Minister for Social Protection Heather Humphreys and Minister for Finance, Paschal Donohoe in Dublin Castle last month
“Some jobs will not come back and there is no point in waiting for the never never… It is best that we help people to re-skill, retrain and look at other jobs they can take up”
Heather Humphreys…
More angry reaction from Irish musicians to Heather Humphreys’ “re-skill, retrain” comments. The message is clear; the Government must act to save the industry as we know it https://t.co/1VfCI88Nfy

“Some jobs will not come back and there is no point in waiting for the never never…”
Is this an acceptance that many pubs and restaurants are going to go to the wall, and this is their quiet way of letting us know?
Great headline, Nick. I see the weekend festivities have not blunted too much :-)
Thanks Slightly!
UBI will be needed in Ireland sooner than we all thought. Some automation has already kicked in taking jobs, but soon there will be businesses that will go under completely without serious financial help.
TDs expenses are published 1 month after they are paid, so expenses for June should be published in early August.
The last expenses published are for February, ask Heather why they are being so secretive. Is it because they all claimed 100% of their “entitlement” even though the Dail wasn’t sitting for March, April or May, by coincidence the 3 months not published.
Nah I just think this is an over reaction
Musicians are a precious crowd, maybe if they haven’t been organised before they will be better organised now

From someone who’s never had a real job in her life!
She has though to be fair. she become a TD relatively recently.
She wasn’t specifically referring to musicians https://www.kildarestreet.com/debates/?id=2020-07-29a.29&s=never+speaker%3A303#g36
Can you imagine a minister saying this to beef farmers?
“We have to reduce the national herd and we’re not going back there’s no point in waiting for the never never”
havent checked but i presume she’s FG. the laziest party, most unwilling to work. For her it’s easier to say “ah get a new job” then work out any meaningful governmental input. At this moment in time we need creative, hard-working problem solvers in government. But what we have is pigs at a trough looking to do the minimum.
That’s a fine black pot/kettle you have there farty.
that’s a fine sentence that doesn’t make any sense in relation to what i said.
This is the bufoon who was once the minister for Arts.
Yup. Enterprise too.
She is completely and utterly clueless.
“Some jobs will not come back and there is no point in waiting for the never never…”
I wonder if she said as much to her erstwhile cabinet colleagues like the Zapper, Shane Ross, Regina Doherty and lobby fodder like Sean Kyne, Michael Darcy, Kate O’Connell, Tom Neville, Noel Rock, Pat the Cope and others?
