Can someone give me a (very) brief synopsis as to what it’s all about ?

I voted 2 weeks but knowing Irish politics he’ll probably brazen it out and then top the poll in his constituency come the next election.

Edit: Brutal spelling (as usual)

Roisin did up a list of a couple of hundred areas for the primary care units, a list of 20 was prepared by Roisin and given to Reilly, he then added another 15, within that 15 were 2 of his constituencies, they were previously rated as number 44 and 100 and something, yet they made it to the list of 35.

Roisin left, Reilly bumbled and then it was discovered that one of the primary care centers in his location was to be built on a site owned by someone who he didn’t know, some developer, non existent friendship explained here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=46985.

Thanks for that I wasn’t paying any attention either. Hope the country is learning. these are great lessons. We should not waste these times for informative change.

Eh? so he’s doing right by his consituents and his mates? Isn’t that why he was elected?

Good grief, what do you think democracy is for?

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose

I don’t know who coined the phrase but, FG and FF are two cheeks of the same arse!!!

And unless he exposes his arse to a primary school class, his is staying where it is.

Edit
Paddy Power have opened a book

Leo Varadkar 2/1

Simon Coveney 7/2

Francis Fitzgerald 6/1

Eamon Gilmore 8/1

Joan Burton 10/1

tick tock, tick tock

[estarmam]

they wheel him out to just bore everyone into submission

[Coles2]

This is what FF/FG are. Labour aren’t any better.

Not to defend Reilly… but…
There was a list drawn up.
Roisin and her gang rewrote the list.
They used new criteria such as adding more weight to, for example, more deprived areas (i.e. leftie voter areas).

So maybe Roisin pulled a stroke.
Reilly shrugged and figured he’d do the same.
Roisin bails before they were both called out.
Reilly can’t call her out without admitting guilt on his part.

Stroke politics all around.

I’m open to correction on this of course.

[yoganmahew]

Never.

Who wants to move to Angola?

@yoganmahew

Never.

Reilly also seems to have ommitted to mention that a good friend of his owned the land on which the health yokes were to be built.

How anyone of intelligence can despise what Fianna Fáil stand/stood for while supporting Fine Gael is beyond me.

Zero difference whatsoever bar the fact that FF have had more chance to indulge themselves over the years.

Fintoin, despite being of the Labour Party bullshit brigade, hits the nail on the head in this paragraph…

For Fine Gael, the formula makes complete sense. It has replaced Fianna Fáil as the chief operator of The Machine, the system of clientelist politics that has held power since the 19th century. It can stay in office for a very long time by becoming as adept and unashamed in its manipulation of the levers of power as the party it looked on for so long with all the envy of a shy, spotty youth watching the slick rogue getting all the girls. The jilted lad would console himself by raging that the rogue was a bad character. But secretly he dreamed of being the rogue himself.

FG never really hated FF. They just wanted to be FF. And now it seems, they are getting their wish…

Damit Yogan, they were not lies, he just forgot what the truth was because he thought we might not like it, he was doing it for our own good!!!

Ha. I might use that one myself.

I voted 2 months. If there was a longer option I might have gone for it. There’ll be a reshuffle at some stage but will Kenny really move one of his strongest supporters when there was a heave against himself. Actually probably not. Well my vote is cast anyway.

That’s not how it went down. There were 338 sites idenitifed, Reilly, Roisin and the HSE drew up a list of criteria and using that agreed criteria Roisin and the HSE identified 20 sites, The list was forwarded to Reilly where he added 15, 2 of the 15 were assessed and placed 44th and 127th on the original list of 338. These ended up in the additional 15.

He claimed that 5 years ago the 2 sites in question, were identified in the top 35 and claimed that under “Roisins” new criteria (agreed by him) that they lost out - but this isn’t true as it was discovered that they originally had those rankings in June last year before Shorthall changed the orignal criteria from 5 years ago. She complained that Reilly added thses without explanation or justifcation.

Reilly said:

“I made this decision, and I know [Ms Shortall] disagrees with it. But I have made the decision, and I have the authority to so do, I did so with good reason, I took advice here in the Department, I took further advice from the HSE, and I also consulted several ministerial colleagues. I have made the decision, and if I had to make the decision again I would make the very same decision.”

But he never asked her or made her aware of what he was doing and why he changed the criteria, you have to ask in this case about the validity of the first 20 sites, how would they fare under the changed criteria?

He went behind her back, he undermined the exercise and he undermined her. They agreed on a set of criteria and when the results didn’t suit him he simply changed the goalposts.

I can’t see him going, he has Enda’s ear.

He is the wrong person in this job, he’s the great footballer who has spent years criticising the manager and saying he’d do a better job.
