    Timing not great though. One gaff after another for the Greens and this government currently.

    Oh I agree with you, but honestly who cares if he had a nap or not. It's not a job that would keep you awake most of the time anyway, judging by the scintillating unscripted and interesting debates that go on there!

    Is it just me, but the minute FF got their TS and the Greens got their ministries, it has all gone to pot.

    Well there's one thing, Ryan wasn't a cute hoor re the provo licensing, the speeding fines, the Pulse info and so on.

    MM needs to up his game. He's far to nice.

    FFS, how much does he get paid. Is it really to much to expect him to at least stay awake for his money.

    It’s a long day and has been a long day for quite a while. We have no idea if he was actually very tired maybe he had a family crisis or maybe he was unwell.
    If you were at work and you were overwhelmed with tiredness I know you would expect to be cut some slack.
    I wish people would stop escalating to outrage over every little thing. It’s getting very very boring.

    Was that a roll call like in primary school? At the start of the day so not like half way through a waffly debate - which is bad.

    Or was it a vote - which is also bad :D

    I suppose it's a good job he's not a bus driver. Him and Cowan.

    Fighting to stay awake was all he was doing.

    Is OK as it was just a motion on lower paid jobs and employment rights. Nothing he would have the slightest interest in

    Not sure anyone is asking for him to be sacked?

    I’m not that interested in Irish politics any more. There isn’t even any difference any more in the policies of FF and FG, and the Labour Party are kaput and the Greens will be back to being nobodies at the next election. So it’s not as if I’m a fan of Ryan. He’s a daft old hippy in fact.
    But the propensity of onlookers to blow things out of all proportion is getting ridiculous now.

    And if you were sacked for falling asleep you’d have a very good case for unfair dismissal.

    Its a poor reflection on Eamon Ryan but on a side note to this he should get a sleep study done. Falling asleep during the day like this at work or while watching tv might indicate he is suffering sleep apnea during his bedtime hours.
    He looks overweight which plays into this and the falling asleep at his workplace has probably happened on several occasions but was only captured recently.

    When I was a nipper and worked for a while in the CS, there was a "sick room" on nearly every floor. Hangovers were often slept off there. Once the boss knew where you were, all good. This is true.

    Not saying Ryan was hungover BTW.

    Absolutely not. It would be gross negligence.

    Woke so he can vote down a livable wage for low income workers who ironically would be sacked or reprimanded for falling asleep on the job.

    You are blowing things out of proportion I think.

    That's gas, and it brings me back to a time when things weren't always so strict and Health and Safety and clocking in and out and all that.

    Nostalgia always works in the rear view mirror.

    Cool the dramatics, good one buddy. Very inventive. Just making an observation that this might be a cause of him falling asleep

    Jesus everything is an outrage and a sackable offence now. Dozed off while they were droning on and on there. The Dail must be one of the most boring parliaments in the world.
    The House of Commons is like feeding time at the zoo more or less all the time but JRM still managed to put the feet up and have a snooze. What about it?

    It's not an outrage or a sackable offense, but if a waster was going into a turas nua meeting and fell asleep, it's almost expected, a senior politician and party leader should put in a bit of effort.

    Just a really odd accusation to make.

    So you are saying that he was smoking weed before going into the Dail & thats why he fell asleep?

    I guess a stooge just needs cast his vote. There was a time it was thought the Green's might keep FF/FG honest. Laughable I know.

    God forbid that we should expect our very handsomely paid politicians to at least be conscious in work.
