The Daily PollSINN FÉIN’S DEPUTY leader has said that Ireland needs a general election.
Mary Lou McDonald made the comments as Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar met with the Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin this afternoon.
Martin has said his party will abstain in the Dáil vote to make Varadkar Taoiseach next week.
However, McDonald wasn’t happy with the private meetings, saying “this is not the way the country should be governed … I think we need an election.”
So we’re asking, do you think we need an election?

It’s only right we help out after all we have a large Filipino community here in Ireland paying taxes working mostly in healthcare.
I don’t think we’d have begrudged a million considering there’s over two million people affected and it’s a Roman Catholic country on Christmas week. (not that the type matters but its terrible timing). Actually, did the Vatican send any aid by chance?
@Watchful Axe: What does it matter if it’s a catholic country or not?
And the “WE SHOULD LOOK AFTER ARE OWN FIRS” Will be along in 3….2……1
@Tommy Berry: what’s wrong with our FIRS?
@Tommy Berry: the next recession when this all have to be paid back will turn those who work will be turned into endentured slaves, the wise ones will emergrate, the rest will ride the system as usual from the warmth of their beds
@Gerard Heery: If yf you know people riding the system, report them.
@Tommy Berry: don’t get me started ha
The disabled in this country are told there is no money to help you and new schemes they were promised in 2013 that would help disabled people become mobile are still ongoing but they can send money out of the country on a whim … not that I begrudge then they deserve it but start helping out vulnerable too.
Good to assist but please make sure it gets to those who need it most through reputable NGO’s.
I am also wondering why the story about the ex-president of the Ukraine being accused of treason is blocked for comments if it was about Trump being charged I doubt that comments would be closed.

Good call. Direct it through NGOs. Sadly, huge amounts of aid contributed after Typhoon Yolanda went missing.
Extremely low level of assistance for this situation. I would have considered a Million€ as a minimum amount to donate. Be interesting to see other comments
250,000 is like a packet crisps
We must do all we can to help the people.
have your say
