Do you want thousands of people working, earning good salaries, paying millions into the government coffers, living the good life, mortgages, etc., or do you want the same thousands of people dependent on state handouts in the form of Dole? Simples.

Not sure of the intricacies of how they will replace that lost tax income but it involves shouting "FAIRNESS" repeatedly. Step 2 is to increase tax on those earning over €140,000. The fact that some of these are working in the companies mentioned above seems to have been missed, but something again about fairness.

Hire dozens of advisors. 5. Ignore warnings or high risk sectors. Resulting in hundreds of deaths. "We view it as a failure by the minister that we have to keep endlessly pursuing him as this crisis escalates hour-by-hour, day-by-day,” said Nursing Home Ireland chief executive, Tadhg Daly. “Given the large cohort of people in the nursing home sector, it beggars belief that he (Mr Harris) has not even picked up the phone to ring us. “We have sent at least five letters and emails over the last four weeks requesting engagement directly with Mr Harris but what we got is the standard civil service reply - that the matter was receiving attention."https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-30990134.html%3ftype=amp

You meant the Dail didn't sit? 4. Of course advisors are needed, populist nonsense to suggest otherwise. 5. Mistakes were made unfortunately. At least they were not stupid enough to think Boris Johnson was making them look bad (you might remember that gem you came out with).
