Yet people and Eoin O Broin think we have the workers to build 100,000 public houses in 5 years.

The real world lads.

Why would I not be surprised that FG decide policy based on an off hand comment of a lifestyle programme on the telly?

Add in the narrow tax base here, tax revenues will be evaporating. the entire airline leasing industry going up the wall, that will take a few chunks out of the inflated GDP and put Ireland back well within the European stability pact.

The entire SF manifesto is a pure suicide note in this environment. I actually hope they do get into government. Will set this kip up for a decade of Troika rule

While I work on sites and know the construction sector every day, you spend 8am-11pm defending SF on boards yet you never voted for them until now.

What credentials have you got to just pass off my comment about a shortage of electrical contractors in Ireland?

You seem to know better than me.

Don't forget the oil price wars now kicking off. But sure thank god Fine Gael have set up a robust domestic economy over the last 10 years that will weather the international financial storms....oh wait they haven't!

You may know construction...but I fancy it isn't at a very sophisticated level if you think it requires me to be on here from 8-11, to post what I do.

I work supplying services and material to the construction business. It requires me to be in front of several PC's most days and to be in internet range 24-7.

I distract myself engaging here.

Indeed they haven’t. But I’d go so far to say that the Irish are incapable of building a domestic economy. Hence the MNC economy is the only game in town (and fg did pretty decent on that).

Ireland pre-MNC was a high tax social welfare kip, add in competition from China and the end of the iron curtain and modern day “80’s Ireland” would have the living standard of Moldova....

That actually explains a lot.

Maybe you should get a more active job. It might stop the online addiction.

Its not a good example.

SF won't thank you when all is said and done.

Patronising shower as well as arrogant you FGers. Feck all to say about anything but try and harass and annoy people who might criticise the mighty FG. As the fella says...why don't you mind your own business?

Cause your business is their business don't ya know. It's all optics management on their side. Blanch will be logging in for the morning shift in a few hours so expect more of the mindless insults and deflection. The problem for these lads is that the real world has burst their bubble. The tide is about to go out and we'll see who's been swimming naked.

Quite depressing that there are those about who think on the one hand that fretting about how long an opposing view stays online and good old fashioned sexism counts as political commentary.

Quite predictable from the Sinn Fein acolytes on here. In fact, we are getting closer and closer to my prediction a few days ago:

I haven’t heard any of the public health experts say that. Yes, I have heard oncologists, radiologists, GPs and some others call for planes to be cancelled, but they are experts in their own fields and not in the field of public health.

No Six Nations matches have been cancelled except the ones involving Italy. Most International Women’s Day events around the world have gone ahead bar a few in Asia, ditto parades twice and three times a day in Disneyland Paris and Disney World Orlando.

Get a bit of perspective away from your knee jerk anti-government rhetoric.

I believe the poster that you quoted was correct. One of the guest speakers on the Today with Sean O'Rourke radio show was Professor John Oxford, a leading virologist, whom one would expect has a vast knowledge related to this particular situation.

All things considered, it looks like the parade and events for St Patrick's day are to be cancelled.

Dublin's St Patrick's Day parade now cancelled according to RTE news. Took long enough.

Parade cancelled. What are shinners going to bitch about now??

If you are saying that by letting a left-wing government led by Sinn Fein take over that Fine Gael are demonstrating a lack of care in how Ireland fares because such a government would ruin the country, then I agree with you.

If it is the usual forked-tongue confusing and contradictory criticism of FG, then I don’t.

Classic Blanch.
Create your own meaning then criticise that meaning.
No need for a re-write thanks.
My comment explains itself.
If FG care about the well being of the country and think SF will be such a disaster, they wouldn't be relishing going in to opposition.
They should just be honest. If they aren't top dog they aren't arsed. Which is fine by me

I'm all broken up about that

Could a government ever look more hesitant and dithering as this care-taker one.

Just one faff and f***up after another.

What does that even mean? It’s like something lifted directly from Trump’s twitter page.

What exactly have they messed up? Is it the timing of cancelling parades? What would you have them do? Cancel everything and cause widespread panic? They've followed the advise from the HSE to date, which is based on advice from the WHO. There’s been very little government action on anything else, as is customary when we have an interim government. They’ve already said they’ll engage with the house whenever any executive decisions are made. All you’re doing is throwing mud continuously without any substance behind it. Criticise every decision even though you have no evidence that an alternative decision would be better.
