And to think that this is the party that wants to put an end to the monopoly of the "civil war parties".

Because I graduated from a humble IT, I have no vote for the university panels, yet anyone who went to UCC, NUIG, UCD or Maynooth has one.Comment

I wonder how long is this going to go on for. The entire Fine Gael Parliamentary party bar Jennifer Carroll O'Neill and Neal Richmond have thrown their phones in the liffey and gone off to thailand to smoke opium and find themselves. Micheal Martin is testing the patience of the FF parliamentary party as he leaves another message on Leo's phone which is probably currently vibrating inside a confused trout. Meanwhile Sinn fein are calling Fianna Fail and Fine Gael paedophiles and murderers for not accepting that people want rid of them, which strikes me as an odd way to prepare for coalition negotiations with one of them. Everyone is eyeing this coronavirus disaster, and is becoming all too aware that the next govt is going to have to preside over complete and utter chaos in the health system, and a Global economic recession.
The only people remotely interested in being in government are the Green Party, and Michael Martin, who knows that otherwise his days are severely numbered.
Fintan O'Toole has another article (behind paywall) where he once again confuses people urging fiscal caution at this time with people in favour of a small govt. He's taken to mentioning well down the paragraph, that we need to have a discussion about how to pay for it, but it has all the hallmarks of someone who has received a few letters about his last unfortunate venture into macro-economic commentary. I think the kindest thing to be said about it is that the key to every Economic catastrophe is that people always find a way to think that it will be different this time. It's the same all too human instinct that allows women to have more than one child, by enabling them to forget just how close the last one came to killing them (For most of human history anyway)
