Useless. Shinner on radio today said they don't support building apartments people can't afford. I can see that. FG are cool with that because it enriches private enterprise.

A Cork-based seafood company knew about impending regulations which would seek negative Covid tests from Irish truckers travelling to France a week before the Government did... ...Meanwhile, a Wexford TD has criticised the Government's lack of preparation for the move, which she warned in early January was imminent. Verona Murphy wrote to the Taoiseach on January 2 to ask what plans were in place for France imposing a Covid-19 test requirement on Irish hauliers. In an email seen by the Irish Examiner, Ms Murphy told Micheál Martin she wanted to express concerns “on the very real potential of supply chain disruption if we do not immediately introduce antigen testing at our ports"."The Taoiseach wrote back on January 8 to say that that wasn't required and that it wouldn't be happening. And here we are on January 27, and it's badly organised if organised at all,” said Ms Murphy, a former head of the Irish Road Haulage Association.

He shouldn't go but I can see nothing new in the press to suggest he is or isn't going, just an article from 15th of Jan which says the virus will dictate if he does go. Maybe you have seen something else? US companies don't care about the St Patrick day shindig, they do care if we change our corporate tax.

The optics would be terrible, but Michaels ego would survive despite the ding in it.

It's not like anyone suggested it be sliced finely, added to a saucepan with sliced carrots, onions, and celery (while dubbed with a fancy French term -mirepoix) and then gently sweated to be used as the base for soup. The Welsh must be furious at this insult to them and their national leeks. Seriously, of all the things to get worked up about at the moment I have to say that strikes me as not even in the ballpark.

Imagine the country we could have if we stopped electing donkeys? Decades of donkeys.

Has the electorate voted for TDs based on their party/surname? Check. Did the electorate vote for Haughey, Ahern, Burke, Lowry, etc etc? Check. Has the electorate continued to vote for the parties who oversaw Magdalene Laundries, Industrial Schools, Mother and Baby Homes, spiralling homelessness, Healthcare crises, the Banking crash, etc etc etc? Check. The evidence would suggest there exists a significant cogitative deficiency in a section of the electorate but go ahead and get insulted on their collective behalf if you wish, beats being insulted on behalf of a mutant clover.
