    It was nice of our leader to repeat what he already told the mirror.. what a waste of time.

    €20 million made available for mental health supports for 5 million people. €4 each. You can only laugh.

    Meanwhile, to date, €5.2 billion has been spent on PUP, and rising.

    Are we supposed to be grateful?

    Overall a good speech

    Streets ahead of “influencer” Leo with his cringe worthy movie quotes.

    Do they usually announce All Island death counts during these addresses? He included Northern Ireland deaths to bring the toll to 6,500

    "two weeks to flatten the curve"

    The next six weeks are CRUCIAL.

    Just like the six weeks before that.

    And before that.

    No detail. No Information. No genuine hope. No timeline. Terrible leadership. Terrible government. Repeat the same message endlessly.

    Does he really think at this stage, that we're all still terrified of this virus. Couldn't be further from the truth.

    We are apparently all frustrated- not by restrictions but from not getting our vaccines.
    I couldn't give a f^^k from a health point of view if I don't get a vaccine. I'll get one because it allows me to travel without having to get PCR tests and quarantine.

    I'm of the same view.

    We are being governed by people who are willing to destroy our economy for a virus that will be very mild for the next 6 months, they are a danger to the people...

    This is absolutely ridiculous. If you have young kids for their sake you need to get out and protest.

    He is incompetent to the highest degree. Who the hell voted for him after what Fianna Fail did to the country 10 years ago?

    Leo makes a few blunders, but I feel a lot better when he's at the helm. Much better communication style, and at least tries to be honest at times. This Martin guy is not up to the job whatsoever. Then throw in Donnelly. No health or ministerial background, but let's make him Minister For Health during a pandemic. Then let's hire two journalists to be his special advisors. Seriously, it's absolutely baffling.

    Calm down it's just two weeks to flatten the curve.

    A year ago I almost got banned on here for saying it's going to last for years. Give these muppets any power and they'll never give it back. If anyone still believes this is about a virus they haven't been paying attention.

    Taoiseach offer hope through the vaccine and the news banner below him telling us that Astra Zenical can only supply 50 per cent of the contract for the second quarter.

    Spineless 'leader'.

    Blame the variant.

    You the public need to get these numbers down.

    No plan, no strategy, load of nonsense.

    Literally nothing in that we didn't know already. Zero leadership.

    I can't believe they didn't even give some sort of a timetable to aim for. Even if it ended up being a week or two out when we get closer to the time, at least we would have something to look at.

    Nothing. Just review again on April 5th. Give us something to cling to please

    We're on a fûckin island. How anyone in power can fûck up this bad is beyond me. If you're to point fingers, point them at the lads in government.

    You're not gonna get a YEAR of your life back.
