It’s not good enough to say that #kildarelockdown worked. We need to understand why it happened in the first place and learn crucial lessons to prevent such wide lockdowns again @CathMurphyTD
This week Noel Grealish was outgoing chair of the Oireachtas golf club, when 81 guests from all over the country, including Minister Darragh Calleary, went on the piss together in Galway.

Noel Grealish in the past, claimed that people seeking asylum in Ireland are here to "sponge off the system".
In 2008 Darragh Calleary opposed a direct provision centre in his area because it would "drive tourists away".

Fast forward to this week & we've a situation where some people who demonised asylum seekers, left them in dreadful conditions, where Covid19 could spread rapidly, are having a jolly in Galway while the virus runs riot in Direct Provision centres.
There's a risk of losing goodwill by not having a more sophisticated approach. Frustration that Govt have dropped the ball on high-risk locations. @CathMurphyTD @thisweekrte #KildareLockdown #offalylockdown #laoislockdown
Very difficult to ask other businesses to close when meat plants, the origin of the problem, remain open. Meat plants are high-risk environments and need a much greater targeted approach. @CathMurphyTD @thisweekrte #KildareLockdown #offalylockdown #laoislockdown
