyzed for their muscular strength, endurance, power, body composition, respiratory exchange ratio, behavioral mood changes and dietary intake.
