General Election and Government Formation Megathread (see post #1)

I'm afraid such appointments are just the kind of thing you would come to expect from Fianna Fail to be honest, the likes of Donnelly should be nowhere near health really. I know he's a spokesperson on Health for FF previously but what is his background in health? We know Harris was a health activist for many years from a teenager but Donnelly just screams career politician who care about themselves first and foremost.

Fianna Fail hasn't changed and those who voted for them should be ashamed of themselves, although looking at the polls since the election it seems some have already realised that. Unfortunately for the rest of us who would like to have politicians who are not spoofers and careerists running departments, we're stuck with them for a while. But at least it's not a coalition where FF are the largest party by far with some smaller ones who have little influence.

The fact that someone like MM, after all his involvement with the previous FF governments is running this country now makes me feel physically sick. Any hope that I had that he had learnt something during his time in opposition quickly evaporated when I read the ridiculous tweet about Liverpool winning the English Premier League. It showed that just like FF when they were in government last, they have no principles and are happy to jump on any bandwagon to help the party out.

That being said, I think that all of the other possible outcomes after the election were worse. I just hope that FG and the Green Party's presence is enough to water down FF to an extent where they are less harmful to the progress that our great country has made since they were kicked out of office.
