    Poor Fine Gael. The craythurs.

    Must be absolutely eating you up inside to see them getting credit.

    All you care about is FG and how much you hate them at this time.

    Were meant to be all in this together.

    Pathetic.

    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.

    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.

    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:

    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.

    Lot of deaths lower cases so it's hard to figure out the trend.

    New cases down, but deaths up quite a lot sadly.

    Interesting choice of words from Robin Swann (NI minister for health) just now. He was asked about deploying the army

    I think many are coming around to the idea that we have more in common that with the UK

    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.

    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.

    People going out for a jog, or queueing up to get a burger. Seriously, the only thing that is being asked of us is to stay the fcuk home. It's really not that hard to limit our interactions with people.

    Can you refrain from trying to turn yet another thread into a FG party political broadcast?


    Not the time nor the place.

    I have all ready explained, have you some underlining comprehension difficulty or are you just the big man on the internet having a pop?

    Get up the yard!

    I have heard (...form a reliable source!) the private hospitals will be used to treat the non-CV19 patients when the main/public hospitals start filling up.
    There are no "reliable sources" around here - it's speculation that may, or indeed may not, prove accurate

    You could practice driving on the M50.

    Of golf balls.

    Its an upside down version of 'democracy' whereby those that loose election keep their seats and then partake in important decision making that so dramatically effects people's lives.

    In fact, there is a vast democratic deficit occurring in Ireland just now.

    Nice try.

    This all started with a poster giving out about Regina still in her seat.

    After explained to the poster you came along and stuck your rabble anti FG oar in.

    Very ironic. You come rambling about FG then tell other people not to make it political.

    Sad man, really sad.

    What’s your solution if she is removed from the post?

    Also as a thought 10 year tax free for all front line nurses and doctors after we get over this

    There are around 7000 doctors in Ireland, about 65,000 nurses across all sectors.

    approximately 72,000 people not paying tax for 10 years would cost the state well over a billion.

    grateful for everything they do, but we simply cannot afford a gesture of that magnitude. Especially when we’ll need to pay for the fallout of this health crisis.
