    So I’m guessing the Fianna Fáil rounders society dinner this Saturday in Naas is off.

    Postponed until Sunday. Saturday is the FF meat factory cocktail night.

    Leo should pull the pin know before FFs antics draws them further into the mire. An election now should return a strong majority for them but the longer they continue with the mess that FF are in with MM as leader the more they become the same.

    Is Eamon Ryan asleep again or have any idea what is going on or is he waiting for himself or one of his tree huggers to put their size 12s in again?

    Ryan probably reckons "nothing to do with me".

    Never mind that he's one of the leaders of the same Government to which some of these attendees belong.

    He's probably as well off staying out of it as long as he can, let his coalition parties implosions continue as long as possible without his assistance

    There is definitely a slow burning anger beginning to emerge from this.

    Yes.. I was at a funeral were the grandkids had to wait outside the church because the limit was only enough for the immediate family...so yes these are self entitled ****in ***** . A ****in golf event ......pure ****in skum

    I understand where you are coming from. I attended funerals and the doors of the church were closed once twenty people went in, leaving grieving people standing outside. My heart ached for them.

    Oh, I don’t even think it’s slow-burning at all. I’ve seen nothing but outright fury over this from the moment the story broke. And every single one of the idiots who attended fully deserve it, in my opinion.

    Aside from the obvious breaking of restrictions it seems those who attended clearly were not worried about becoming infected. Many there would've been in the over 65 age range. What's that about?
    Maybe they know something we don't and Covid is not as dangerous as we are being told.
    I certainly would not be attending any functions like that out of fear of picking up and spreading Covid.
    I hope this point isn't forgotten in all the drama. The very people highlighting the danger of this virus to the public don't themselves seem to regard it as dangerous at all.

    Classy sign off from Sarah McInerney that was a cracking show!

    She was fantastic, as usual. That sign off was pure class. I have been a fan of Sarah since she used to appear regularly on TV3 with Vincent Brown. She was always excellent.....sometimes she very ably chaired the programme in his absence.

    Martin Brett, vice chairman of Kilkenny County Council has apologised for being there.

    It seems he’s another lad who lacks the ability to think for himself.

    Bullsh!t excuse he used, too.

    One of the biggest points for me is that a Former AG who was involved in drafting CV-19 legislation thought it was OK to attend this meeting.
    If his judgement is so seriously impaired that even when he arrived and saw 80+ people in attendance and still thought it was fine to stay, he isn't fit to be a judge. IMHO.

    Not a mask in sight either I'd bet. They've lost the people now. Leo won't call a General Election, Sinn Fein have played a blinder by doing nothing only looking and laughing.

    So people being held to account to their own rules is looney left behaviour? F*ck me.

    According to boards, I'm far right and on this occasion, I completely agree with this being an absolute ****show and the people involved should be held to account.

    So yay. I'm now a leftie

    The judge's statement said he didn't know there would be a dinner. Are we expected to believe that?
