FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3

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.

'Proof'?

Who fecking presented them as proof BA?

They are presented as points of discussion.

If you don't have anything to add, scroll past.

Spot on. BA has done nothing but try and deflect the discussion here when he can't defend anymore.

100% correct. It's an infantile level of debate. Throws the toys out of the pram every time the facts go against the blinkered narrative.

I posted the tweet because I agree with it BA. And I asked what the view was here.

If you have nothing to say, scroll past and stop the attempt to censor the thread. If posting a tweet with a comment is against the rules then talk to a mod.

Let's see your proof that these are 'fake' accounts BA.

What's the bets this is just another feeble attempt to deflect the thread which is dealing with issues you clearly cannot defend.

Trinity have a 150k cap on Professors. Why didn't they ask the government to pay the balance from some other budget (37k)? The Dept of Health will need all the money they can get to implement Slaintecare (if they ever do) and stop experts resigning in frustration at lack of progress.

Robert Watt is trending today 😉 I bet he thought his 81k would be long forgotten.

Whilst most people with common sense can spot a fake Twitter account , just because a post from an absolutely genuine account might contain commentary that is disagreeable doesn't turn it magically into a Fake account, there's a little silliness at play here.

I posted both tweets because they express views I hadn't thought about.

Of course I am 'swaying the discussion'. I want you to deal with the issues raised.

'Boards for boards and Twitter for Twitter' is an attempt to censor views all day long. There is NO rule on posting from other social media here as long as it is relevant to the discussion.

Now away you go, done discussing this.

Good article here in Indo.

I heard today that all public sector secondments should have a fixed term. How was this one indefinite?

Mother of God, if I was to attach the 1000's of Tweets about this Holohan Gig on here and I might add from ligitmate Twitter accounts , I'd crash the Boards site 😳
