Michael Martin talking about rent freeze. There should be more than that. There should be a big reduction in rent. The idea that people should shoulder the burden of a crisis they have no control over plus pay the same rent rate as if nothing has happened is just ugly. The notion that kicking the can down the road for renters is giving them a break is equally wrong.

Time to get this right for once and for all.

Well that might happen naturally anyway now that AirBnB has essentially collapsed.

Ah be fair she lost her seat, and is doing her best with no chance of getting into Government whenever it's formed.

Give her a break FGS, it must be hard to be motivated, but she's doing very well under the circumstances. A lesson to us all and fair dues.

No elected politician had mandate to deal with the current circumstances either.

Seen the usual SF rabble on Facebook asking why she is still in government even though she got vote out.

Democracy a how the Dáil works is really lost on them.

Its Baffling.

All has been communicated and the full details are readily available. You can't go to that level of detail in a press conference.

But you seem determined to be dissatisfied regardless of what's said or done.

Absolute bollix.

The press conference was confusing, what Leo said was confusing.

Or did I just imagine listening to his Ministers on several radio stations not able to answer pretty simple questions? :rolleyes:

True.

The comment was in relation to a suggestion of mine that any new taoiseach in a government of national unity should appoint her to the senate and keep her as minister.

Someone responded claiming that as she lost her seated she couldn't be appointed as anything.

Had a look at shops allowed to stay open and nearly all my local shops would be selling something on the allowed list.. even though the product wouldn’t be the shops main sale item... all clothes retailers in my area would sell some form of PPE and most electrical shops would supply IT items ...so it’s a lock down but not a lockdown ..even my local fishing tackle shop sells dog food so a reason for him to stay open ..

When things go good it was external factors and nothing to do with them.

Not many of the private hospitals have facilities for some acute conditions, cardiac emergency, cancer care, etc. Its going to be a square peg/round hole dilemma for planners and managers.

It's actually complete ignorance of Article 28.11.2 of the Constitution.

The members of the Government in office at the date of a dissolution of Dáil Éireann shall continue to hold office until their successors shall have been appointed.

Not sure how you're so confused. It's fairly clear.

And the colourful language doesn't change that. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Any mention of golf courses I presume they must close now

Private clubs are an interesting question, you would hope they act responsibly.

Although on one hand, if an older person only gets a bit of exercise playing 9 holes a few times a week, I'd find it hard to condemn a club for letting lads turn up and play solo for an hour so long as no clubhouse or buggies are used.

Cardiac and cancer care are the primary specialities of many private hospitals,

It may be clear to you because you don't have to make a decision to close your business tomorrow.

For the companies texting into the likes of Matt Cooper it's not one bit clear, nor was it made any much clearer.

What confused you? Specifically?

I'm trying to ascertain if you are a bit slow or deliberately churlish and obtuse.
