    It was actually regarding a vote on the living wage and the right to collective bargaining but Eamo was asleep so TBF it could have been anything. I suppose at least he turned up and didn't get some junior to vote for him.

    I don't care if they're spouting nursery rhymes. As I said , it's a real slap in the face to those who have been on the frontline working so hard that he doses off less than two weeks into a new position in government. And what about those on minimum wage affected by the debate underway.

    There's no excuse. None.

    They weren't actually voting on bringing in a "living wage". It was some waffly resolution to acknowledge the value of lower paid workers.

    I'd have been asleep too.

    No he didnt. He voted against the low paid because he himself isnt affected by it.

    Yes because small business that have been shut for monthly really need to get hammered now with additional wages while everything else in the country is going in the opposite direction......

    He’s a disgrace to the Green Party and to the people who elected him. I would fall asleep in the Dail too but there’s a reason I’ll never make it my job.

    Probably why you aren't a TD and probably why he shouldn't be a TD or more to the point Minister either.

    Agreed. I have no time for Ryan, I was just responding to the suggestion there was some momentous debate happening, it was nothing of the sort.

    I’ve never fallen asleep in work. If I had though.. while sacking me would be harsh I’d expect some repercussion, a warning or ‘hand slap’. It’s not unreasonable for a minister and elected representative and leader to fûcking turn up and do their job, as elected to do so, by US... with application and interest while in the state of being fully conscious and awake...

    It’s a poor reflection of our political representatives especially the one we are talking about whom not only has had trust, hopes and expectations placed on him by the electorate but has decided to be disinterested enough to fall asleep at the wheel. The absolute fücking eejit....

    Did this actually make sense in your own head before you typed it out?

    Does it make sense to you now, reading it?

    He's a tosspot who by some freak of statistics has ended up in a very important job that will affect a lot of Irish peoples lives.

    The mainstream media, as in the ‘state broadcaster’ or in ‘some state’ broadcaster are ruthlessly quiet over the incident. Hardly surprising. Not willing to rock the boat, of their paymasters.

    I honestly think the man is a victim of circumstance's and is in grave danger of a nervous breakdown when the reality of his situation finally dawns on him.

    For his and our sake he needs to take a step back from politics and being in the public eye before he does something really dangerous.

    No worries, many of these low paid workers are on welfare too, (subsidised rent and the like). The magic money tree of the tax payer picks up the slack so these people can pay lower wages and make more profit. Grand sure.

    It's inevitable, just keep watching this sh*t show. If this government was a drink, it would be one of those mixes from your parents drinks cabinet put into a plastic bottle consisting of various horrible sh*t you wouldn't really want in the first place...and it never ends well. What are we, 3 weeks in?

    Stock response here and elsewhere has been some digs at opposition and 'sure its no big deal' Cowen included...from what I can see the opposition have very little to do opposing this mess, who nobody voted for, and don't get started on 'but we did vote for it'. I'd love to see a single person admit to voting for a Green, FG, FF coalition and give reasons why.
