BEFORE 2020, AN address to the nation from the Taoiseach was a relative rarity.
Now, no matter what time of the day you switch on the telly, no matter what channel you watch, there’s sure to be one on.
That might be a slight exaggeration, but still, Covid announcements at the start of the Six One are a dime a dozen these days.
Let’s test your knowledge of the addresses, new and old.

A right question: Which ‘leader’ of the above sanctioned a raid, illegal in my view, on every private pension account in Ireland. Hint, four times the schoolteacher did this. Probably the most reprehensible action in the history of the state.
@der Fussballmeister: Ye mean the horrible rotund man who also chased a dying women through the courts, Among other things yet nothing was taking from his pensions.
@Dave Byrne: Yes, and along with that poor woman and ripping off the private pension fund he took away the bereavement grant of €850, might not have been a lot but it helped families with expensive funeral costs. That man has now sailed off with his big fat pension .But then again the rest of them up in Dail Palace looked on and are equally as bad. Just remember this at the next election. Its all bloody disgusting.
@der Fussballmeister: you a solicitor ? Why don’t you head off to the high court with your illegal claims
@Seán O’Sullivan: If he dipped his gruppy paws into your credit union account, would your regard as theft???
Did you have to put that leaks head in it he is not nor never will be a leader
@Marty Lawless: not only was he , he is about to be reelected as taoiseach
@Seán O’Sullivan: Go grab your pom poms you government cheerleader!
So much for any of their state of the nation addresses, the truth is they and their governments got the nation in to this state, by and large, my favourite line is when they say “Thank you and goodnight” and they hastily exit before any questions are asked. Do you remember being told when you were young that anyone can become President, now you know ( to our cost) they weren’t being funny. As Doug Larson once said “Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks.” .
How much do you know about addresses to the nation?
Enough to know that these days, they are all made by spokesman instructed to further the Global Corporate Political Governance Agenda….. The same one driving the Empire Banker’s UN Agenda 2030′s Sustainable Development Goals, which seeks to ridicule, shame and eradicate any system which might result in positive national interests at local/national level (SF will be no different either) over self destructive virtue signalling causes.
