MM best Taoiseach in years.....he has the balls to fire ministers when they mess up.

Leo on the other hand not a word about Phil hogan........sure he’s my friend...

One of the biggest points for me is that a Former AG who was involved in drafting CV-19 legislation thought it was OK to attend this meeting.
If his judgement is so seriously impaired that even when he arrived and saw 80+ people in attendance and still thought it was fine to stay, he isn't fit to be a judge. IMHO.

Not a mask in sight either I'd bet. They've lost the people now. Leo won't call a General Election, Sinn Fein have played a blinder by doing nothing only looking and laughing.

EU just rode in behind Hogan saying exactly what he said..... just shows maybe Farage is correct. time to get those dail visitor books and see when was he there.

If Hogan is found to be lying after that statement from the EU he is gone

So people being held to account to their own rules is looney left behaviour? F*ck me.

According to boards, I'm far right and on this occasion, I completely agree with this being an absolute ****show and the people involved should be held to account.

So yay. I'm now a leftie

The judge's statement said he didn't know there would be a dinner. Are we expected to believe that?

I understand where you are coming from. I attended funerals and the doors of the church were closed once twenty people went in, leaving grieving people standing outside. My heart ached for them.

My brother was diagnosed with cancer at the start of the covid ****e, we couldn't go see him in the hospital. He was sent home with no hope of recovery and we were told we cannot travel to see him (I'm 10 minutes from his house) Ma (85) is 20 minutes away, he died after 3 months and only 10 were allowed in the church, we couldn't walk behind the hearse and these pricks think it's grand to go party an celebrate 50 years of a ****in golf society after telling us we can't celebrate our brothers/sons 62 years of life. ****

This government has lost the people now. I think we'll see widespread ignoring of Covid rules now by the silent majority who've done their bit to stem the flow.

I don't think he or mm has the power to remove Hogan from his commissioner role.

The only ministers present appear to be FF. A couple of FG senators, who had whip removed, what more can leo do?

Hogan has a property in Kildare.

Didn't i read earlier someone say Alan Kelly seen Hogan in the Dail last week. If so someone is lying.

I haven't listened to Talk radio since the recession, 2009.
It led to feelings of anger and impotence and was not good for ones mental health.
Listening to the radio now and its brought all that back to the fore.
Its really making me so angry that I am finding it hard to type.

Phil Hogan can’t be fired by Leo. Or by MM. Or by anyone in our government, in fact.

Retirement party for Dara Calleary lads.

Location: Berlin, D2.
Time: five minutes to midnight.

Low key affair. Regulations will be followed. Sure just come yourself and a plus one and sure that's all you can manage. Your own little bubble.

GUBUrunch or go home, party dudes!

I have an irrational deep dislike for Hogan. Hope he gets the boot but I just cant see it happening.

Hogan apparently staying in Kildare for the past few weeks. So not only ignoring rules on gathering numbers but also ignoring Kildare lockdown rules. Unreal.

Plenty of Kildare folk have cancelled holidays, events, lost businesses & stayed away from loved ones.

And all for what?

Irish Government can't sack him unfortunately.

However it is now breaking that he's been in Kildare the last couple of weeks

Yes, but he should be severely criticized for his actions..........not a word from Leo..

Martin Brett, vice chairman of Kilkenny County Council has apologised for being there.

It seems he’s another lad who lacks the ability to think for himself.

Bullsh!t excuse he used, too.

Apologising means diddly squat. He’s too stupid to be in that job.

How the **** did any of these people think that the majority in the country would be ok with this?

Phil Hogan weathering the storm I see.

I seem to remember the leader of Sinn Fein flagrantly breaching the guidelines in public -no social distancing on show at that funeral in Belfast.
Not much moral credibility in that quarter I'm afraid.
