The migrants are now Harris's problem

 

[tldr]

Looks like it's Harris. Appears the Ministry of Health is the seedbed of Irish leaders now. He has a quick mind. I remember seeing him walking onto Suffolk st from Grafton st one day, looked like he wanted to get of Angola for a bit of air.

In fairness, wrt the NCH, "the tender winner" saw the missing design elements in the tender drawings and priced for the incomplete building, which meant they came in lowest and won. Then, when the drawings were updated as work progressed, they were able to premium price the change requests. That's why there was such high price inflation on that job.

There were also cost pressures from all the other inputs too, given how you can't get away with bin paint anymore and it's a special building. That's still filtering into the industry so it remains a bit two steps forward one step back - which breaks work flow and hikes expenditures due to the friction. The cheapest way to do something is to do it correctly.

It's difficult to put a bespoke building of that magnitude into the middle of an old world city in the any case. The momentum behind getting it done was decades building and there was little that could be done to bring it back to formula.

Fine Gael leadership: Donohoe and Humphreys join non-runners, Harris support gains steam - Breakingnews.ie


Always thought Coveney and Donohoe were top performers. Could be they feel like they've done their tours of duty and are off to fresh pastures in the near future. The local and Euro elections will indicate a lot. Wonder what the unfiltered polling looks like.


Here's a quote from Harris from his oration at the Glasnevin.

'Friends, the best days for this country, for our Republic are yet to come.'

Oration by Minister Simon Harris T.D at the 101st Anniversary Collins Griffith Commemoration - Fine Gael

He should be given a chance.

Most are likely just happy that a fool is picking up the hot potato.

It's gonna be embarrassing for Fine Gael if only one person puts themselves forward for the job and gets the role of Taoiseach without even being voted in by his own party.

Harris as Taoiseach...what a joke. No charisma, no intelligence, no leadership ability. At least we'll only have to put up with him for a few months.

The Taoiseach of the woke minority​

…And Kylie Minogue​

All is not well these days in “Leo is a ledge” land. The woke messiah’s halo has well and truly lost its sparkle. The new emerging global independent media seem to have picked up on just how bad he is too, in terms of his disgusting, disgraceful treatment of the Irish people, his banal mediocrity and just his overall buffoonery, repugnance and incompetence. Everyone from Tucker Carlson to Steve Bannon to the Lotus Eaters, GB News and Sky News Australia, have all been alerted to his shenanigans and his mismanagement of the ever deepening crises on this island. Crises he of course helped create.
They are all unanimously aghast at his flagrant disregard for the Irish people and their opposition to the trajectory he has put this nation on. The much maligned hate speech bill and his bizarre decision to berate Irish men in the aftermath of crimes committed by non-Irish men, have brought the eyes of the world upon him and made him a figure of ridicule on the global stage. The Irish media, all the while do their best ‘three wise monkeys’ impression and remain steadfastly blind, deaf and dumb to any misgivings.
The emperor needs a trip to Louis Copeland, because everyone is beginning to see for themselves that he hasn’t a stitch. This is a man with no popular mandate remember. A man who only became Taoiseach due to Enda Kenny stepping down and edging out Simon Coveney in the race for party leadership and only retaining his Dáil seat on the fifth count at the last election. A man who has remarkably dominated Irish politics for close to a decade, despite never winning a popular vote, thanks largely to his own personal public relations team, RTÉ, who have never to my memory, remotely criticised him on anything. And there’s so much, boys and girls, so so much. This graduate of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders program managed to slip under the radar unfortunately. His rise to prominence came before the advent of social media and before the alternative media had become the force it now is.

His placement in a Questions & Answers audience, where he seemed to be planted to question (ironically) the then health minister, Micheál Martin regarding the dubious practices of the pharmaceutical industry. It was a carbon copy of what the Irish propaganda machine recently tried with Labour Party member, Linda O’Sullivan - who deserves a special mention due to the similarities - after the recent referendum trouncing. Handpicked audience members seem to be the order of the day. A little test perhaps, before moving on up the chain to bigger things. It seems to be a rite of passage, a box to tick along the way in their internship. Quite possibly a practice run at political discourse in the public arena with the eyes of the nation upon them, to see do they cut the mustard.

Tony that's far too long. It just doesn't work on a format such as this.

No disrespect

I think that I saw somewhere that Simon Harris suffers from Crohn's Disease ~ ~ That can be a debilitating condition and I am Not sure that somebody suffering from it will be capable of doing a stressful job such as Irish Taoiseach ~ ~ Perhaps this is why Simon Harris has performed so poorly in his Government Jobs !

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

We will redouble our efforts now to get Harris out and Mehaul Martin has his coming soon too

Well, I haven't been playing close attention to domestic politics recently. Once the protocols were agreed we weren't in crisis mode up until the recent national disintegration push. I've been more interested in the impending collapse of the Western Civilisation server, and its urgent need of critical admin work.

The fact is we need a government, and we need it to function. On the commercial aspect of it, we've been doing remarkably well - and that has a lot to do with Donohoe. Let's see what happens. Whoever becomes FG leader, they should be given a fair go. We'll see if they govern from the centre and drop the Dom fantasies of the hand cream cabal - going forward.

TBH I was very disappointed that Coveney didn't get in last time. I don't think he's past his prime at all - in fact he was the heavy cavalry during Brexit and made the ground. Coveney has done good work in all the ministries he's been shifted around to keep him down. I wonder if it's just he's not interested in a Pyrrhic victory this time around.

Actually saw Coveney out and about on the junction of Earlsfort Terrace and Stephen's Green one day. I also saw Paul O'Connell going for a run one morning on Leeson st (still the greatest among greats Paul!). That attitude we have that sure we're all muintir is liberating. It makes us a free society and would bring a sore cost to our general wellbeing if it was lost.

Still too long mate.

C- Must do better

Surely some woman will have the balls to challenge this jellyfish

 

[Coal Gas and peat]

Michael ring should have challenged

 

[Declan]

I agree. His rally cry should be.

Out with Leo's ring

In with Mike ring.



It would get the gay vote anyway.

Great man to shout Harris down too one last Hoorah......Val mentioned him in a recent video
