      Frank Feighan for minister for public expenditure, Harris as finance minister, McEntee to foreign affairs. I really wish departments could be headed by people with experience in the areas

      Surely he can’t juggle this, being Táiniste & posting on social media.

      This is the guys who came out and said that economics was complicated and the electorate didn’t understand it and admitted he didn’t understand either.

      We are fucked, someone totally unqualified in charge being advised by corporate shills.

      We should just call ourselves the Republic of GOOGLE and bow down to our corporate overlords.

      At least the GPD’s look good.

      Fucking hell. The fella that oversaw the new maternity hospital is taking over? Time to start stuffing our mattresses again.

      I wish Mr Harris well, and I’m sure that he will be just as effective as he was in Health, Higher Education, Defence and Foreign Affairs.

      I think Harris was so genuinely afraid of giving anyone else in his cabinet (other than McEntee, he knows she’s nowhere near electable as leader) a promotion to either Finance or FA because it would instantly give them a healthier position to topple him in a years time. This way, he feels is safer for him politically.

      Be under no doubt, all party politics is now is about careers and advancement

      Does he have any real world work experience let alone a background even remotely related to what would be required? Private sector wouldn’t even interview him for a similar role, they’d laugh at the fact he even submitted a CV.

      This fella dropped out of college and is now Minister of Finance 😂

      Slight change to the line up, same results…promote the business class, ignore the overall population, failings and cost of living, and sell it as a success no matter what.

      Same old story from a different perspective, it won’t change anything for alot of people out there.

      In fairness they get good ppl for finance usually. He appears like he hasn’t the faintest clue on economics. Do FG not have an accountant they could get in there ?

      Power grab from Harris. If he had of put in Peter Burke and he looked the business Harris would be out the door in pissing time.

    22. Sad-Orange-5983 on

      McEntee in Foreign Affairs and Defense. This country is an absolute joke.

    24. feedthebear on

      Why does one person resigning require such a large reshuffle. It makes no sense that you now have a handful of people taking on new portfolios.

    25. Friendly_Tower_5712 on

      This is actually scary mental. I dont trust Si to tie his own shoes, nevermind be in charge of the countries finances. Jesus Chris, how to you fail so far upwards! It boggles my mind.

    26. Lazy-Common4741 on

      I wonder how many Irish politicians have been Taoiseach, Tánaiste, Minister For Justice, Finance, Health and Foreign Affairs?

    27. GAA2025 on

      Should Jack Chambers not be minister as he was deputy finance minister to Pascal? Poor but better than Simon Harris by a good margin.

    28. JMcDesign1 on

      God help us all. These clowns are going to prove that it can get worse.

    29. asdrunkasdrunkcanbe on

      Lads, what do we think it is about McEntee? I try to be pretty on the level in terms of parties and politicians, I don’t hate FFG just because they’ve been in government, I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

      But McEntee is a perfect example of failing upwards. She took over her late father’s seat on a sympathy vote, she had no major political background or experience, and she just been continually assigned bigger and bigger portfolios and done absolutely fuck all with them.

      Why?

      So the guy behind the children hospital scandal and he who said “Covid 19 is more transmissible then the first 18” is now in charge of finance. This fuckin’ country man.

    33. FewHeat1231 on

      I hear he has a brilliant plan to sell the country for magic beans.

    34. thisismytruename on

      Simon in the minister for finance position is genuinely a scary prospect.
