Salads and cycling aren’t weird: Taoiseach comes to Eamon Ryan’s defence amid Dáil criticism

  1. The thing about Ryan is that the people are just so sick of his shite that even the reasonable things he says are greeted with howls of derision because everyone has just decided he’s a wanker and not listening to him.

  2. >“We need a full debate on agriculture and on the attack that’s going on rural Ireland… ye are on a different planet,” said McGrath, adding Tánaiste Leo Varadkar’s remarks to the Fine Gael parliamentary party that removing turf cutting would be like taking away wine from the French.

    And that debate begins and ends with absolutely nothing should change for these people.

  3. It’s embarrassing to see the level of what passes for parliamentary debate at times.

    Food shortages as a result of the war (not to mention food scarcity as a result of the crippling rise in the cost of living that will leave many ordinary people to choose between eating and heating next winter) will not be solved by planting lettuce on window sills.

    Likewise with the cycling; it’s all very well to discourage the use of cars and promote cycling but it’s putting the cart before the horse.
    First of all you need decent public transport covering the entire country, which is something that Ireland simply does not have.

  4. To be fair putting on a lycra outfit and pretending you’re in the tour de france is pretty weird.

    And before yee all start, im aware that many cyclists are just normal people going to work and arent like that.
