Same issues you failed to solve while in government despite all the answers pre election last time and here we are again. Not a fit leader of government, he showed the real Simon in Kanturk. Not nice!
Bluffer all style, no substance. Fine Gael has been in office long enough. It's long past time for a change; but unfortunately, we are likely to get more of the same. Which is really bad for democracy.
Ask the last generation of young people who have had to emigrate to have any real chance of a life. My sons and many of their freinds are now in Canada, with no realistic opportunity to return to this country. Housing, health services, infrastructure, job opportunities, even in teaching. Decades of broken promises.
Vote wisely Ireland Once bitten, twice shy!! Each of them TDs in all parties had the time + opportunities to aid Ireland & our people, So why are they still talking about what they will do & do better, When they haven't done it so far? It's all talk & no action, that's why! It's time for Ireland to focus on our future safety & our children opportunities in their future in their our homeland, This is what is most important!! Vote wisely & Vote loyalty
Yes, I agree, that's was the way of the past, with dumbed down voters who were manipulated by everyone in power!! And after everything we have lived with the results of their behaviour & ideologies that they push on us, the people have woken up!! They can't hide the facts & truth as they did in the past with aid from all mainstream media We have technology to use to dig deep on them & to get proof of their nefarious ways & share to the world! Things are changing & it's up to us, to use to make it work for us, Irish, in our own country!! Easy peasy!!
It is so unreasonable to continue dragging up a single encounter that has been spun into something it obviously wasn't. Goes to show how strong and appropriate his conduct as minister and Taoiseach have been during his career, that the only slurs available are to attack his character with repetitive, disproportionate, false and vindictive spin
I watch this as a 27 year old emigrant of Bray to Germany - in my room in Berlin for which I pay 380 warm. I work in the financial sector, and make 30% more here than I did in Ireland for what is effectively the same work (if not somewhat of a demotion). The higher taxation here in Germany bring that’s down to around a net equivalence to what I made in Ireland - however I can live far more comfortably here on that wage than I could ever dream of in Ireland. Myself, my twin brother, and 8 or so close school friends have all made the move here for similar reasons. I graduated in the 2020 covid class (International Business and Italian), 7 of the 8 from my graduating class live abroad 4 years after the fact. Ireland has become completely unliveable for a vast swathe of the younger population and unless there is drastic change in Irelands cost of living (spurred by the exorbitant cost of housing), we will all continue to live abroad and contribute our skills elsewhere.
@depaor50 very true irish come first look after our own I'm lucky myself and my wife have a house and I feel sorry for any young irish person trying to buy the price of houses are way to expensive and the pressure of trying to pay the mortgage at a young age or any age any eventually alot of these migrants will walk into new houses payed buy us tax payers and won't work and just laugh at us totally wrong we need to get out and vote these out enough is enough
They spent almost 400.000 on a bike shed .while Cancer patients have to travel from Sligo to Galway on a shaky bus with no toilet . Nonsense is free talking to himself
If they were going to do it then it would have been done in the last four years. They didnt and they won't. They line their own pockets. Lets try someone new, SF and independants.
2 weeks my severely disabled 2 year old who is venerable has had to go and wait 12 hours in a&e because gp no bookings for over a week and the other gp's in town won't take on new patients. Creches in our town are already full till September 2026 yet my niece school taking in class students mid year who have next to no English
Sorry to hear that Alan that's shocking having to go through that I hope this new government look at this and sort it out we have to look after our own first we fought long and hard for our freedom now we give it away
Alan it is disgraceful. And your child is completely reliant on you to mind their needs. Bless your family and we hope things improve.@@alanmooney4343
Any semi competent Statesman would have handled the situation in Kanturk with empathy, sympathy and a touch of charm All false, no doubt, but they would have had the ability to use it to an advantage...because they would be seasoned politicians...this man face planted himself...
Talk talk talk .....When are they going to address the real issues, domestic issues crisis , open borders , health hospital ,doctor crisis , , homeless etc etc etc all the young people leaving the country in droves etc ? Never it seems .
In my opinion and based on my experience, They don't want to engage unless you give them a positive reception. Particularly the big three parties. They hurry away when you complain a out their performance.
Sorry Simon but after FG have been in government for 14 years anything you promise now rings hollow. There are way too many crises in this country thanks to FG and coalition government.

Propaganda pat doing his best to make Harris look somewhat competent.. People are not answering the doors because there sick of Soundbite Simon Harris and his cronies..
People have lost interest in politicians unfortunately..bills and the high cost of living is really catching people .we are sick of politicians talking billions in the bank when the cost of living is crazy and the price for filling my fuel tank oil tank is crazy and the cost of environmentally friendly solutions is insane ..cost of shopping is insane ..cost of dental care is insane on the lady in Cork he should be a seasoned politician we possibly saw the true man when he was placed in a corner .we need a cool calm leader to face Trump and co ..
Another few years of people complaining about the government. Nothing changes except for people leaving the country for Australia. Apparently they have signs up in Sydney askinng people to come home .

A graduate going into childcare does not earn €15.50 per hour. They earn about €12per hour. My wife had to leave the sector because of this. And the answer "they would live in Ireland" is a joke. I get letters through my post box from local childcare school asking can we house their staff because they want to recruit but can't because new hires have nowhere to live.
Still won't talk about wate is causing the housing problems forran nationals forran nationals and more forran nationals aur country is just to small it has to stop and buy the way the housing is just one of problems the list goes on
In regards to housing, nothing will change unless any government elected can change market dynamics from being primarily demand driven to supply side. Anyone who takes a basics econ class will know that government & corporate entities in Ireland have artificially inflated the housing market by driving demand side & not giving supply of housing.
Last year the social housing in north dublin 20 odd properties released to people on the housing list only 5 for irish families rediciouls nonsense nowhere else would let this happen certainly not Poland !
Everyday people losing opportunity and lives and some are just talking - there are many people trying to be a doctors or in healthcare and you need just check what absurd path you need to do re get with IMs + without any words just example Irish people going to different country with children to get treatment-
Same issues you failed to solve while in government despite all the answers pre election last time and here we are again. Not a fit leader of government, he showed the real Simon in Kanturk. Not nice!
I feel like everyone is overly angry
Shouldn't that be justifiably angry?

The PR system is rigged. If the same get in again, there is your proof.

And another batch of slaves to work minimum wage, replace them. Sack all these corporation puppets!!
Spot on
Vote wisely Ireland

This is what is most important!!
Vote wisely & Vote loyalty
“Vote wisely Ireland” is an oxymoronic statement. Ireland only ever votes one way - against itself. The electorate is a bit thick.
Yes, I agree, that's was the way of the past, with dumbed down voters who were manipulated by everyone in power!!
And after everything we have lived with the results of their behaviour & ideologies that they push on us, the people have woken up!!

Easy peasy!!
Hi Pat l'm at home all day and not 1 person canvassing has knocked on my door and they should thank there lucky stars
😂😂👍🍀🍀
their
Why? What were you planning to do to them?
Anyone with a bit of common sense should avoid this politician. He has no leadership qualities and is immature
You built 40,000 homes?? Where are they??? Rents are going up! Lies lies lies!

@@mikemcsweeney768he and they need to be shown up for who they are .NO MORE NICE
Build house is one think, control the price is other thing
All I say to myself when I see an Irish politician being interviewed now is ‘hmm, I wonder if they (OR THEIR PARTNER) are a landlord?
But they voted for a pact with eu to take a minium of 20,000 a year where are they putting them? Can’t sort out 4000 homeless kids
I watch this as a 27 year old emigrant of Bray to Germany - in my room in Berlin for which I pay 380 warm.

Get them all out😂
You didn't mess up Simon! You were being yourself, your instinct & character were shown
All lies don't be fooled
I did a ten week course and paid a guru €8,000 just for that.
Stop saying the people of Ireland we are Irish people
Oh, the people of Ireland certainly do know you, Harris
He messed up on an issue (disability & Carers) he really messed up because he was faced with a real life person who wasn't going to script.
NOT A WORD ABOUT MASS MIGRATION AND THE LOSING OF OUR CULTURE AND COUNTRY
You can bring a horticulture but you can’t make it think!
@depaor50 very true irish come first look after our own I'm lucky myself and my wife have a house and I feel sorry for any young irish person trying to buy the price of houses are way to expensive and the pressure of trying to pay the mortgage at a young age or any age any eventually alot of these migrants will walk into new houses payed buy us tax payers and won't work and just laugh at us totally wrong we need to get out and vote these out enough is enough

Bingo, the mask slipped!
No hope for our children, but hope for the Muslim children
They spent almost 400.000 on a bike shed .while Cancer patients have to travel from Sligo to Galway on a shaky bus with no toilet . Nonsense is free talking to himself
What a joker. Why would you bother to open the door to this trickster.
If they were going to do it then it would have been done in the last four years.
They didnt and they won't.
They line their own pockets.

The teaboy is nervous

Creep from the nightmares.
Trying to see a doctor is a joke have to wait 2 weeks to see 1 this has to be looked at we need a change Vote these out

FG are toast. Don’t deserve to be near a government
This comment aged well
If the people of Ireland vote for this clown, they are doomed.
Any semi competent Statesman would have handled the situation in Kanturk with empathy, sympathy and a touch of charm All false, no doubt, but they would have had the ability to use it to an advantage...because they would be seasoned politicians...this man face planted himself...
Talk talk talk .....When are they going to address the real issues, domestic issues crisis , open borders , health hospital ,doctor crisis , , homeless etc etc etc all the young people leaving the country in droves etc ? Never it seems .
Exactly
You didn't mess up that day Simon....just being yourself!
Newstalk, the governments secondary mouthpiece,to RTE, followed closely by the IRISH slimes
I love when politicians keep asking themselves questions 😂😂
Hospitals are a mess
I'm tired of excuses.....
No he just messed up by showing who he really is
This guy does not undersatnd inflation regarding all topics, housing, immigration,employment laws etc. Put him in the bin.
Spooooooffff spoooooooffff spooooofff and more spooffff,
Ha 😂😂😂
Same lies it just goes on and on ,promise this promise that when elected no interest in talking to the irish people
Weasel!
Ireland's Rishi Sunak, minus the bank account....
In my opinion and based on my experience,
They don't want to engage unless you give them a positive reception. Particularly the big three parties. They hurry away when you complain a out their performance.
I’ll vote for Simon Harris. He’s balancing a lot of competing needs. I think himself and FG are pragmatic enough to keep moving through these changes.
He closed down a hospice in Shankill! Shame of him!
Simon is to passive aggressive and somebody around him needs to school him on thinking before speaking.
He's being trained for 20 years, like blood in the sand.
Sorry Simon but after FG have been in government for 14 years anything you promise now rings hollow. There are way too many crises in this country thanks to FG and coalition government.
Yeah fg gave us a bankrupt country and covid did they clown
PAT got it in one - '... it' s ALL for the builder ' ( nothing for SELF BUILD )
It is plane to see pat Kenny is a real FG man
He still won't give a definite Yes or No as to whether FG contacted RTE to possibly cast aspersions on Charlotte Fallon

Fair play for being honest. A man who never made a mistake, never made anything
Only apologies because it’s ruined him
2 billion on a hospital
We (the people) haven't elected someone since Enda in 2011, this is the Democratic Republic of Ireland
You are obviously a FG voter no matter what.
He’s only owning it cause he was caught on camera - don’t believe a word out of his mouth look at his actions
Lies
Oops pat, you ran out of time, again!!!
He stinks 🦨
"We take a share in the house". Oh dear, wonder how that's gona work out!!
I don't vote for Simons party but I think it's time to give the man a break.
