as usual you seem to have one rule for one TD and another set of rules for another.

I, personally, had 6 weeks to read (read every word - not skim them) at the minimum 1k multipage documents and grade them. The deadlines were set in stone. 110 hours a week was the norm. Once all of that was done there were days of lengthy meetings with all colleagues in a fairly confined space. In July. No air conditioning. Windows closed so no-one could overhear. Each of those colleagues would also have been putting in the same hours as me. We would go through every single person's over all record. Sometimes there would be a vote. Everyone had a vote. No-one ever fell asleep.

If you cant take on board criticism of a politician without bringing up SF the problem lies with you. Sleepy Eamo fell asleep. At least he didnt do a Father Jack but shout 'Feck, arse, girls, 'N' word' from his slumber.

Your on this thread day and night complaining about Éamonn Ryan and same on Cowen thread but as confirmed it’s just a party bash. I suggest you google hypocrite. Are you going to answer the question? Or try and hide still.....if you don’t care what SF TD get up to and it’s one rule for them and another for the rest of Dail, that’s you opinion. At least admit it

Ryan could have been unwell He might have a family member unwell (he has an autistic child) He might have been drunk He might have been high He might have up all night working If it becomes a habit, it would be a problem. He's a 56 year old male - these things happen sometimes.

And if you think Eamonn Ryan was single handedly behind the diesel campaign you're plain wrong - the switch from petrol to diesel was being pushed throughout Europe as being more environmentally friendly - it was the perceived wisdom of the day.

Muahahaha wrote: » So you're basically saying that a government department allowed you to break the law on numerous occasions, thus leaving the said governemnt department wide open to legal action? Your claims still dont substantiate that Eamon Ryan works 110 hours a week. Just because you say you did does not mean that he did, or that any other Minister did. How would you even know that without following them around for up to 20 hours a day.

blanch152 wrote: » Civil servants don't just work 9-5, Monday to Friday. I was in breach of the OWT on numerous occasions. Working in Brussels and at international conferences, I sometimes put in even more than 110 hours. 16-hour days, seven days a week for short periods. Easily done, up for an EU co-ordination meeting at 7, preceded by emails etc., finishing up that evening around 11. Ministers work harder. For many Ministers, the only down time is Sunday afternoon for a couple of hours.

blanch152 wrote: » I can list sins of all parties and politicians, and you can rank falling asleep in the Dail then, the list I provided were just of ones that in my opinion are definitely more serious. You have posted numerous posts criticising Ryan, yet you are unable or unwilling to contextualise his "sins" compared to others. Without that contextualisation, it is only criticism for criticism's sake.
blanch152 wrote: » I explained in the post. I worked at international conferences, and in the EU. When you hear of the EU Council working through the night and the weekend, e.g. look at Martin this last weekend, do you think the civil servants rotate in shifts and get sleep? Worse than that, before the Taoiseach gets there, the civil servants have been working to prepare for the Council.

Muahahaha wrote: » So what Ministers were working 110 hours a week while you were also working 110 hours a week with them? And how exactly does that work, civil servants work Monday to Friday so you're trying to tell us that you worked 21 hours a day over 5 days? So breaking the laws of the Working Time Act which says You came out with this claim last night that Eamon Ryan is working 110 hours a week and were asked for evidence to back it up. So far all we have heard is you saying you worked 110 hours a week and therefore ALL ministers do the same. I find it very dubious that a civil servant would be working 21 hours a day in contravention of the laws of the land. And your claim is not evidence, its literally pulling figuers from out of of the sky and making stuff up to substantiate your argument.

The Organisation of Working Time Act 1997 states that the maximum average working week for many employees cannot exceed 48 hours
