They think their stupid unqualified opinions are just as valid as industry professionals, senior public servants, senior doctors etc. It's insane. It's irritating enough at the best of times, but sure we live in a democracy and we have to listen to even the dullards. But holy **** does a crisis like this bring the whole thing into stark relief.

Medical device production is not a generic activity - production is not interchangeable. And the company she references - Randox - don't do medical devices, afaik.

You spend all day every day on here spouting irrelevant nonsense from the sidelines, second guessing people who actually matter and looking to score your little victories which count for nothing anywhere except in your own head. Sinn Fein in a nutshell.
Deputy Tully is urging the government to liaise with the many medical device companies with facilities here in Ireland to produce domestic kits to increase testing capacity here.

There are actual qualified people actively managing the situation. Jesus lads you are fairly dense. Bunch of Walter Mittys.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Well I certainly wasn't in denial that there were major issues with testing. People who were having major issues were claimed 'not to exist' and as 'idiots' for looking for a test.

They have a choice. And I will say again, categorically, that you claiming I said 'NPHET stated that the government did not accept their advise' is an out and out blatant lie. Please withdraw it.

Own it
'This morning the NPHET met and has recommended some new actions to help us slow the virus. We have accepted its advice and it will be published today in accordance with standard practice'.
FrancieBrady wrote: » What in god's name are you on about. I was saying that NPHET advise the government and the government decide to act on that advise. They can also decide not to act on it. I NEVER mentioned anybody else and I NEVER claimed that 'NPHET stated that the government had failed to act on their advice' You are lying through your teeth.
