1. What am I supposed to do with this information?

2. Oh no!

   ….

   Anyway

3. Oh shit.

4. Well I’ve never… I’ve never. Tony, I’m putting you on my list of enemies. There. You’re in for it now, Tony.

5. >took ownership

   It was his own account and he changed the name during covid. He is no longer CMO so changed it back

6. Well Holy God!

7. Was it originally his personal account?

   There are no tweets to or from @CMOIreland [before 2012](https://i.imgur.com/eIAPdnE.jpg) although the account is from 2009. Was it originally his account and then taken up as the CMOIreland account after the fact?

   Would explain why he was able to walk off with it.

8. If we were still in “daily/weekly Covid press conferences” mode, this would be an issue.

9. Blame elon

10. Honestly I don’t know whether I’m more angry with him or with cyclists with no high viz or lights now that it’s getting dark

11. Could OP confirm if this was his account that he called CMO IRELAND while he was the CMO of Ireland?

    And if it was can OP please relax.

12. You’ve made it sound like the new CMO has to build up a following like an influencer. It’s not really that deep

13. Mate take a day off FFS

14. OPs the type to remind the teacher to assign homework when schools nearly over

15. Funny how much time anti vaxxers spent talking about moving on from covid and yet here we are coming in to 2023 and they are still obsessed. Government didn’t try to take over the world and the vaccine was safe, let it go and get on with your life.

16. How did that make you feel, caller?

17. According to others, it was Tony’s personal account which he changed to CMO during Covid and just changed it back now as he’s no longer CMO. If this is the case, it’s totally acceptable.

    OP, do you know if that’s the case?

18. Can we make a version of this sub without general moaning and rage-bait?

19. Oh…

20. Lads my pitchfork is getting fixed, anyone have a spare?

21. Fuck Tony Holohan.

22. Good for him. He did a great job

23. Fact check: it was always his fecking account ffs. It was never an official account.

24. What about the DeputyCMO account? Does Ronan Glynn still the password for that?

25. I’m embarrassed for the op

26. The guy who posted this has swiss cheese for brains and wants peoppe to get mad, I dont like Tony Holohan but this shit falls to basic misinformation and namedragging

27. Who gives a fuck

28. Ok but what about the social distancing

29. I dislike him tbh, but if it was his own account he did nothing wrong here.

30. Fair play to him.

31. Think of the children, call An Garda Síochána, arm yourself, fortify your home, call Joe Duffy
