For a second, I thought it was a different Philip Nolan 😁
Censorship? Do you understand what that means?
Boards is a discussion forum to chat with other people and give your opinion
Not pages of just people sharing tweets as if they are some sort of proof.
People use boards for the specific reason it isn’t twitter. If you want to use Twitter nobody is stopping you.
I ain’t defending anything here apart from boards doesn’t need to end up full of a pile of retweets from the latest fake twitter accounts
Philip Nolan nails the reasons why this should not be allowed to go away. Every rock needs to be lifted on this one to see what crawls out.
Should that Provost's statement not have Read....
"This is a enormous loss for Irelands Makey Uppy Positions program "
I seem to recall Trinity cared less about Public Health research, until Tony and Robert came up with the exciting new Role?
Wether it's popular or not, Public Health research is not sexy enough for educational institutions and doesn't attract much private funding for research, like for example Cancer research. Trinity were fully aware little or no funding would be achievable and knew Tony's salary would have to be funded by the DOH or State, who better to do so, but the Taxpayer, sure it's only Public Money. It was clear Tony, had he succeeded in getting this position, could have possibly been in this cosy arrangement for a minimim of 10 years, that's approximately €1.8 million x 2 if DOH were also going to hire a spare CMO.
This arrangement was utterly absurd and Ludicrous in every respect from the Outset.
As I've said repeatedly, if Trinity were happy to fund this, fine but clearly they were not and that in itself speaks volumes as to the sincerity around developing a Public Health Research program.
Would ya ever go away and address the issues raised and stop censoring.
You do know you can scroll past stuff that conveniently doesn't 'interest' you?
Again, the culture YOU defend has taken a massive hit here, hot on the heels of another failed attempt to install somebody in a comfy position at the tax payers expense.
When will these people get around to giving us the 'New politics' that we were promised?
Everyone has access to twitter. This is boards. Do you go around sharing posts from boards onto twitter?
Totally pointless just dropping in random tweets as some sort of proof. If that was the case sure why doesn't boards just shut down and refer everyone to the cess pool that is twitter.
As I said if I was interested in what someone had to post on twitter I would log onto twitter
Nothing 'random' about it BA. Entirely relevant to the events and discussion.
The culture you defend has taken a big hit, hard on the heels of the same 'culture' trying to install Zappone in a cozy number.
Ahh yes back to the dropping random tweets onto boards
If people wanted to read twitter they would just log onto twitter wouldn't they?
You never seen it, you should look it up. Point is Leo disagreed with NPHET and still they worked together daily. I never seen Leo come out and ask for Tony to resign which was the accusation fired out here.
Trinity is public/private. Over 50% of it's funding is from non-government according to google. But I know they do get lots of private funding. My company has provided funding to them before for specific projects once in the same area of interest
Those kinds of people are blood in. They can't see voting outside their party so like the hard-core of other movements they need defend tooth and nail. FF and FG stand for nothing but self preservation.
Good observation, this is a loss for a culture fostered by a toxic power swap.
Side point.
Is TCD a private institution?
I expect that the staff there consider themselves public servants?
They are subject to public-service pay deals.
They hold the electorate in contempt because they keep voting them in. Then you have to take a look at the people who dance on the head of a pin to defend them and come out with allsorts of rubbish just to deflect from their incompetence but see no problem holding others to higher account. No wonder FF and FG think they can do what they like.
Afaik his job was to be,to investigate/research irelands responce to covid
It may/may not been good (figires outta nz,suggest not),but he was v.last person who should been involved in assessing the responce
FFG have gone so far off deep-end they have taken to simply pedeling conspiracy theories as political dogma......
quite why they have such contempt of the electorate and expect this to wash ,unquestioned is beyond me....but it is kinda car crash stuff,watching it unfold😁😁😁
Rarely,if ever was there a case of a troll needing feeding😎
All you are gonna get is more 'what about themuns' deflection Brucie. Every single time this is the strategy...think Enda in the Dáil.
What TD? I never saw that. I recall the made up yarns though. Why do people feel the need to keep rehashing old well debunked lies?
Point is Leo was openly in a huff with NPHET and criticising them was rife among FG'ers. Now he's a saint.
No people didn't just complain. The media went hells bells looking for him to step down.
Most media and people on social media were dead against him a year into it.
It's there in plain black and white all over the internet.
It was on the news everyday for weeks/months
You also had a clown TD who supposedly runs/ran/went halfs controlling the country disagreeing at stages with the so called medical genius.
It's there on every media site to see.
I literally couldn't give a **** who gets a job But I know this was bollocks or he wouldn't have resigned before he got the job, what I have a problem with is the hypocrisy and the people trying to say oh nothing to see here when clearly we as the taxpayer were going to get shafted yet again.
Did he do a good job? maybe or even yes he did, still doesn't take away what happened.
🤣
People complained about lockdown, I agree but none called for him to be sacked
It didn’t help in lockdown we had clown TD shouting for the pubs to be opened and then a few weeks later telling everyone to close the pubs.
Just because they disagreed didn’t mean they wanted him to resign.
Cursing 🤦♂️ Hard person sitting behind a computer screen
There is no system that needs people who will abuse it.
It was in the news everyday for months. Calls for him to step down.
Every time he recommended more restrictions people went mad, they criticiced the government and said tony was running the country., they went against him on certain issues but now he's a medical marvel.
Why the hypocritical shite now???
If you think i'm believing nobody questioned or wanted him to resign see below.
**** off
Who wanted him to resign?
I seen plenty of carry on during covid, Open the pubs, Close the pubs. I didn;t see anyone wanting him to resign
Go back the last two years and everyone wanted him to resign. Even the government were questioning him. Leo and all.
I know nothing of him but would like to know why every FF/FG supporter is on his side all of a sudden? Genuine question.
What about the cervical cancer debacle.????
There you go. You have no clue what I know and don't know. Let's stick to the discussion. I'm not TCD faculty, he was leaving the health service either way.
Can you point to anyone saying different? There's an effort to spin the narrative here. The issue was him being gifted a job he wasn't qualified for while getting paid a CMO salary, while we also were to pay another replacement CMO salary. Maybe TCD will hire him when he retires. He's not banned from working there.
couldn't give two **** about any party but listening to this **** today is hilarious. Every person in Ireland wanted him hung, drawn and quartered during the "pandemic" now he's a medical marvel.
Nobody resigns from their new job before even starting unless something dodgy is going on.
Even I can see that. Scummy ****. (place is a kip) Pretty transparent fuckery going on, robbing bastards.
CMO Emeritus 😂😂😂
I actually think Ronan Glynn was essentially lined up to step in. I reckon the DOH would have struggled to hire some one, outside it's Grubby inner sanctum who'd essentially have to watch over their shoulders whist Tony "Stepped Aside"
Who honestly thought this arrangement was even slightly workable, Glynn could have lived with it as an insider but an outsider, absolutely not.
Yep Holohan was going to be like pope benedict and be the CMO emeritus. 😀
So is the narrative now, I was wondering what tripe would be used, that he is a loss and we will all suffer because of it? Wasn't the same said about Zappone? Holohan is a free agent now and I am sure if TCD, UCD or WHO want him then they will be prepared to meet his wage demands, at least the taxpayer won't be stuck with it. I am sure the poor women affected by cervical check won't be too happy to see him go.
If you knew anything about the health system you would know the likes of Holohan is the people we need to keep hold of.
Should be a query put in to see if any other cozy secondments have been made by Watt & Co.
That would be too normal.
Now there's a thought 😉
