Former FG Cabinet minister and Laois-Offaly TD @CharlieFlanagan not happy this evening.
“Meat factory issue was well flagged & should have been tackled earlier. Punishing and penalising an entire community in an arbitrary way is a blunt instrument and ill-considered.” https://t.co/IEzm3U40tA

Hmmm.
Meanwhile…
wow charlie flanagan maybe you and your neolib pals could have addressed shit working conditions, shit pay, shit regulations and heeded those warnings while you were in government right now and for the last 10 years including the entirety of covid-19 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://t.co/oU6AKJwMhX

Maybe he should have thought of this when insisting that warehousing asylum seekers in DP was justified to prevent a “pull factor” 🤦♀️

Yesterday: Direct Protection
Earlier: Meanwhile In Timahoe
Previously: “I’ve Seen Some Misleading Information On Social Media”
“Public Health Measures Must Apply To All”
What an absolute scumbag of a bitter coward of a man
Not even a man
A half witted flaccid specimen with some traces of homosapiens
DP was in his direct remit as Minister for Justice – including the Acting term
This was entirely in his hands when in this last job
Typical oul’ fella politics
Blame someone else
Well flagged with yerself ya lazy useless goat
And instead of getting these people out of communal DP accomodation
You actually loaded people onto a bus and moved them to another location spreading the ‘Rona from Dublin to West Kerry
You sickening lump of turs
+1
entitled with ideas well above his board
definitely in my personal top 10 most hated politician list of all time
A total plonker
This man is partly responsible for the arrival of covid19
They coded us well with the hero crap
Yes hero’s
Gardai frontline
Nurses
Doctors
Workers in the hospitals
Ambulance drivers
Paramedics
As for government
HSE
Their handling has caused more misery
And now the chickens are all coming home to roost
We need to know why the obvious places where clusters were always going to happen were not monitored
We need to know how many people were tested
We need to know we’re the processing plants calling the shots and why inspections were not carried out
And we need heads to roll and that is for starters
Waster Flanagan suddenly has a voice.
He has no room to talk.Moving People in DP around willy nilly without a covid heath check in the middle of a lock down for the rest of us. from which I got the covid . He has no right whatsoever to say anything
Talking about DP we need to know how many workers in these plants lived in DP we also need to know why migrant workers were allowed in unchecked or quarantined
We need to know when workers were tested
We also need to know wether criminal charges are to be levied against management of these plants
Also these plants must be seized by government and kept closed
he loves cheap labour
Thanks for deleting the comment I made yesterday
No loss.
Hi
A safe pair of hands for the law society, insurance industry and all the professionals cartels that pillage and plunder Irish society.
No insurance to protect your buisness from these cases but an open season for those suing businesses from catching covid on their premises
I hope the journalists keep an eye on Lockdowned Flanagan to make sure the stays locked down. Are there any real journalists nearby?
well what else happens when you keep your airports open do not trace or ensure people arriving are quarantined
Then the cast of the walking dead from epicentres flying in by the thousand
No testing and now the latest scam for cyber criminals are on line covid 19 tests so you cannot get a test if you want one except by recommendation of your GP
Mind you keeping pubs closed was the smart move so your alcohol had to be bought and consumed where ever you liked from supermarkets garages and off licences
is the problem with meat processing facilities that they are principally staffed by Brazilians who live in ‘residences’ of 10 or 20 per house or more and go from house to house parties. if there was any investigative journalism in this country a spot light would surely be held to this.
I live next to one of these brazillian houses. there are perhaps 14 to 18 adults in a 3 bedroom house in North Dublin. these individuals are working as food couriers and in Keelings as fruit pickers. the same is true for meat packing in Gort, Kildare and Waterford.
there is a modern slave trade between the English language colleges, landlords and low paid food processing and courier jobs.
which is why you’ll hear nothing about this. Landlords + meat barrons = FFG
Yes indeed
Well played Frank
Also staffed by people from Direct Provision
Maybe it’s time the gardai were told to investigate this
I worked in two restaurants that hired Brazilian students
Hard workers and allowed to work up to 20 hours a week
And they did plus working in other places
Some never studied
Any chance the Dept of Foreign Affairs would tell us how many Visas were issued to perspective
meat plant workers outside the EU Zone and in particular Brazil and since there are no direct
flights from Brazil how is access gained ….how many non nationals are employed in the meat
processing sector and how many out of DP
