Resignation in 3….2….1….
The cold hard truth is she is not up to the job and never was. It’s a hugely important state function and the lesson here is there needs to be some sort of competency test before ministers are appointed.
Sadly, because politics, diversity numbers and all that craic its likely she’ll remain in the role until the GE
She has been disastrous, as has Roderic. Look at the fruits of their labour and know them.
I don’t like Helen however can’t help feeling some sympathy on a human level, totally out of her depth and no way back. The position FG put that family is nothing short of disgraceful particularly after what happened in the past. Blood on their hands.
Get a lettuce and a photo of Simon Harris.
But like what actually is the answer to what is currently going on?
Meath East has given us Helen McEntee and Regina Doherty.
Cut it loose.
If she had a brain she’d be dangerous — the embodiment of everything wrong with nepotism in Irish politics. Zero charisma, zero intelligence, zero tact, but she gets one of the most important ministries on account of her da being a former FG toady. If politics was a meritocracy she’d never have seen the inside of the dáil. Any time I’ve seen her speak she’s completely wooden — pure dead eyes on her like she’s disassociating, like she doesn’t want to be there and she’s just going through the motions because this is what she’s been groomed for all her life and she has no other option. She’s an absolute shambles and how anyone can defend her is beyond me. In reality, if anyone performed as poorly as she has they would’ve been given the boot a long time ago — she’s protected by the FG cronies because her last name is McEntee. That’s the long and short of it. Absolute omnishambles.
After all the gaslighting, name calling, and division promoted over the last 18 months, here we are at the inevitable conclusion.
A government that is getting ready to tear itself apart, and a problem so out of control that any new government will find next to impossible to address.
Just fucking lovely.
We unfortunately elect low people to high office and because of the Dail configuration nobody will raise a stink. Were a laughing stock
Two things I can’t understand; 1) Harris didn’t take the easy choice to remove Helen 2) Helen hasn’t any self awareness that she’s not up to this brief
Bring back Bertie.
He’d get the metrolink built. There would be a handy stop right outside his house, and he’d take 5% of all ticket sales, but it’d be built dammit!
And we’d have proper community schemes again. A free crèche in every primary school in the country. 5 of them would be run by his second cousin for some reason. And Bertie would exclusively own the vending machines in each crèche. But we’d have childcare!
And there’d be one mad idea. Like a national submarine fleet of 2 submarines that nobody can staff. Or every home gets a free beehive.
