The World Health Organisation has said that the Omicron variant, which has been detected in at least 38 countries, has not caused any reported deaths since its discovery. The variant appears to be highly infectious, and the WHO predicts that it could account for half of all Europe’s cases in the next few months. However, […]
Tony Holohan is running the country, on Covid, because Micheál Martin will not. He does not want to. He does not know how to. The strategy, from day one, has been to let NPHET handle it, and hope that Government will take the credit, and Holohan the blame.
Irish politicians only work on problems they can’t solve
You’d feel sorry for them, if you didn’t realise the truth: They let him do it to them.
The summit of EU leaders in Brussels came to a close with no firm decision being made on what steps ought to be taken to force Poland to toe the line on the EU’s insistence that the EU legal framework ought to have primacy over the constitutions of member states. Part of the impasse is […]
Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said that the public must “behave” and “get vaccinated” if we want to prevent rising Covid-19 case numbers.

Add to that that many private sector workers and business owners suffered greatly during the pandemic, suffering financial losses for “the cause”, and what you have is not a recipe for votes, but yet another political mess for the Government, entirely of its own making.
There’s also this to consider: If the 12.5% rate is not, as he claims, of vital importance to attracting multinational investment to Ireland, why haven’t we raised it to 15% ourselves, voluntarily, years ago?
How fortuitous for Micheál Martin that on Sunday, the Mail on Sunday should publish a highly ill-advised and mean-spirited column by somebody called Niamh Walsh, which took aim at the clothing choices made by the female members of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party at their think-in last week. Make no mistake, the article in question […]
How remarkably convenient that the Fianna Fáil election post-mortem – 18 months late – should conclude that the party’s miserable performance at the polls at the last election was really the fault of pro-life TDs, and not at all the fault of Micheál Martin and his leadership. One might almost get the impression that a […]
