FG - Neo-liberal economic policies putting private profits above the welfare of the general public, cronyism, austerity (but not for elected officials). LP - mudguard for the above. GP - ditto. SF - Animal welfare and Inkgate has me thinking closing ranks to protect the party is a too familiar story. Áontu - don't make me laugh. What I will not be doing is basing my opinion on a wee radio interview such as the one you are "discussing", I'll go by voting record in the Dáil, Private Member's Bills introduced etc etc - that kind of stuff.

Bowie wrote: » It doesn't give much detail and has little to do with refuting your claim that SF's alledged actions in another jurisdiction outweigh or are more hypocritical than what our government have been at. I suppose it'll be no accountability and more deflection from the ignorant Irish government parties in 2021. Would be in everyone's interest if they cleaned up their act and stop talking ****e.

Bishop of hope wrote: » It would seem strange and hard to believe that no weekend inoculations would take place. The only reason I can think of would perhaps be the amount of vaccines available per week at the initial stages. It seems general inoculation wot take place till May or June so supply must be the issue.

Bishop of hope wrote: » It does. "Sinn Féin's Michelle O'Neill blocked "necessary" public health information from being released across Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales one week before Christmas, despite being advised by her own government's chief medical officer and chief scientific adviser to endorse it".

Broken record stuck in a groove, with nearly every post about a single politician. As for the other jurisdiction (which you have brought up), the vetoing by Sinn Fein of a UK-wide message, against the advice of the public health experts, is a disgrace.

Thanks for bringing up Varadkar again mind.reminds me of how much of a moron he is. He's literally gone against NPHET a few times now and cannot admit the CMO has been proven right. A dangerous idiot. Lying again ; "Mr Varadkar said the Cabinet had already gone against NPHET's recommendation in the decision not to close non-essential retail, however, he said everything would be reviewed when ministers meet again on Tuesday. Noting the fact that almost 1,300 new cases were recorded last night, Mr Varadkar said: "Nobody anticipated that numbers would rise so quickly."https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40197192.html However here's NPHET's advice to government on October 5th; "Case numbers and hospitalisations are growing exponentially. The Reproductive number is now estimated at 1.2. If we fail to reduce viral transmission nationwide immediately, we could see 1,100 – 1,500 cases per day and 300-450 people in hospital by November 7th."https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/4e25b-statement-from-the-national-public-health-emergency-team-wednesday-7-october/

Now we have the abject delay on rolling out the vaccine...days behind everybody else. Disappointing but fairly predictable.
