Taoiseach Micheál Martin says he ‘learned something’ about Alan Kelly yesterday which he won’t forget. ‘I’ve never seen the likes of it before,’ he says, referring to Mr Kelly’s claim that he told him teachers would be exempt from isolation rules. | https://t.co/cBQxDwNmsb pic.twitter.com/6He8NRqsGT

Alan Kelly putting on record what he says the Taoiseach told him yesterday about teachers apparently being excepted from the five-day restricted movements. He invites the Taoiseach (in his reply) to call him a liar if he sees fit.
(It is unparliamentary to call someone a liar.)

Escalating.






Two sides of the same coin.
I believe Kelly, but he’s only using it to stay relevant. Handled it poorly. MM get the upper hand as AK cant prove it….. or can he?
Kelly clearly playing to the Union back row- why should teachers be exempt? Have they got some sort of extra immunity or something?
Politics… just a game of sport for the elected; while the rest of us are man handled and exploited to every level that government can think of all in the light of progress.
Meanwhile and the Irish Healthcare awards went ahead on Monday; not a mask or covid cert in sight. Alas, they are more important than the “workers” as the elected so enjoy to refer to the rest of society.

Ireland needs a political satire comedy show like Veep from HBO. They are ripe for it. A bunch of incompetent goons! Childish bickering and all.

The excellent reporting by gript.ie in relation to Kinzen has been pulled – as far as I can see – which provided a detailed analysis of the toxic relationship between government and this ‘media’ company.
