Simon Harris, the TikTok Taoiseach

Care to offer some proof of that statement?

I mean surely the Dept of Justice must have a handle on these sorts of things and some stats on this. 🙄

Actually here is interesting question I thought of.

How can someone with no identifying documents leave the state?

Surely the only way is to go Britain via NI.

Wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see her get back in, happens all the time all over Ireland, the local politician or family steeped in politics or simply being the incumbent TD in the constituency has held a lot of sway at the ballot box over the years.

You would have to imagine though that if she does get back in, her days as a high profile minister are well and truly done.

Absolutely which is why I feel so disillusioned with politics in Ireland right now. But on McEntee it seems like Harris wanted rid of her during his cabinent re-shuffle and was convinced otherwise, now I am not a big fan of Harris but he is savy and I cant see him retaining her as a minister of note if FG are in power after the next GE.

I said "IF" FG are in power implying "IF" Harris is leader. They either will be in power or they wont, hence "IF".

I also said that I am not a fan of his and to be honest was not the right choice for Taoiseach but here we are, but loathe him or love him you have to have some political saviness to get to where he has gotten.

So take your stand up comedy gigs and grow up.

100% but can see where he kept her on amid pressure from his own party, which has backfired fairly spectaculalry in the past few days. All I'm saying is that I don't think he would stand by her again if push came to shove. I probably worded my original post wrong, I personally don't view Harris as a shining political light or inspirational leader just that anyone in that position will have some savy with regards what actions they need to take, essentially that he wont make the same mistake again.

I dont believe I have dismissed anyones opinion. Who knows who will be in power, 6 - 12 months ago I would have said Sinn Feinn, now I'm not so sure, if SF and FF can come to an arrangement then maybe them. But FF seem so lost that I can see them remaining with FG and the current government will stay in place, with Independents or some smaller party taking the place of the Greens.

And such is my utter disillusionment with what is on offer in the Dail that I dont have confidence in any of those arrangements.

I think enough people will misguidedly vote for sf in next general election.

I think fg is toxic and the simpleton from Greystones will be shown up to be exactly what he is, useless.

The next government will be cobbled together with possibly sf and multiple parties and not last very long probably due to economic reasons and sf fianlly shown up as spoofers.

And there are two possibilities that will come to pass, either fg or ff go right or a new right wing party arrives on the scene.

We are creating a time bomb both economically and socially with the asylum and refugees that have and are continuing to arrive.

Sooner or later there will be blowout, either due to major security issue or more likely simple fact a downturn will quickly show we can't afford the costs and the Irish taxpayers finally revolt.

I believe a lot of Europe is going to go quite right wing as there is no way most people are going to continously stomach more and more migrants arriving.

And Ireland is not some unique fairyland as shown by construction bubble.

In fact we will probably be one of the worst.

If we're lucky.

Waiting at a person’s car indicates how well a state in run ….

Well done SF, seems SF and DUP agree on Mr Harris anyway

You are right
