Eamon Ryan had to be woken up today during a Dail session.

Farce or a serious reflection on this new minister?

He's finished as GP leader. A tired worn figure not a good look for the party. Think that will seal his fate.

What was being discussed?

Doesn't look good, but I know I've been stuck in meetings and presentations before when it's been incredibly difficult to stay awake.

It was warm today, but would it be warm in the CC where they are?

Cnut of a job, I'm surprised more don't fall asleep

enricoh

Chairs do look cosy though!

Sweet Jesus that is embarrassing for him.

In his defence, it must be a terribly boring day sitting there for hours.

tikkahunter

Thats twice now .

NIMAN

I never rated him as a politician, that'll be the end of him.

JP Liz V1

Had he any salad before his nap

Yurt2

That all-salad diet from his windowboxes has him lacking protein.

Tails142

That is hilarious, what a joke.

I'm sure there'll be a quick change of procedure to ensure this won't happen again, no more roll call...

Pssst... Ryan... Wake up!

July 23rd I think is when the Green leadership vote takes place.

When I read the thread title, naive me thought that there was a politician so dedicated to his job that he was spending even his nights in the Dail. Alas, no.

Poor_old_gill

I once fell asleep in a lecture and the lecturer f*cked me out of the hall - made an absolute show of me aswell in front of about 400 people and referenced it next time I was back.

I deserved it in fairness and I had some excuse as I was about 19 and living away from home for the first time ever

Its his ****ing job for Christ sake.

They do that all the time in the House of Lords over the pond.

I'd say he's not the only one who ever nodded off in that boring old cesspit of Dail Eireann in fairness.

Pity about them, its a well paid job being a Gov Minister the least he might do is be aware what going on.

Catherine Martin was laughing at him, an unexpected bonus for her in the leadership contest.

Voting on Lower Paid Jobs and Employment Rights Amendment 1.

Mysterypunter

Complete ****ing spoofers them politicians, the civil servants do all the work anyway, but it's absolutely no surprise, hasn't any interest, so at least he didn't pretend to have

Fred Cryton

It will endear him to the oul snoozy headed sorts who vote Green and have no concept of the real world.

Timing not great though. One gaff after another for the Greens and this government currently.

I thought it was going to say about current home renovations and him having to sleep under his desk.

FFS, how much does he get paid. Is it really to much to expect him to at least stay awake for his money.

Jesus everything is an outrage and a sackable offence now. Dozed off while they were droning on and on there. The Dail must be one of the most boring parliaments in the world.
The House of Commons is like feeding time at the zoo more or less all the time but JRM still managed to put the feet up and have a snooze. What about it?

Not sure anyone is asking for him to be sacked?

How many times have we had a thread about Eamonn Ryan with loads of “that will be end of him posts”

Good man Eamonn, keep on fighting
