    I dont think so. I think we may have been able to delay it landing on our shores but I dont think we would have been able to stop it.

    This is not the first time I've received a response like this. What the **** is it all about? What have sf got to do with this? Why are people putting their politics before everything?
    fg ****ed up, if it was sf, ff, the greens, anyone, then I'd be calling them out on it. Facts are that it was fg. If this upsets your political leanings I couldn't give a sh1t. We have to call out incompetence, they've been getting away with it for too long and it's costing lives.

    A quick look at your posts show what a SF cheerleader you are.

    What did they do in Northern Ireland?

    Nothing until this week.

    How many tests in Northern Ireland? No many.

    How well are Northern Ireland hospitals stocked with ventilators and protective gear - very poorly.

    Thanks fuc SinnFein/IRA are not in government in the republic of Ireland.

    You're just a fg shill. People's lives are more important than your political allegiances. They ****ed up, they can't hide behind others.

    Can you point to your posts on this a few weeks back? You must have been proposing to ban all flights and close the border then, I suppose.

    I doubt if an SF led government would have closed the border either.

    The north's first case came through Dublin! Again, if we had people in charge who were proactive instead of reactive, we would have been ahead of this and not chasing it.

    Having meetings between both states should have happened long before it did and some well thought out strategies introduced. This never happened.

    Can you explain what part of the WHO advice the Irish government failed to act on completely or delayed in implementing (with a count of days) since the first reported cases in China? Outside of the WHO, what organisations should the Irish government have been listening to?

    There's a huge list waiting to be tested, the true numbers of those affected is far higher than we have now. We're an island, a small one. This could have been controlled but we were failed by those in charge!

    We're an island of two countries. The United Kingdom control Northern Ireland.

    On an international scale, the republic of Ireland are doing very well at containment.

    I haven't posted one pro sf post!

    This is bigger than your ****ty politics. Lives are at stake. fg let us down. No amount of deflection can take away from that!

    Here's another post about sf! What is wrong with you people! People are rightfully criticising fg's inactions, this does not mean they are automatically a sf supporter.

    If you're putting party politics over the lives of Irish people then you have to have a long hard look at yourself in the mirror.

    Can you point out where the WHO advised Leo to fly over and back to America?

    This is the problem right here, we don't have any leaders and people like you are happy to excuse them. It's costing us big time. Do fg need to be handheld and mollycoddled non stop? We are a small island, this could have been controlled, that's the bottom line. No excuse can let fg off the hook.

    Two states on a tiny island, a proactive government would have took the lead on this. A reactive government was flying off to America last week, that's why we're ****ed.

    Do you know anything about the waiting list for tests?

    The SF/IRA shills have been ordered to start posting because the public have been too positive about the action taken.

    There were options. It was the loss of human life v the loss of money to the exchequer. fg chose to save the economy over saving people's lives. The result of that decision, in reality, will mean the loss of human life and the economy going to sh1t.

    Congratulations fg.

    You made it clear from the start of this thread that defending fg was your only interest. Scummy behaviour to be honest. People are dying and really sick and all you care about is some ****ty political party.

    Sad to see the government's actions being politicised and criticised. They have followed the advice of the health experts, I'd expect no more and no less from a government - the last thing I want is politicians deciding what the health advice should be, look at the US & the UK. Whatever happens from here can't be blamed on them, and I know people have been working huge hours for several weeks now to try and prepare as well we can.

    Positive about what action? Flying over and back to America in the middle of a global pandemic in which travel has cost thousands of lives?

    If they didn't follow the medical advice can you imagine the whinging now?

    Why can't a **** up be criticised? They are still at it, they aren't doing enough. People will die while you are patting an incompetent government on the back.

    People are dying all over the world.

    Why do you think Ireland should be different?

    People died today in car crashes.

    Do you want FG to ban driving?

    You are making no sense.

    I quoted your post. If you want to edit it after that's your business.

    So why shouldn't governments be criticised if they screw up? Why do you think fg are above criticism?

    They should be criticised IF they screw up.
    FG haven’t. They’ve done a brilliant job.
    They should remain for at least 6 months and see this through.
