However, Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan yesterday said he spoke to Donnelly on Saturday, on Sunday morning in advance of a NPHET meeting and again afterwards. 'We didn’t feel #NPHET proposal had been thought through' - Tánaiste Leo Varadkar #cblive pic.twitter.com/z8YhvYgFPSSpeaking in the Dáil this afternoon, Varadkar reiterated that the recommendation to go to Level 5 was a shock to the government, saying there was “no inkling” this would be the advice. However, he said he has since spoken to Holohan and they “cleared the air”.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Today with Claire Byrne, Green Party leader Eamon Ryan said: “No one knew in the country and no one knew in government until Sunday evening that it might be that proposal to go from effectively from level two to five pretty much the next day, and that would have created real difficulty.”
“We need details in relation to what happened over the weekend, because there are questions here about competency and capacity. And that is the most serious issue for me. This is not about catching people out, who said what and when,” Kelly said. “Minister Donnelly’s statement does not address the issue. He allowed the impression to be formed that NPHET went on a solo run and stayed silent as the Tánaiste attacked the CMO. This is unacceptable and he must give a full explanation in the Dáil,” Cullinane tweeted.
Course he does sure he's part of the click
How can people accept this tyranny and abuse over a mutated bio weapon virus into a runny nose ,sore throat ? Anyone see there is something wrong here ?
Yeah.. sure.. He’s the only one so..
More dead eyes
He he banker. He should have no confidence in Foley, O Brien, and Donnelly. All way out of their depth and not fit for office. They should all stay local with the FF OAP voters. Ask O Brien how he gets elected every year with a bunch of OAP'S in Malahide.dont mention the station
Here we go again. These ministers have a country to run. Why are we wasting the Health Ministers time. Just let the minister get on with the job he is doing. These ongoing interrogations are wearisome now. Just happy we are not in lockdown again.
In the minority there Michael !
He's about the only one then...
He must have watched his promo vid
Replacing one trout-shouldered, Greystones wet wipe with another.
Full confidence that he will take the fall for them
Do we still have a Minister for Health?.,Talked the talk not gone missing from walking the walk.
That’s him gone so
He is the only one, even Simon Harris thinks that he is shit. And I agree with Simon
It's pity on one else does
😄😄😄😄😄
More than we do
This is what Data Scientists and Statisticians call an 'outlier'.
He must be the only one has confidence in him
The Taoiseach may have ,but the majority of the country doesn't .
So we’ve one out of 5 million... Anyone else?
No ,he hasn't
He’s toast!
Boys club. Stick together.
Since the government FF FG GREENS was formed, they were in the shit after shit after shit. It seems they can't do anything right.
well the people do not have confidence in him or you Mr Martin or your government peoples lives are at stake now , we need proper and honest goverment
Oops - traditionally not a good sign
Getting a vote of confidence from Michael Martin is not worth a f*ck
Well that makes one of us.
The only thing he's done since he began in office, is pat himself on the back. He has done absolutely nothing.
Ah, the old vote of confidence. Death-knell of many a career.
Is that similar to the Chairman's vote of confidence just before a manager gets sacked?
He must be glad somebody does !
