Weeks ago Mary Lou McDonald was calling for these measures and Varadkar and his cabinet ignored her! Now after dithering they're doing exactly what she called for!
When has it ever taken the Director of Public Prosecutions so long to make a decision when the person involved has actually admitted their crime on public television?
#leotheleak
So
@LeoVaradkar
Who dithered and delayed on all the warnings about
#COVID19
is now being hailed as a hero for making a speech quoting an english racist and saying nothing new? The mind boggles!
📢 A protestor called Ursula von der Leyen a war criminal ahead of the first debate with the lead candidates in the European elections, which took place in Maastricht on the 29th of April.
'15,000 children are dead (in Gaza), and all you do is laugh,' the protestor shouted.

A) The Dáil very rarely sits on a Saturday
B) It's holding it's sittings these days at the Conference Centre.
Not the brightest bunch, are they?

Should the Justice Minister be commenting on something that is currently with the Director of Public Prosecutions pending a decision to prosecute or not?
@bbcquestiontime
This level of interruption is completely unacceptable, no other panellist got that treatment.
For Fiona Bruce, there must be something in the bbc impartiality guidelines
Jack Chambers...no, not the little private rooms at a sperm clinic...the politician is 29 and as a junior Minister gets 124k per annum plus generous expenses! Why does he need another 16k?

If she's clever she'll now resign from the party and raise her profile in Dublin Central as an independent! From 1982 to 2020 that constituency returned an independent TD!!
Coveney was closely linked to almost every corruption scandal that hit this government over the last four years! Zappone, Paul Hyde/An Bord Pleanala among others!
Before he got pushed.
Simon Coveney to step down from Cabinet
The Enterprise Minister confirmed he spoke with Simon Harris last night and informed him of his decision

Coveney: 'I'm not crazy - I will end homeless families living in hostels'

I've always considered Tubridy to be a talentless establishment puppet! I'd rather watch paint dry than watch his version of the Late Late Show!
@CMacCoille
The song is being sung by members of the Limerick Hurling squad and their supporters! The fact you use that to make an attack on Sinn Féin says a lot about you and your impartiality.
@ActingTheGom
There are other people all over Dublin holding cardboard signs saying "homeless and hungry" but these privileged Ministers choose to ignore them completely!
Isn't it very coincidental that just as Katherine Zappone is selling her house in Dublin that she gets appointed to a role in New York which would give her expenses paid flights over and back to oversee that?
Then
@LeoVaradkar
says its deeply unhelpful for someone to give away the position while still negotiating and he is not withdrawing anything. Says corporate tax is worth 12 billion and the fixed rate gave certainty to companies coming here.

In her first term in the European parliament Lynn was one of the hardest working parliamentarians and fought Ireland's corner at every opportunity! Vote
@LNBDublin
back in and give your second preference to Daithi Doolan!
I want to be an MEP that will stand up for Dublin and Ireland. An MEP that cares about the real issues that matter most to people.
Change starts with the European elections. If you want change, you have to vote for it.
Vótáil Sinn Fein 1 & 2
535,595 people voted Sinn Féin number 1 in the general election!

arrogantly excludes these people from government formation discussions!

Willie, instead of tweeting about it why don't you just ask your parliamentary party colleagues who will be making these decisions? Then tweet their replies!
@breakingnewsie
Daughter of civil rights leader? She's a Fine Gael senator and daughter of a former Fine Gael minister! Showing extreme bias with that headline!
@BillyKelleherEU
Is now a bad time to mention Ray Burke, Ivor Callelly, Francie O Brien, Liam Lawlor, Bertie Ahern, Pee and Beverley Flynn or Charlie Haughey?
Mary-Lou McDonald asked the Taoiseach about his commitment from 2017 that 'no child would wait longer than four months for spinal surgery' - she wanted to now, know that as he is Taoiseach, would he finally do something for the kids left waiting.?
And below is what Fine Gael

@AodhanORiordain
Aodhan seems to have forgotten what he and his colleagues did to the most vulnerable just a few short years ago in government!
Dee Forbes showed contempt and arrogance to Dáil committees when questioned about affairs at RTE! Now we know why! But she was a government stooge so she'll get away with it!
#HowIrelandWorks
🤒
That the Director General Dee Forbes could go before the Public Accounts Committee and lie. Seriously, where the do we go from here ?
She will walk, with her pension just like they all do after being embroiled in scandal. You'd be sick of it.

@angiebeeb
Have you noticed that the Examiner makes no mention of the fact his sister is a cabinet minister! If he was a third cousin twice removed of a Sinn Féin frontbench member it would have been the headline!
@JamieBrysonCPNI
SF have been in government with unionist parties in Northern Ireland for most of the last 24 years! What you're actually saying is that you won't accept them leading that administration despite the Democratic mandate they received in the last assembly election!
@rtenews
As a lifelong Eurovision fan I would say it's well deserved! The hypocrisy in how quickly they threw Russia out and no sanction at all against the worst genociders!
