Schools closed until February? (part 3)

Bananaleaf

She is still saying that the schools are safe.

If she keeps saying it she might start believing it

If she says schools are safe one more time I'm going to have to go to Kerry, far beyond my 5km radius, and scream very loudly.

Utterly deluded

This interviewer is not doing great. She's shrinking before Norma's teacher tone. Sarah McInerney would be better.

Norma loves the word 'indeed.'

And indeed

Anyone taking a drink every time she mentions ‘partners in education’ will need to pumped out after this interview!

Smacruairi

Has been told to keep talking about special needs, disgraceful.

We needed Vincent brown on her tonight
Tame interview

Norma looks like Marge Simpson when she made herself a posh jacket

Terrible interview on both sides

Tpcl20

She is absolutely shameless.

If only RTÉ had a competent interviewer.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

I dont take it personally but people (not you) think that teachers and SNA are robots there for their usage. This is a pandemic, a once in a lifetime occurence and if it is safer to work from home, people should.

THere are people from all professions working from home. gps only doing consults on the phone, no one calls for them to be on the pup.

There is a help thread if anyone has a questions as they are teaching and we will do the best to answer it.

And I fully agree if you read back I actually asked why the government didn’t put something in place in case schools closed again which let’s face it was always likely in the winter time. Most teachers are been left to do all the online work themselves their is no national plan if you know what I mean.

As for asking about going to the class room to stream that was hypothetical. Obviously there would be exceptions to this for vulnerable teachers etc as there is in every workplace.

I think the interviewer is doing a good job. It's obvious she ( Foley)is sticking to the script her civil servants have drilled into her.you can hear her voice raise when she's out under pressure.

You could also play this bingo game everytime she says 'schools are safe'

Think I counted 6 times just in this interview.

She was going for 7 but interviewer jumped to vaccinces!

Why doesn't the interviewer ask her if she'd be comfortable sitting in a room with 25 other people for 6 hrs

Yeah but she needed to be pushed past that. She’s so angry that she should be tipped over the edge

Norma Foley throwing teaching unions under the bus completely, claiming that they were all consulted.

She's repeating hundreds of times that she has had ongoing engagement with unions.

All three utterly deny this is the case. Up to last week the INTO say they have only met her once.

CharlieHaghy

Norma held her ground, not a hair out of place.

This absolute snake who resigned in tatters...Ex HSE HATCHET MAN..mysoginist in the extreme.

I thought the interviewer was going to throw up when Foley said we would have one million people vaccinated by June of next year.
