Seems orders for the week are to shift the blame to the ordinary person.
Simon Harris,
Stephen Donnelly,
The Taoiseach and numerous posters on here pivoting to that stance today.

Expect loads of anecdotal 'I saw in my local xxxxxx....' stories to bolster the blame shifting.

Don’t worry Mr B .. there’s tellers outside every shopping mall and Main Street in the country annotating what everyone who wants to see, can see.

It’s not true of course unless it goes into a MDB.

Mr B........do us a favour, get real:D

It wouldn't be my thing but if we are bringing funerals into it. The people who broke the rules at the Gardaí funeral must be pointed out aswell

Gardà locally here told me that funeral shouldn't have happened
What do we have to do to remind high profile people that this pandemic won't go on forever and memorials of high profile people can be held later

You brought funerals up. And it was a funeral not a fake funeral, unless Bobby is still alive

Keep following orders Brendi...we know what is going on here. It's the mop up brigade out in force cleaning up after Leo's latest undermining political rant.

Start blaming ordinary people doing their best in the main to make sense of the confusing messaging.

Any comment at all on the two messages put out today by the Tanaiste and the Taoiseach...i.e. circuit breaker is possible vs circuit breaker is doubtful.

FrancieBrady

Not a good week for Leo either.

Leo does a comple uturn and suggests short sharp lockdowns maybe needed, Donnelly and some obscure minister of state confirm schools won't be getting extended mid term break and just to finish off the day, Taoiseach rules nothing out including level 4 & 5 and gets a subtle dig in at Leo saying no circuit breaker type lockdown would work, be considered etc.

If Worldometers figure of 1,000 yesterday is accurate we are getting Level 5, even if not in name

No Mr B, I don’t spend all my days of rest trawling for negativity and trying to toss out spurious accusations.

Quite selective from Pearse, did the expert group also say give the two fingers to corporate tax payers who an arm of the state had said was fully compliant with Irish tax law? Has some neck talking about people embarrassing themselves.

Lapped up as usual by people like yourself.

These folk and their fellow travelers tend to be selective cc.

They tend to get very upset about relatively minor stuff but seem to ignore churns amongst their ranks who exult at ‘breaking the state’

No problem with that it seems and they expect the taxpayer to vote them in.

Poor auld Leo he doesn't know what the hell way to swing now, no matter what way the wind is blowing.

I could have sworn I witnessed Leo about to pop a blood vessel on the telly on Monday night telling us that the country didn't need to go to level 5 just because NPHET said so, but surely not because I seen him in the papers this morning actually telling us the country needed to go into a level 5 " did someone slap him around the face with a wet trout and waken him, or did he just wait until mid week when he heard the Shinners use the "circuit breaker" terminology and decide to run with that instead?

You need to wait for cases to finish before doing victory laps Christy. How many times do you need to be told that.

Brendi, you'll get no rest until you red out under yon bed.

Any comment on the two conflicting statements from the Tanaiste and the Taoiseach?
Senior hurling is it?

There's no victory lap, seems you dont understand this issue either. Not appealing the flawed EU ruling is as stupid as wanting to spend money held in escrow.

How stupid an opinion is that?


You can't spend money held in escrow, you have to take steps to get it out of escrow first.

Point is you should not be taking it out of escrow if it is under appeal. But Pearse said it's OK so everything is hunky dory

Wouldn't be expecting too much from Pearse after his "alternative budget". Did occur to me as I read the rent freeze proposals that the likes of Violet Ann have enjoyed a rent freeze for some considerable time - covid or no covid

The only way it would have been spendable was for us to drop out of the appeal and let the corporation we teamed up it go it alone.

So as I said, give the two fingers to corporate tax payers who an arm of the state had said was fully compliant with Irish tax law. Demographics looking after themselves levels of stupidity.

And, as the rest of the EU believe the Irish government was in cahoots with Apple to avoid paying tax...i.e. giving the two fingers of two hands to the ordinary Irish taxpayer.

Haha, the same tax payer which has benefitted massively from the presence of Apple and the likes. Head in the sand stuff

With all the conflicting info and lies from MM and LV, Eamonn Ryan seems to be the normal one.

Yep they set up here to make a profit, they supply cartloads of jobs and in return get fudgy tax deals.

Plenty to criticise perhaps (though the thousands employed by multinationals and their families wont be joining you)

The alternative is to impose higher taxes on them, they are then gone somewhere else along with their jobs.
