There was no vote for change, because the two main parties look like they will be in government.

SF couldn’t have made a bigger mess of things since the election. Hilarious to watch!

But you must recognise the big change in circumstances since the election!
Really unwittingly FG have found themselves at the head of probably by a mile the biggest crisis we as a country have ever faced, and they faced it, they didn't head for cover and wait till the dust settled.
Now they and FF have cobbled together a paper ideal, which probably isnt worth the paper it's written on, but they have cobbled something they at least agree on and if they get backing a possible Govt.
SF have had more time than FG to work out a strategy that could see them form a Govt with others but they haven't come up with anything.
Just the usual, no it's not what's needed, we need change, people voted for change.
I call bull**** on SF on this, let them get their arses in gear and counter this with something concrete and create the change

Actually FG had announced they relished going into opposition and knocked back FF twice....before their hand was forced to remain on longer than would likely have been the case. They faced it, so what? If Dublin Bus was in charge they would have too. You make it sound like it was 'High Noon' and Varadkar Gary Cooper ffs.
SF, SD, Greens, Labour etc. etc. etc. DID NOT AND DO NOT HAVE THE NUMBERS.

The change I believe people are talking about is the fact that the two civil war parties combined don't have the numbers either.

See above. And if you want 'whiney', plenty of FG posters and politicians to look to

'We relish going into opposition' = 'I'm taking me ball an' I'm going home'.

For me its the followers that put me off plus the spin and social media aspect.

I wonder at what level they as a party are responsible for their supporters? some of the social media profile of some supporters is real loony stuff combined with a conspiracy about everything, full of who owns what in Ireland, who is related to who all of it incorrect. There was a sociologist who did research in to the anti vaxers and guess what they were more likely to vote SF.

So how much responsibility has any political party for the views of its supporters? and more importantly, why do they coalesce around SF?

They are in government.
They are trying to form another government.
They are handling the crisis.

What are SF doing? Sweet F all. Well apart from the usual whining.

Some aspects they've done ok, others not so much. 77 deaths today is on par with Italy's highest death toll in a single day.

Then there's the nursing home situation.

Don't take my word for that though.

I think they have done okay and have made made decisions that was better than a lot of other governments but it was mostly down to the experts in the background.Bad decision from Holohan on the nursing homes when they should have been locked down to visitors.

It is nothing short of what you would expect from FF sleeveens to go around behind the scenes of a pandemic to try and get themselves into government and no one should even be talking to the corrupt power hungry scumbags while this is ongoing.

Owen o Callaghan and the rest of them must be demanding their pound of flesh to be stripped again of the Irish tax payer to repay the money that was given to the likes of Michael Martin and the rest in FF for their private accounts.

They have made a total 'dogs dinner' of the crisis and as each day goes by we are seeing more proof of this. An absolute shambles.




P.S. For the record i'm not a 'shinner' and agree that they have been equally useless in this crisis.

The 77 was that not an accumulation of deaths over the past few days but when the autopsy and test just come through on that day they are counted as deaths that day ?

Pretty sure it was deaths in one day, must check it again, but if so, then yeah puts us right on par with Italy's highest death toll in a day.

If I read it wrong, I'll gladly come back and rectify it.

https://www.rte.ie/news/2020/0420/1132711-irish-covid-figures/

Reads to me like it's 77 alright.

The Department of Health has announced that a further 77 people who had been diagnosed with Covid-19 have died, bringing the overall death toll in Ireland to 687.

Of course it was. But that wouldn’t go with the agenda. It said on the news that those deaths occurred over a number of days.

Sad that some are wishing for numbers bigger than they are. Actually, not sad, pathetic.

You're only fooling yourself.

A further 77 people have died from coronavirus - a grim new record - and there are 401 more cases, it has emerged this evening

Stick to the smily emoticons, facts and figures don't suit obviously.

Tbf I'd say the Italian ones were never for just the given day they were released either.
At today's figures our death toll today is about a 1 in 75000 ratio, at 919 italys would be 1 in 65000 ratio.
Not a big difference.

Where did it say this btw?

Did you actually read the RTE article?

What do you think this means?

Today the largest number of deaths have been reported by the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) in a single day during the coronavirus emergency

.

Which firmly puts us on par with Italy's highest death toll in a single day.

Did you actually read the RTÉ article:

‘It's important to be aware that these deaths may have occurred over recent days and are not reported in real time. They did not occur in a day. ‘

I deleted the post because someone else had posted the same thing so didn't see the need for a duplicate post.
