I’m sick to the teeth of people talking about Tony Houlihan’s unique knowledge.
The unique knowledge that advised us not to wear masks?
The unique knowledge that advised against the use of antigen tests?
The unique knowledge that sent Nursing Home Residents to die?
No loss!
Timely to remember that when the focus is again on salaries at the top in the Department of Health front line health care workers are still waiting for the €1,000 pandemic bonus and many more are waiting to see if they will even qualify.
So they changed the name of NPHET and gave all the NPHET gang another high paid job. Let’s have a quiz and guess who is the chairman of said new group? Yes Tony Holohan. You actually couldn’t make this nonsense up. They clearly think the public are thick. https://t.co/epuoyc2WHV
+ Now, two caveats. 1. When I say 'I can't see evidence' this, of course does not mean there is no such evidence. It would be good to see it. 2. Of course, this could be clinical professorship. In which case, fine, you don't need to have much of research.
Another fine mess. Will this government ever learn that public appointments paid for by public money must be fully transparent. The rules must be followed and applied in respect of all positions.
@oconnellhugh Would he be asking for this to be paused if there hadn't been such an uproar on this. Previously he had said he had no hand act or part in this. Let's move on yet again. He is the leader of this country
What is it with FF and FG,
that they shower their friends with largesse
but refuse to help people struggling with the cost of living.

Transport chaos at Dublin Airport & no sign of Transport Minister.
Covid rampant in hospitals & no sign of the Health Minister.
Huge covid staff/student absences in schools & no sign of Education Minister.
House price/Cost of Living crisis & no sign of Taoiseach/Tanaiste.
@FergalBowers@rtenews CMO got it so wrong. Many countries have kept masks. What was the rush to stop mask wearing for maybe 8 more weeks. I would prefer a mask or worst scenario lockdown
Send me abusive tweets because of my opinion. Look at China or Hong Kong. I don't want or can I afford lockdown
Of all the mistakes made by this Government, the appointment of Robert Watt, on a grotesque salary, could turn out to be the worst. Greens very silent in this. #health
A - your tax paid for this
B - your tax paid for the advisor that came up with this
C - your tax paid for the person that agreed to this
D - your tax paid for who signed off on this
You wont get the 24 seconds back ever. But you need to watch this
Absolute embarrassment
Appallingly inept performance by Robert Watt at the Oireachtas health committee. Depressing, given the suffering of people on waiting lists and trolleys.
