    Interesting reply from someone on the tweet you posted.

    "Seems all the people at A+E departments and waiting on trollies which Minister Harris was crucified for in the past Dail term , have had miraculous recoveries since the Covid-19 epidemic started. Amazing coincidence"

    He’s been an Irish times journalist for around 30 years.

    Do they not teach you anything before doing this?

    Nah, the money goes into the North, don’t you remember Brexit and how all the Russian money went through the DUP because of the lax regulations in the North. I am certain you told us all about that, maybe I am wrong.

    You are certain...gwan and show us where then.
    Well, the same happens with the American money for SF. After that it’s easy to get it to those who need it.

    So you have evidence then. Have you told the Revenue as is your duty?

    Weak deflection there blanch.

    Meanwhile.

    SF have never been in government.
    And
    https://twitter.com/michael_o_regan/status/1243988875531489280?s=21

    So journalist praising Simon Harris while criticising all who have gone before is somehow an indictment of the current FG government. You have a talent for picking out twitter quotes that destroy your argument.

    PS SF did not say they wouldn’t accept it, onky the PBP party did, SF just said each TD could do what they wanted. Unless you have confirmation of something elsev

    Yeah I’ve been wondering about that myself - where are all the medical card lads with sore fingers now clogging up a&e facilities?? If anything comes of this, I hope criteria for waiting or being seen in a & e is severely tightened from now on. We don’t have a trolley crisis, we have hypochondriac wasters with too much time on their hands and a free pass clogging the system up

    ‘TDs' wages have jumped to over €96,000 a year following a pay rise over the weekend.

    They will receive a 1.75 per cent pay increase that boosts their wages by over €1,600 a year in their next pay check.

    And their salaries are set to rise even closer to the €100,000 mark next year.

    Another increase that is also due under the Public Service Stability Agreement will bring their €96, 89 wages up to €98,113 on October 1 2020.’

    7k twice a year has now gone to €1,600. Wow, I am amazed that you continue to post on here after those barefaced lies.

    The " homeless" crisis keeps popping into my head.

    Totally agree with you. Safe to say sorting people like that out with “foreva homes” isn’t even in the list on the foreseeable future.

    I’m come to the conclusion you just aren’t capable of basic comprehension

    At least 30 years of FFG incompetence and ignorance dealing with health leading the HSE to be in the ****hole it currently is Harris is doing a good job with this pandemic. That was his point.

    Well if you want to judge FG on what happened in the past, I am happy to judge SF on what Gerry Adams, Martin Ferris and Dessie Ellis did in the past.

    By any measure of a reasonable person, SF come off worse in that comparison.

    So the logical conclusion from the tweet you posted is that you will be voting FG next time out, since you are quoting someone who says Simon Harris is currently doing a good job.

    As a Green voter I am disappointed that the logic of your posts points to you voting FG, but maybe you will consider giving the Greens a decent preference.

    It has woken up the management of the HSE...of that we can be sure.
    Can FG keep them 'woke' is the question. Not on their past record they can't...but who knows.

    Except you haven’t produced any independent evidence that there was a 7k increase twice a year.

    In fact, you just showed that you were a sucker for SF publicity without question. No more, no less.

    Yeah because salad and south facing windows and taxing the balls off everything that moves will get us get us outta this jam.
    The greens are in cuckoo land as is anyone voting for them. Elements of The delusional d4 set no doubt

    Stop using the world logical blanch. Fairly clear you don’t actually know what it means.

    No it’s a wake up to call to everyone else that maybe, just maybe, the HSE aren’t really the boogeyman here- maybe we really do have section of society who couldn’t give a **** what service bandwidth they use because they get it for free? I mean we’ve seen them out and about the last 2 weeks doing what they want, when they want, coughing on people etc etc. Not hard to add 2&2 here and see a bigger picture.

    The senior management of the HSE knew the problem, the issue always lay with the lower levels of management, those which neither the politicians nor the likes of Tony Holohan could micromanage.

    I have been saying that for quite some time.

    Ah right...the old 'it isn't the fault of the people responsible, it's somebody else's.'

    Excellent, I'm sure there will be a few green party supporters and those who support nobody, bailing in behind you with the same excusing.

    Sorry, what?

    Don't SF MPs take the full measure of the queen's shilling without sitting and representing their constituents in Westminster?

    Also, it's questionable whether SF TDs earn their money - they are hardly meeting the requirements of Art 16.2 of the Constitution, if, as Des Mackin says....

    “We don’t want a parliamentary party running the organisation,” the senior party officer said. “We want to stay a party of activists. It’s a totally different model. There’s nothing mysterious about it.”

    Plus there's that whole statement pledging fealty to the SF ard comhairle their TDs had to sign - their TDs sound like they are more like party apparatchiks than people's deputies!

    SF do not take MP wages in Westminster no. And in my experience they do earn their money within their constituencies. Where they work. For their constituents.

    Latest Red C poll. FG way up in the polls. SF up slightly. FF down slightly.

    Independents down a lot. Not surprising. What do they bring at a time like this. Little or nothing.
