As I said , it's a real slap in the face to those who have been on the frontline working so hard that he doses off less than two weeks into a new position in government. And what about those on minimum wage affected by the debate underway. There's no excuse. None.

I suppose at least he turned up and didn't get some junior to vote for him. Tax payer money well spent, just give the fabled money tree a shake.

It’s not unreasonable for a minister and elected representative and leader to fûcking turn up and do their job, as elected to do so, by US... with application and interest while in the state of being fully conscious and awake... It’s a poor reflection of our political representatives especially the one we are talking about whom not only has had trust, hopes and expectations placed on him by the electorate but has decided to be disinterested enough to fall asleep at the wheel. The absolute fücking eejit....

If this government was a drink, it would be one of those mixes from your parents drinks cabinet put into a plastic bottle consisting of various horrible sh*t you wouldn't really want in the first place...and it never ends well. What are we, 3 weeks in? Stock response here and elsewhere has been some digs at opposition and 'sure its no big deal' Cowen included...from what I can see the opposition have very little to do opposing this mess, who nobody voted for, and don't get started on 'but we did vote for it'. I'd love to see a single person admit to voting for a Green, FG, FF coalition and give reasons why.
