Simon Harris, the TikTok Taoiseach

I’d love a reporter to ask Simple Simon, if diversity is our strength, why is it being forced on us by pepper spray, baton charges and masked riot police??

Who said McEntee has done no wrong?

You need to stop jumping to assumptions and read the posts

Again the obsession with who I voted for, it gets funnier by the minute

Strangely I don't see you running around demanding from people who agree with you to reveal who they vote for, one would wonder why 😂

I can tell you one thing, I won't be voting for some overpaid county council

As I posted you have spent years on here complaining about government policy yet vote for someone who has no interest in fixing the issue you raise. Priceless is exactly how I would describe it. Best to leave it at that, you can return to slagging off TD trying to resolve issues in Ireland

Anyone who has to resort to calling Simon Harris "Simple Simon" is just telling the world they've no means, knowledge, to criticise him using facts and logic and have to instead resort to completely meaningless buzz words.

😂 Tell us this, how many times have you referenced Catherine Connolly?

My guess is actually FF even though you defend the whole government.

Interesting few weeks ahead

Very much so. Stevie Wonder could see that this government has lost the room. The scenes in Newtown were disgraceful and the local population isn’t backing down. Incidents of this nature will be replicated across the entire country as long as this disgraceful and inept government fails to control our borders and attempts to shoehorn illegal immigrants into communities where they are neither welcome nor wanted.

McEntee’s performance when subjected to some basic precision questioning, was astoundingly incompetent if utterly predictable. O’Gorman, who was the catalyst for much of the current mess, has gone into hiding. Frankly, this administration has been catastrophic and Harris is and will remain an ineffectual leader. The hiding they will receive in the local, European, and general elections would be entertaining to behold, if their policies hadn’t lead our beautiful country down the very dark path we are currently traversing.

Oh do spare us the melodramatic tripe.

But "the situation we are in" for the majority of the population is a good one, especially if you are old enough to remember before the Celtic Tiger.

If you think this is bad then you should have been around then.

We have issues, all countries have issues but immigration has blown up, to be fair when I log onto TikTok you have people flocking to the area in question to cause issues, I seen one from "Irish Wolfhounds" the other day saying they would be in Newtown in an hour…..Im not saying local are not out but it's funny how all the online accounts which are most vocals always seem to be at these stand off's with the Garda ready to get coverage

Local councillors will get voted in anyway because of the work they have done in the community, some won't vote for them because of party policy but others will vote for the person. Our poor FF councillor died but he would have been voted back in, not because he was FF, but because the job he done in the community.

They will have to return immigrants, simple as that. We are about to be flooded with them from the UK, it's unsustainable.

I don't see any of the main opposition by the way coming up with a plan, so who do you vote for>

I wonder will we have a more pragmatic conversation regarding immigration management now that the politicians have realised that public perception has turned and their political lives depend on actually doing something about. One can only hope

The economy has never been in better shape. Full employment. Yeah abysmal performance alright, I see what you mean 😂

I'd give all the credit there to US MNCs, the hardworking Irish people and a low corporate tax rate. I cannot think of a single recent government initiative that helped, can you?. In fact the housing crisis is hindering it and hardworking Irish people should have access to housing/rentals and a decent health service.

The only reason Ireland had a Celtic Tiger was because of the hard work of the people and the only reason we have so many working now is because of the hard work of the people. Calling people "greed" "stupidity" and "thick" 😂 bluster on the internet

In terms of "just following others over a cliff", well in reality the majority of people after the crash continued to work and got Ireland back to the position it is now, so now sure who is following over the cliff? some over spent, others didn't
