The CMO's Credibility was already gone since he was 1 behind the smear scandal. Pb4p are now profit b4 pple. If they would all stop there B.S with a fucking virus & tell us the actual truth that would be nice because most people know pharma+others paid them to sell out our nation

Michael Martin must have taught him that trick with all the hand movements, to distract from the lies,

I wouldnt believe this arseholes radio , not at all likeable , arrogance personified

Ah Paul. Looking for a bit of attention. Your still a clown.

He just wants an excuse so he and his buddies can sit at home on their arses for a few months and do nothing.

And if they did go to L5 he would be complaining that his constituents businesses are shut down. waffler

This prick , Alan Kelly and Mary Lou just seem to moan about everything that’s being done. Never anything positive to try and sort out the situation. No wonder Eamon Ryan falls asleep listening to that all the time.

I wonder would he be as enthusiastic about level 5 if he had to put his mortgage on hold and live on approx. €200 a week🤔🤔

Does he realise a level 5 lockdown will only kick the can down the road for 3/4 weeks? And will potentially close lots of businesses for good.

Nothing a Communist like Murphy loves more than the enslavement of a population. It gives him hard ons for the USSR and Pol Pot. The dirty bugger.

He also added that it will rain in Ireland in future but could not confirm if he believed the rain would be just wet or very wet.

But every week we put it off saves thousands of jobs!

Hang on, hasnt the opposition been complaining on several occasions over the past number of months that the government was following NPHET’s advice too closely and they felt NPHET was running the country and not the elected officials. Pick a side lads and stict to it!

Full of piss and wind is Richard.

Don't know about anyone else but I believe Tony IBelieveTony integrity hasntliedtousyet

Fool

For failures to help carehomes with so many deaths, advance warnings, expertise, seven months, preparing nothing for them, keeping people busy over a lockdown doesn’t cut it. Nor a economic attack just to distract from obscene failure that’s costing lives is just manslaughter

paulmurphy_TD well said!

Baldy little bugger can do one. His voice grates on me

Honestly lads, “Government says black; Paul Murphy says white” shouldn’t constitute news.

So with everything that’s happen since he took over. He has completely mishandled the covid response. Now this..... is it time his head rolled or should we continue down this path of death misery and misfortune

They were behaving like all politicians behave, playing to their electoral base.

Christ almighty !! seriously people of Ireland what chance have we got with these absolute tools at the helm just listen to this bell end. has been hiding for the last few months now comes out to throw stones because Leo checked mate NPHET go back under your rock you slug

What has this opportunist ever done for anyone apart from getting free legal aid, for himself.

Either lockdown or reopen but this half arsed bullshit is achieving nothing other than prolonging the move to level 5

paulmurphy_TD He like a little bollox that won’t go away wait till the people that support him won’t get the original COVID payment

paulmurphy_TD Who?

Paul should move to Level 5 now if he really feels like that. As should his constituents and voters. Immediately and for 3 to 4 weeks. That’s The NEPHET advice. That’s what Tony really wants him and all his followers to do, immediately and for the month or so.

Based on what? What criteria? We the little people, business owners have to hang on to every word and snippet. This is a sick game.

Then why did they deride Dr Holohan, an honourable and decent man. Politics playing with peoples lives.

Who leaked the minutes of the meeting about how many covid angels can dance on the head of a pint ?

Deliberate manipulation of the narrative by members of government on Monday. Shameful and dishonest.

It looks like Richard wants his constituents and followed to go into and stay in Level 5 for the next few weeks. If he feels that way, he should instruct them so.

4?

That bald fuck won't have his wages reduced if we have to move to level 5. Put them on the PUP and see if they will accept level 5 then.

Yep They want you struggling on PUP, rather than working. Remember that. They want you poor.

Richard Boyd Barrett would argue over the colour of the sky.

That'll play well with his constituents who are let go and can't get jobs.

And what would he have done, locked the whole country down with little notice.....easy on the sidelines 🙄

Relax ya donkey, get your facts right first !

For goodness sake all that happened was an advising body gave advice that the government overruled. That's government 101 for ya. He publicly showed annoyance that the advice was leaked before consideration by govt. Completely justified.

Sure. Paul's wet dream is a nation under control of a centralised authoritarian government. Go home Tankie!

Lockdowns don't work simply kicking the can down the road.

You go on 250 a week Richard and see how you feel then.
