It was dissappointing to learn this evening that Tipperary Independent Deputy Mr Michael Lowry has become the latest TD to demonstrate he is out of touch regarding the Covid-19 pandemic. His remarks come on a day when Norway’s Foreign Minister states that his country is imposing a 10-day quarantine on travellers from Ireland, due to rising Covid-19 cases here in our Republic.
Deputy Lowry is calling on the Government to reconsider the decision to hold sporting events behind closed doors; stating that the decision, based on advice from NPHET, makes no sense or no logic.
Mr Michael Lowry; Mr Jackie Cahill (Latter who publicaly claims he has “the ear of An Taoiseach Mr Micheál Martin”), and Mr Alan Kelly, none of whom sit at the Cabinet table, should now sit down or buy a newspaper once in a while, and view the real world or if you have the ability, view the following links, before Micheál Martin looks for his ear back:-

Time to stop your populist thinking crap guys; as you appeal to the ordinary electorate, giving the latter a feeling that their concerns are being disregarded by an established elite government, latter which two of you, above named, claim you fully support.
