    So if younger unvaccinated people won’t be allowed to eat and drink indoors, I assume younger and unvaccinated people won’t be allowed to work indoors in hospitality? May as well be consistent with how we treat young people or is having fun the differentiating factor? 🤔

    From parking my car and going through security @ShannonAirport it took me just 9 minutes! 👏🏻We really need to asses why 80% + of air travel goes through Dublin airport when we have @Irelandwest and Shannon available and with capacity to take more.

    I believe the government have made the wrong decision to proceed with a plan to allow only fully vaccinated people back to indoor hospitality. We are splitting the people & leaving younger people behind, the very cohort that have shouldered the greatest burden to protect others.

    A strong message from women in this referendum; they didn’t want the word mother removed from our constitution. And many people want the Government to do more to enable mothers to stay at home if they want to, that choice isn’t really available for most. #Referendum2024

    Why wasn’t this said immediately when the story broke? Would have made big difference to everyone’s reaction.

    Glad to see the public reaction to this is to condem the publication of the story. He was a juvenile and it was over 20 years ago. We don’t throw people on the scrap heap for making a mistake. The judicial system is about rehabilitation as well as punishment, both happened here.

    “I was not aware that he had a drugs conviction as a teenager when I nominated him to the night-time economy task force.” Government still not vetting appointees even after mishaps. Green minister 'was not aware' she had appointed former drug dealer. independent.ie/irish-news/pol…

    Not going to happen, the backstop was agreed by U.K. There has been no time wasting on the part of Ireland, the backstop is fundamental to the withdrawal agreement from our perspective and will not be erased no matter how much the DUP bang the table. #brexit #nohardborder

    Just finished a call with the Prime Minister. My message was clear. The backstop must go. Too much time has been wasted. Need a better deal. Disappointed it has taken so long for Prime Minister to listen.

    We’ll have no one in public life at this rate. He didn’t even have his family at his inauguration. This is not good journalism.

    Pity we don’t have a PFG from SF to compare it to 🤔 similar to 2016 plenty of action on social media and little else from SF. A very charmed existence; just give out about everything and do nothing.

    This is disgraceful, an unprovoked attack on our Tánaiste Leo Varadkar by some thug. I hope the Gardaí find this person and charge them. It doesn’t matter what you think of an individual or their politics there is no room for this thuggery in our country.

    You can dislike Leo Varadkar, you can criticise his policies, you can disagree with him, but this is nasty and unnecessary thing to do.
