Of course you know full well that the Taoiseach doesn’t spend his entire working sitting in the Dail chamber.

Conor McWade 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🇬🇪2 years ago

His job is in Government buildings working as Taoiseach. Not hanging around making silly videos.

Sorry MaryLou but I’m slowly losing all respect for you. Please don’t assume that we’re all so naive that we think Simon Harris pulled a sickie today! I imagine he achieved a heck of a lot more from his working day than you! Less negativity please before we all stop listening!

From the party with the lowest Dáil attendance! 🤦‍♂️ All you do is talk and complain... Zero ideas or solutions.

Kit Murray2 years ago

What a ridiculous statement. Very little real work gets done slagging each other off across the Dail chamber... you've milked this for all its worth. Undermine his housing strategy by publishing your own, give the voters an insight into what exactly you have in mind???

Ryland Media2 years ago

Voted yes but said no? mmmm?

Galloper Thompson2 years ago

He’s in the Commons to be sworn in as Prime Minister…

That’s just pathetic

Wow. Simon Harris says Israel is now engaged in a “war on children” and seems, to him; to be “blinded by rage”. “You cannot build peace on the graves of children,” he tells the Dáil. @virginmedianews

With this Government, it seems if you fail, you can fail to the very top. Powerful contribution from Mary Lou McDonald as she sets out the record of Simon Harris -the man who brought down the last government, when Fianna Fáil had no confidence in him. The man who failed in this commitment to children with scoliosis and the man responsible for building the most expensive hospital in the world. #Dáil #TemporaryTaoiseach

After it was revealed that Ukrainians were getting taxpayer funded car repairs, Simon Harris was asked about it in the Dáil today. He didn't deny it!
