Is it just me or have SF vanished?

Yeah my local one is Gary Gannon and he’s genuinely good feet on the ground in the area and always can be contacted and responds promptly. I hope they grow but right now I don’t get it.

Same ability as our dog warden so

'Lemons' from the only poster who comes on each day to lambast those who have had the termerity to criticise Leo.

Let it roll...I guarantee you this fool will turn the electorate against him again with what can only be called 'look at me, not all hero's wear capes' stunts

Sort out working conditions and a decent living for front line staff Fine Gael...do your jobs.

I would agree, needs to be something more done for all the front line emergency workers.
Appreciation is not enough.

Leo really is doing a great job. And the shinners are frothing are the mouth. Good times

Funny how two Prime Ministers end up in a hospital.....one helping out in a time or need, the other because he didn't take the thing seriously.

Glad we have Leo as our one.

I heard Leo wore the wrong colour tie the other day.

Some people have very little going on in their lives that they need to get self-worth from constantly criticising others. Bless em'.
Isolation is a normal thing for many of those!

And some have so little going on that they appear everyday to defend regardless of what has happened.

And they invent lives for others.

I'll tell you what I am enjoying, (as somebody who is unapologetically interested in these things) is watching the FG acolytes fool themselves again.

They fool themselves that enough Irish people will not be able to separate performance during a crisis from performance in normal government.

And also codding themselves that the hard bit of this crisis is to come...this in terms of governing is the easy bit.

Francie laughing at people with so little going on that they appear here everyday...

How many posts are you up to now Francie?

What makes you think I was laughing?

I am unapologetic about my post count. Quite proud of it.

Just thinking here after a report on Morning Ireland.

There will be one interesting aspect to the incoming and now IMO imminent and necessary election: no Minister Of Health or his civilian defenders can ever again say that nothing can be done about the HSE.

Properly tasked and resourced it is something to be proud of.

What about his military defenders?

Well there does at times seem to be a militaristic bent to some of the current incumbents defenders. Especially on Twitter where many believe Simon's defenders are under orders.

You know, sometimes it's just better to admit a typo rather than add to the mistake.

Also, "on Twitter where many believe......" is not evidence of anything except the fact that twitter is a bit of a zoo - that phrase can be used to preface many equally ridiculous statements.....

• on Twitter where many believe......vaccines are harmful
• on Twitter where many believe.......the earth is flat
• on Twitter where many believe......Covid-19 is linked to 5G
• on Twitter where many believe........Gerry Adams was not a member of the IRA
• on Twitter where many believe.......SF are not under the direction of an army council

The rapidity with which you ask people to cite evidence/sources only compares to the paucity of the evidence and sources you post.

I guess what you are trying to deny here is that many suspect/believe that FG are using bots to say noice things about FGers.

Ála Leo's wishes:

Leo is doing a great job admittedly, but so was Boris before he was hospitalised. Remember that the PM only acts upon his best advice, and in the case of Covid-19, Boris takes the advice from his Chief scientific advisor, namely Sir Patrick (herd immunity) Vallance.

By the way, isn't Mary Lou out sick, or is she back?

Yes, yes, yes, many suspect and believe the earth is flat, the moon landings were faked, Elvis is alive, the Illuminati exist, the Lizard People move among us, McDonald is not beholden to anyone etc etc etc

I suspect and believe lots of thngs, but suspicion and belief are just that - and they certanly aren't evidence of anything, at least not in the rational world.

Must remember this defence when certain things are being alleged about others.

whats the cost though? All the free gaff money is will be gone and we will have a substantial debt , the measures brought and carried out by FG ensured with had the credit to borrow and now the many like me who work between 60-80 hours a week will be creamed in tax just when we thought we might see a bit of relief coming on that .

Who was giving out all these 'free gaffs'?

Whose system was it again?

Tasking and resourcing something in a time of emergency is different to tasking and resourcing it in normal times. You have massive armies during times of war but they get scaled-down during peace time. Same will happen here. How you manage the HSE during the worst pandemic crisis since 1917 is different for obvious reasons to how we would do it otherwise. During normal times the DoH and the HSE were black pit money holes that needed reform not more money from the tax payer.

Yes...but the 'nothing can be done' merchants...or worse, the 'he/she/insert political party here - is doing their best' merchants are silenced.
There are plenty of things to be 'done'. Putting the public front and centre and properly resourcing the front line staff and services would be an efficient start.
