“We take no pleasure in having to record these figures for a decade and a half. We know the problem, but we also know the solutions. “No other developed country faces anything close to this trolley problem. It can be solved, but a strong political agenda to drive change is needed. “The INMO has written to the health and safety authorities this week to try force a change from the employers. Hospitals should be a place of safety and care – not danger.”

Highlighting how bad things had become, Kilkenny TD John McGuinness "complimented the Cabinet on its consistency on making a balls of things every week".

You're 24 hours here bashing FFG and Leo. Surely you have things to criticise other parties with seems you spend so long analysing all the politics of the day????

(True if said election happens very soon). It wasn't long when other papers reporting complete dissatisfaction amongst FF party ranks, 2 reporting 80% of FF TD'S want Meehol gone by 2022 (possible the lot of them gone by then). I've no affiliation with any Party but if there was ever an example of a party walking itself in the abyss this must be it. Fair to say a poison chalice offered and grabbed with Gusto but LEAKY Leo should have been put in his box on the first attempt at undermining the very government he help set up, too late now. Sadly their combined incompetence and Lust for power has partly led to this quite shocking Covid 19 mess.

FF polls around 11% support because its older support base is less likely to respond. With face to face polling, FF polls closer to 20%. The problem with the Covid lockdown is that face to face polling is not really possible so FF's opinion poll rating is going to be closer to 11% and that's bad for Martin. these low polls for FF will be used by those who want to get rid of him. If they succeed, and the lockdown restrictions are relaxed after that, then when F2F polling resumes, FF will appear to have more support and it will give whoever succeeds Martin a bit of a boost. That could be highly problematic for FG because the newly emboldened FF might consider its position in the FFG deal and opt for an early election. Regards...jmcc
