    Government tells people two weeks ago it's grand to do stuff.... Two weeks later covid explodes again...those damn citizens!

    I know you think people need the government to hold their handle from cradle to the grave..

    But in the real world most people know that's not the case.

    Trying to keep people in jobs.

    All you care about is political point scoring.

    People's livelihoods are nothing to you, once you can get a dig at Leo.

    You're obsessed pal.

    And how will there jobs be in full level 5? A stitch in time saves nine. In October leo Varadkar defied a 4 week lockdown. Then when it spiraled out of control a 6 week lockdown was needed. So an extra too weeks because of delay.

    Oh right.

    So if it was a 4 week lockdown we would be back in this new lockdown 2 weeks ago.

    Is that right according to your logic????

    How is managing an unprecedented public health crisis holding hands? Back in April the likes of yourself old us Government managed the pandemic well. Then when it turns sour it's people's fault. Dopey aul logic.

    Whenever NPHET recommended. Then the lockdown period would be shorter.

    Well if some people still don't understand what they shouldnt be doing 9 months later then yes, they actually do need their hands held.

    Thankfully most people don't but there is always those few poor souls that do.

    Was that before or after you told us Boris was making us look bad? Please stop making a fool of yourself, it's painful to watch.

    Have you contacted the party you voted for to see why they also went against NPHET advice? Maybe get back to us when you have done that.

    Depends. When do they have the mass rollout of vaccine planned? 20k a week planned? There'll be a few lockdowns if that's the snail's pace.

    Why would I contact opposition? Illogical response.
    He's flying on the vaccine you'd have to admit. 600k done as of today with the Oxford vaccine soon. How many did we do? Are the numbers public?

    Anymore of the FG thug calling to the door of the pensioner in the middle of the night? If that was SF we'd still be bored of updates at this stage.

    You might contact the people you voted for, to see why they wanted to go against NPHET advice also. Seems you are quite agitated about that.

    WTF has that got to do with gevernments responsibilities and twice ignoring expert advice only you, yet again, defending them by deflecting?

    Just pointing out that the party he and you voted for also went against NPHET advice. Seems like hypocrisy making a big deal of one and not the other. Although he may be equally angry with SF, just hasn't said.

    That party do not have the responsibility of government. It isn't some schoolyard competition.

    But if SF where in government they would have done the same as FG which you're been critical of:)

    SF and FG hold the same opinion on something.

    Hypothetical it is certainly not.

    Bit embarrassing for you lads, yes it is:)

    Nope. SF backed NPHET. Leo attacked Tony Holohan on tv. Made a show of himself. Leo always delivers.

    If SF do the same thing they would be criticised. But they aren't in government.

    Are you suggesting we should have put road blocks on the M1 and brought everyone driving down to a hotel for 2 weeks?

    I'm suggesting we do everything possible. Not leaving flights in from italy's most effected regions . Not leaving farm workers in during the peak of the pandemic. Leaving plane loads of american tourists in. Those sort of basic things. Also did the Taoiseach not push Borris Johnson for a whole ireland response during the pandemic? Cause if not that's highly irresponsible.

    You are correct that it isn’t some schoolyard competition, it is a lot more serious than that with people dying and we have seen in the North how SF in government can make things an awful lot worse in that respect.

    We can compare our government to that one and breathe a sigh of relief we weren’t burdened with that incompetence.

    Not fit for government Blanch, certainly with folk like Callinan, Stanley, and others involved you are correct.

    With people being edicted to attend ‘events’ and told how to dress as reported, one could be forgiven for thinking there is an element of Stalinesque politik about the party.

    Especially with faceless shadowy figures reportedly pulling the strings in the background.
