    How many of them have been asked to avoid Leinster House for 14 days following their return from Belfast?

    1. Cian

      None of them – Sinn Fein don’t recognise Northern Ireland¹ as distinct from the Republic².

      ¹ ‘6 counties’, ‘Northern state’, ‘the North-West’, ‘the north of Ireland’ , …
      ² ’26 counties’, ‘Southern state’, ‘Free State’, ‘Southern Ireland’, ‘the south of Ireland’, …

      Plus there is no quarantine required if you are travelling north south or north south, regardless of politics.

      Travel from N.I. – no need to self-isolate

      A bit silly really – there’s restrictions coming from England into the Republic. But – there’s no restrictions England to Northern Ireland, no restrictions Northern Ireland to Ireland. So Fly London – Belfast, and drive or fly to the Republic. No isolation.

      It’s all the blood on the hands and those
      Prepared to
      Murder for a cause that gets me

      May they never get to power

  2. Vanessanelle

    Excellent
    I’d swap out Cullinane for Conway Walsh there in Health
    But otherwise spot on

    Martin Kenny is a class act, really looking forward to hearing from him

  3. Harry Robertson

    So they are Social Distancing now, does this mean they admit they were wrong?

  4. Janet, dreams of big guns

    there no point wearing confident red heels and then undermining it with a defensive crossed arm walk

    1. sidhe

      acceptable in the depths of winter with a lbd and heels only

      a cardinal sin at any other time, punishable by public stoning
