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

    You would if you were employed as a mattress tester, maybe.

    Some reasons he might be falling asleep:

    He is not getting enough proper sleep, some people require quite a bit more than others.

    The ambient light/sound/air temperature are conducive to sleep.

    He has an infection/inflammatory illness, which can lead to being dozy. (Covid test required :D )

    I’m saying he has form for it that’s all

    For smoking weed and going into the Dail?

    That's quite an accusation - you should go to the papers with it if you have any proof

    Just saying I wouldn’t be surprised IF that was the case. I know him since his bike shop days btw - he used to fall asleep in the bike shop as well. He’d be known for it

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

    Works out at around €90 an hour apparently.
    Had to be woken up to vote against paying people just over €12 ph - otherwise known as the Living Wage.

    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.




    At least he went......

    Forgetting about Eamon Ryan - you seem to view smoking weed in a similar way to how devout old Catholic woman viewed out of wedlock sex back in the 60s.

    Might also just be resting on his laurels.

    Your employment contract doesn’t over rule what WRC would term your right to natural justice.

    Perhaps they thought that since Dara Murphy never bothered his hole no Cork NC TDs had to - though I note according to that article they paid back expenses which is more than can be said for Murphy.

    I also note Barry and O'Brien were 11 and 3 days short of the min attendance as they were campaigning in their constituency for Repeal. I can't speak of O'Brien but I can vouch that Barry was indeed campaigning for Repeal as I was there.
    Murphy wasn't campaigning for squat. He was double jobbing and out of the country.

    I've fallen asleep several times in work over the years, and I'm only 30. I'd assume it happens to everyone

    But if you are falling asleep at work there's something wrong somewhere, either the job isn't for you or there's stuff going on outside and coming to work is probably something you need to reconsider.

    True, but it's a lot handier for a PS worker than someone in the private sector to go for.

    In fairness to Ryan, falling asleep while the Soc Dem's Gary Gannon was indulging in some hardcore virtue signalling is fair enough - that kind of waffle would send me to sleep too. It isn't as though the motion that was being debated matters in the slightest. It's pure posturing.
