26 County General Election 2020

[five points]

Is Cowan gone?

Yes. And has engaged lawyers to ensure he gets a ministerial pension.

Goes without saying in a public body.

Maybe it is unfair dismissal he is after? He made a big tweet crying about his treatment as soon as it was announced

There's no such thing when you're a minister.

Michael Martin looked a little more Putinish  this morning. Still aways to go for him though.

If that over-entitled arrogant culchie Cowen is representative of the current Fianna Fail stock, it's no wonder they're a dying breed.
Either that or the culling of Cowan will make them stronger.

If all they have coming up through the ranks is Jack Chambers, Fianna Fail have a lot of difficult days ahead.

This Cowan boy sounds like a proper clown.

WTF was he at? He clearly is a complete eejit or had no intention of making a ministerial career. Doing a driving test takes an hour, any serious person would have attended to that before long before running for election.

The only alternative to dependence on the multinationals is to rely on SMEs, which are currently being smothered by high tax rates and unsustainable regulation. If the government response is to sacrifice rural businesses including agriculture and food production on the altar of a bogus 'climate emergency', we'll be more reliant on the multinationals than ever before. But maybe that's their plan.

The climate issue is not bogus, but the idea that is caused by Irish agriculture is.

I don't disagree but the notion that there is a climate emergency is also IMHO bogus. The fact that a real emergency has materialised in the meantime underlines that.

Micky Martin seems to have spread sweetness and light round Stormont today.
Even got the NS Ministerial back running again.
Executive looking for €€€€€a I suspect.

We had a guy at work that was found sleeping in his ute on site.
He was sacked

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

 :Why was the place so empty.

[Itchy]

He wasn't the only TD asleep either. They were voting on a motion relating to pay low paid workers. Then you get what you vote for Ireland.

[Angelo]

Quite the scandal down south.

Judging by Twitter, the electorate are absolutely seething.

Gov on very shaky ground now, one more scandal or mess up away from collapsing you would feel. It's the death knell for FF.

Was there a need to change government during the pandemic? the new lads are like the tories e.g lack leadership and prone to embarrassing moments.
