    There was a full cabinet meeting this morning except ironically enough for Eamon Ryan who wasn`t physically present because of a family member having a suspected positive case of Covid-19.

    Why is that ironic?

    Where did you see that they’re isolating?

    Apologies restricting their movements, point remains where they all mixing together that they feel this is necessary?

    I'm sure the Dail has pretty good video conferencing facilities so it's not required for them to be in the same room

    [QUOTE=Dempo1;114622519]You just couldn't make this up, it's beyond astonishing and I suspect soon after this shambles of a road map was coming under intense scrutiny, Leo came up with a Cunning plan, let's all self isolate until the dust settles.

    357 new cases, 3 deaths and the best they can come up with is level 2 and a bit for Dublin, its shocking. The road map is essentially nothing new actually it's nothing at all apert from. More incoherent nonsense.

    I dispair at what's coming, there even putting Trump to shame with the ineptitude.[/QUOTE]

    You could actually seeing as how you have just done exactly that.

    Corona virus could happen to anyone. It doesn't discriminate.

    Absolutely.

    Some of the comments in here are pathetic almost glad Donnelly could have the virus. Just because he's a brutal politician doesn't mean he deserves to be possibly fighting for his life.

    They weren’t mixing together.

    Hence they only need to restrict their movements, rather than self isolate.

    It’s exactly as it should be.

    Everything this Gov has done over the last few months has been amateurish & the FF goons have been at the forefront of most f*ck ups.

    I’ve said on other threads that they are done as a party & the polls are showing their support falling substantially- the party won’t exist in 5 years

    Bit of a stretch to say he's possibly fighting for his life.

    I'm certainly not glad he may have it and I'd imagine right now he's more worried about his political life than his actual life

    Was MM actually in the studio?
    I thought he (and the rest of the cabinet)were self-isolating no?

    Rate of growth is insane at the minute. I think it will be very hard not to end up back at the top level of restrictions.

    Just thinking there, definitely the shift in Govt and almost instantaneous deterioration in the standard of messaging a big factor to where we are now. After that is was one thing after the next.

    **** sake, so annoyed.

    Falling support, age of the party’s voters, general inadequacy as they don’t fir anywhere in the political scene, crap performance & general unimpressive current team of candidates.

    I think the majority of the public accepted that the job was going to be very tough but I think they’d have been more understanding if the messaging has been clear, consistent & logical.

    It has been none of these 3, ironically the last man in (Donnelly) has probably done more than anyone to kill off the party

    Are rising in the polls and are a beneficiary of the FF sh*tshow.

    All they need to do is sit back & watch Donnelly continue to get his head caught in the bannister of the stairs while Martin stumbles over his words

    This is it. The Irish government is going to fall apart. Dozens of TDS could be killed off. Even the taoiseach. We're ****ed as a country. Hope the pubs were worth it lads.

    So many of our politicians are in the most vulnerable age demographic. If it spread widely enough we could lose who knows how many. It's a scary time and I'm terrified tbh

    Classy I'm showing concern about the lives of our politicians and I get mocked. Do you realize what's at stake?
