If a party wants to play politics from the sidelines and doesn't want to govern, they need to stop running for office and clogging up the system. This is probably the biggest crisis the country has faced since WW2, and every party needs to put aside their manifestos and political games. Once it's over, back to the business as usual.
He noted that 11 members of the Seanad must be nominated by the Taoiseach and the Upper House can’t meet until they are in place. Leo Varadkar does not have the power to nominate them in his capacity as acting Taoiseach. If the Seanad cannot sit, no new laws can be passed – potentially leaving the Oireachtas paralysed amid the COVID-19 outbreak. “This obviously gives rise to a very serious Constitutional problem,” wrote Deputy Ó Fearghaíl. “From midnight next Sunday 29th March 2020, the Houses of the Oireachtas will not be able to pass legislation. “Given the profound implications of this, I am sure that the Taoiseach, party and group leaders will want to address this serious legislative incapacity at the earliest possible opportunity.”

March 9th with just 3 more cases confirmed...Leo finally cancels parade. Speaks for itself really. Same as now...the country en masse wants a lockdown..is willing to lock down...but the government dither again. Seems to be a major problem emerging with testing too. The PR charade is beginning to unravel.
