So you are really following a political agenda, you are saying that HSE and front line staff are not doing there best.
Are you upset with what front line staff had to cope Friday night some former so called retired freedom fighters putting gardai lives at risk. That is treason.
Saying that HSE staff are not doing there best is treason IMO as well It was you choose the word

It’s not all bad news as Ireland was one of 10 countries where life satisfaction rose by 5% or more.
In general, Irish people are more satisfied with their lives than the OECD average. When asked to rate their general satisfaction with life on a scale from 0 to 10, Irish people gave it a 7.0 grade on average, higher than the OECD average of 6.5.

Althought I do find it funny that people are now praising the IMF/EU for the economic policies 'they' imposed in Ireland which included Austerity, something SF et al have been fighting against all the time. Now, its grand! All forgiven. lol So it was a rising tide lifts all boats, then it was the IMF/EU that did all the work, and during this time SF spent its time being as anti-EU as UKIP! :D

Did they get that expensive printer into the Dail yet? Gas that FG bots are already trying to create some revisionist history.
Snow Garden wrote: » Name those good government policies please. Not the IMF/FF policies that FG carried on willingly despite the 'Not another red cent' and 'Frankfurt way' rhetoric...Enda did nothing new, zero. He froze and the EU made a laughing stock of him. The IMF, the people of Ireland and a lot of foreign multinationals got Ireland out of the last recession. FG were massively wasteful during that same period (e.g. despite their promises they created the biggest superquango of them all).The FG government did succeed in creating a massive national debt by not taking hard decisions (welfare state, shoite/wasteful/incompetent public services, corruption). That will come back to bite us when the budget deficit hits 20 billion+ this year. Did they get that expensive printer into the Dail yet? Gas that FG bots are already trying to create some revisionist history. You want a reminder of all the great FG policies since 2011?? I'll be your huckleberry..

Sure, if a rising tide lifted all boats, why were places like Greece and Italy (pre-Covid19) struggling economically? Germany was on the cusp of a recession before the virus hit. Rising tide lifts all boats, yet Irelands boat seemed be have been lifted way above anyone else in the EU..... Nothing at all to do with good government policy. Pure luck probably.
