Leo said they do brief the opposition but then admitted when questioned further that the last time was many months ago. It was December! Listen back. He was flapping.

I think its OUTRIGHT wrong by the way that all opposition parties aren't given sight of Nphets detailed modeling and thoughts all the time I simply do not understand What does the cabinet sub committee get besides the cmo's letter ? If its only the cmo's letter,that is always published

And of course the mandatory, 'we'll look at that now' plámas. We are well over a year into this, there should be no excuses at this stage.

Consternation as ministers 'blindsided' by NPHET
However, it's an absolute minefield and the Government has provided little detail about the plan.This situation might not have been so difficult for the Government, if there had been some planning about how such a policy would be introduced. However, it does beg the question - could NPHET not have tipped-off the Health Minister that a significant change in policy might possibly be required? The Chief Medical Officer and Health Minister work in the same building. However, he also said that there was an effective relationship between the public health experts and the Cabinet. But Opposition TDs believe there are significant questions about how they function together.
The old political adage that "if you are explaining, you are losing" most certainly applies here: the Government has a lot of explaining to do over the coming weeks.

As somebody who puts such great value in the 'use of language', would you mind showing me where I said YOU said it was 'safe'?

You are doing the typical thing government defenders do here, inventing/mis-representing/lying about what is being said and then arguing against/criticising the poster. There will probably be one of those defenders along shortly to give you 100% marks, so at least you have that.
I also haven't tried to silence you, so the line about you 'carrying on regardless' is strange. A bit of a persecution complex there maybe?

FrancieBrady wrote: » You also said 'it was peddled by vintners' when it is there on the HSE site. Own what you say and stop attacking me for being better informed than you. You are 'confused about the information' the very thing I was talking about.
Marine Layer wrote: » I said least dangerous..I didn't say safe.. Seriously, Francie,you are using all the language you decry government politicians for,to try and obliquely (in vain) evade Its as I've said yesterday discussion rules for thee but not for me hypocrisy, With that you're quite effectively shooting your own posts credibility right out of the water again and again and again Fascinating, only for the fact obliqueness bores me

This is the crowd who thought we were too thick to wear a mask properly. This is the crowd who don't believe in using Antigen testing as an aid. This is the crowd that won't debate or answer opposition TDs questions and again, this is the crowd who believe it's ok for a 20 something to serve you or me a meal unvaccinated but it's not okay for them to eat their own lunch in the same hotel, pub or cafe. Does that seem logical to you?
