    But here you are like clockwork.

    Lets compare post numbers in the last 72 hours Francie, shall we?

    I log onto boards for a few minutes a day at a time, then at night when my day is done.

    You on the other hand, well.

    No in a world wide pandemic, there are teething issues

    Typical vacuous smurgen moan again, containing no useful information, just dour negative comment

    The numbers appear to be massaged or mixed up or your FG experts are not telling the truth it seems at a time when it's critical to tell the truth. As a fine Gael fanboy that may be fine for you but there's alot more people that fine Gael fanboys with skin in the game here unfortunately.

    I'm here to debate. I can manage a full life with the tech that is available. Have you heard of smart phones, laptops and tablets at all?

    I have the same amount of posts on a completely non political forum too, but that may make you have a nervous breakdown. :)

    I also post regularly on FB and Twitter...horrors :)

    I do like the way you patrol the thread of an evening handing out admonishments like a cop on the beat. :)

    Yeah ,they didn't know the answer but feel they're doing their level best to keep up with demand and obviously don't think people from weeks ago who self isolated and didnt end up in hospital are priority enough at this stage versus current symptomatic cases and frontline staff
    Seems reasonable to me

    FG will go down doing what they've always done for the Republic - making this one of the best countries in the world to live in. A social/christian democracy that we all aspire to live in.

    It's the innate decency of FG that annoys so many people.

    Year on year record breaking numbers of child homeless. A housing, homeless and health crisis. These are not acceptable to decent people in, and I agree here, a country capable of being one of the best countries in the world to live in, but for a majority not a few.

    And yes we'll be left with what FG do best, tax payer funding the profits of private business while the majority suffer austerity all in the name of their two tier economy.
    The tax payer giving monies to business so they can re-hire workers they let go essentially having the tax paying worker paying their own wages to protect private profits.

    After the financial crises 'looking after our own' 'inappropriate behaviour' and record breaking social crises, not to mention the electorate moving away in the last election, I can't see the public merrily going back to the basterdised FG idea of running a country and their lackeys FF in the shadows or vice versa.

    I hope FF/FG officially team up so the civil war party farce ends.

    At least you acknowledge they will go down. FYP for much the rest.


    Any word from Eoghan Murphy?
    I hear Airbnb are seeking to provide free housing to 100,000 healthcare workers around the world.
    It would be good to hear his opinion on it seeing as we're all doing our bit.

    It does also say that many hosts have decided to start renting their properties in Ireland too, as the profits of airbnb nosedived.

    Right, there's no such thing as a better way to approach critical problems with evidence and a will to improved things , just doctrinaire FG bs for all time. Suggest an alternative and you're communist.

    The FG contributions in this thread and others, and in the party in general, boils down to this.

    We're the clever boys and girls. Ignore the car crash policies and outcomes, we're the best.

    Painful.

    I was under impression sf proposed tax increase of 4 billion a year and circa 20billion extra expense over 5 years


    It may been very optimistic,but the math do line up from my (admittedely limited) reading of the parties main proposals??

    Like ff propsed building 250k social houses,then claimed it was a typo and meant 50k,then claimed they read the typo wrong and meant it as 25k......all the while proposing to simply give away 100s of millions in an ssia type scheme (im hoping they stick to this...they into power next week,and il deffo take advantage of it)

    Issue with nursing homes was and is mainly in nursing homes using Agency staff. Did it slip past the notice of the HSE yes. But trying to keep twenty balls in the air is hard to do. As well it is hard to micro manage everything especially areas that are not in your direct control.

    In one nursing home it was found that more staff than residential had COVID. Management and agencies allowing staff to go from one NH to another was a recipe for disaster. But staff hygiene must not have been great and infection between staff is an indicator that protocols were not in place to manage the situation.

    We're 5th most tested out of 15 EU countries and our daily rate of deaths if multiplied by 13 is ONE THIRD that of the UK
    Yup I'd say the curve is definitely getting a battering

    I don't use boards for hobbies or interests. Of my group of friend and relatives I'm one of a few that's interested in politics. It's my place to observe and vent regarding the mismanagement I see. Driving you and the supporters of the status quo mad stops me from from driving friends and family mad. Any of my other interests I can engage in the real world.

    Back to the nursing homes great they acted swiftly to put support systems in place, you know after 100 clusters of infection have broken out as of April 6th. Real relief to those with elderly parents in there I'm sure.

    You're not driving me mad at all
    The nursing home clusters appeared and were addressed within a 2 week period which is incredibly fast
    The deaths amongst nursing home residents is very low compared to Spain and France,the former had abandoned dead bodies galore in nursing homes
    So I think your lecture on nursing home action here is very much exaggerated, like a lot of your posts

    If you want to see inaction on nursing homes and deaths in one of Europes largest wealthiest economies versus Ireland's prompt action,have a look at the 1000's dead in nursing homes in France

    Congratulations Ireland so far,keep up the good work

    Nevermind the money aspect.what in God's name would you be thinking of you'd a relative in there now? Genuinely can't get my head around it. Nursing homes and clinics supporting those with compromised immune systems like cancer clinics should have been well prepared and made a top priority.

    Courier companies temperature check their employees at start of shift yet people working in multiple nursing homes don't?
