The problem is nobody believes Simon Harris. He had a chance to remove the means test for carers in the Budget, and he didn't. He is only reacting now because of the backlash because he ran away from a voter challenging him on carers' supports.
Seems like the irish people are forgotten, cares more about standing up for illegals than for irish people whom he claims he represents. That poor lady was reaching out for help and he dressed her down , disgusting.
He did help them. If he did enough is another debate altogether, but incorrect to say they weren't helped, which is exactly what this lady was claiming. As I say, we the public have an obligation to be balanced
@shaymcloughlin5009 Thank you for the honesty. The woman while I'm sure she's a great worker and very passionate about her career, she lied. She claimed that there was nothing in the budget to address disability issues but that's not the case. However, when Simon rightly (albeit lacking in compassion) pointed out that wasn't true he is berated by the public.
You say you were tired after a long day, what do you think the parents of disabled children feel everyday with no extra help, lower than poverty allowance, no holidays, no time to take care of themselves? You are completely ignorant of the issues Mr Harris! Your government has no clue and is all talk and no solutions. I will not be voting for you….
You should be ashamed of yourself. You are two faces. Say one thing and do another. Only in it for yourself. No I know who I won't be voting for. You shouldn't be in government.
Why would any''Real Irish '' voter give him or McEntee their vote.. Both of them are complete wasters and useless. It runs in both their families. Good for nothing and both of them Hate ''Real Irish ''people.
he cant be for real. all this high talk of what he stands for yet walks away from a women who is passionate and stood up against him tellign him he didnt do anything for them . actions speak louder then words and his actions have done nothign to help care givers or even the homeless issue in the country. yet talks a big game but cant walk the walk. time for change
@@LouLou-tl1gv His eyes match McEntee's dead dead dead. And she is a specialists in lying to the ''Real Irish'' people. Just like her useless father that jumped ship when the skeletons started rattling in his closet .
What a horrible man, rude and unprofessional I hope that lady refuses to speak to him he doesn't deserve her time nor his apology to her He is volatile and obnoxious people seen the way that he spoke to Mary Lou MC Donald in the debate it was shocking His true colours have been shown on live tv He cannot take criticism nor can he take confrontation a sign of a coward People have seen through him at last
It’s an insult to people and their carers that he keeps using his brothers disability to pretend that he cares about disability sector/services whilst actively strangling them That’s why he was angry at being confronted lastnight A ghoul, an actual ghoouul
🤡 Dude's a clown. Signed off a ridiculously overpriced $2.2 billion hospital (that still isn't finished yet) when he was Minister of Health. Dude doesn't actually want to get anything done. He's a career politician. He just wants to be employed and do just enough to get paid.
But he'll TRY USE HER NOW FORE A CHAT TO BOLSTER HIMSELF FORNTHER ELCTION BUT DIDNT GIVE HER THE TIME OF DAY OR RESPECT WHEN IN THE SHOP. HE DISMISSED HER SO ARROGANTLY
@sarahmurphy-nf4yl it's easy to control a narrative on TikTok, but when you have no control over the situation, the real side comes out. No doubt his team has been in touch with this lady, to attempt to arrange a meeting in a controlled environment, to mitigate against any damage caused, I hope she refuses to allow herself to be used in this way, by him, or any other political party.
"Government is a trust and the officers of the government are trustees, and both the trust and the trustees are created for the BENEFIT of the PEOPLE.”
It’s not just care workers , it’s all section 39 workers the government should acknowledge, such as the education and training sector that work with people with disabilities, they do more than main stream teachers yet walk home each month in the pay cheque nearly 500 euros less than a secondary school teacher how is that fair , it’s a ridiculous mean thing not to pay people to what they are entitled too.
You regret it because it makes you look bad for your campaign. The same as the man who asked you about immigration. He literally can't debate with anyone so he walks away. That is at least 2 videos I have seen now of him doing this.
"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.” "They that give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” "That GOVERNMENT is BEST which GOVERNS LEAST"
If the people CANNOT TRUST THEIR GOVERNMENT to DO the JOB for which it EXISTS - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is LOST.
He'll TRY USE the women in thw shop NOW FOR A CHAT TO BOLSTER HIMSELF FORNTHER ELCTION BUT DIDNT GIVE HER THE TIME OF DAY OR RESPECT WHEN IN THE SHOP. HE DISMISSED HER SO ARROGANTLY
This is a scandalous response. I too work in care with ppl with autism and Simon was so popular with the parents of the school I worked for and once they helped his campaign and got him elected they learned pretty quickly to dislike Simon for his lack of care towards disability services.
You have never held a job outside politics, from being a counsillor at 21 to a td at 24. What on earth could you possibly understand about the life of a working person. Get a job that pays 500 or 600a week, have a couple of kids, run a car, and then go and buy yourself a house with a bank loan!!, oh, sorry, theres not a bank in the world that would lend to a man on 500 quid a week.or 600 or 700, not enough to buy a house anyway. Your solution, the private markets, "affordable " homes.. Hotel ROOMS , Good old fashioned council houses that are set at a rent that is affordable to a man/woman according to their income is the solution, you know it, but you are idealogically opposed to assisting . To paraphrase the yanks, " not my taoiseach"
4 year waiting list for assessments and no services after assessment you are a disgrace to your brother. my son. and all the children with disabilities your government let's down every day
I dont listen to empty promises i watch whats done and autism has no services not good enough ...not enough schools either and carers and disability and invalidity are disgracefully low paid ....tis great to be a healthy person as in covid times 350 was least required weekly but govt throw pity money at our most needy ....totally digusting it is to be honest ....our govt dont see disability as equal it seems ....i also have to add rural ireland n elderly have no travel no buses or anything there and phone allowances were stoped tis all wrong ...we need a govt that cares for most needy ......not the well off n whats with grants for more babies not enough houses for ones here already .....

Absolutely pathetic. You just see his 'handlers' off camera saying, 'read this Simon'. FFS everyone, surely it's time for change; even if it's a different coalition partner?!
Your absolutely not in the business of helping people with disabilities, look at that state of our services , no early intervention, cdnt have a plus 2 year waiting list for speech & language and occupational therapy, kids have no school places.

Simon Harris you have sold your sole to the establishment. You might say you want to prioritise disability service but your action speak louder than words. You have been in politics for a long time and have done very little to help people with disabilities. You also voted to remove the responsibility and any obligation on the state to support carers. As I say actions speak louder than words.
Hopefully hes gone soon because the way the world is gone the last thing we need is simon "trying" to negotiate with world leaders who actually finish things
This moment is like what happened to Padraig Fylnn when he appeared on the Late Late Show, when his mouth and arrogance get the better him, and ruined his career!!!
It wasn't just the time that was the issue, it was the respect as well. It was very awkward to watch and I can't imagine how bad the lady felt being part of it. It was very unbefitting of a Leader of the country
Such a liar and a hypocrite.... You've been in government 10 years. And minister for Health... Youve done nothing.... My mam is an SNA and went to a meeting about SNA qualifications and pay disparities and minister for education did even show up. Ye are the biggest bunch of wasters. Paying you to bankrupt the normal working person and take care of yourself and friends in high places. The wealthy elite and vulture funds. This apology is meaningless and if you still have a seat after this there is something wrong with this country.
He signed off on loads of money to the Rehab Group for the like of The National Learning Network Centres around this country. It's not more money these type of places need, it's a crack if the whip from the top down due to severe incompetence. 😕

Spot on paddy
Exactly 💯 He only pretends to care because he GOT CAUGHT ON CAMERA 😮
The insincerity of Harris is there to be seen...He is a teaboy
Seems like the irish people are forgotten, cares more about standing up for illegals than for irish people whom he claims he represents. That poor lady was reaching out for help and he dressed her down , disgusting.
A means test is a good way of allocating funds to those that need it. The state isn't supposed to fund everything.
Can literally see him reading a pre written speech.
Arrogant and hypocritical as always from Fine Gael. He's only sorry cos it's been caught on video.
Then he should have helped them in the budget.Action talks
BS walks
He did help them. If he did enough is another debate altogether, but incorrect to say they weren't helped, which is exactly what this lady was claiming. As I say, we the public have an obligation to be balanced

@thisguy976 you working for Harris
He’s obviously anxious now because next week he may well be unemployed because in reality a man with his track record is unemployable!
Little wonder they walk off and turn their backs on the Irish people. Their contempt for us is abhorrent.

You are completely ignorant of the issues Mr Harris! Your government has no clue and is all talk and no solutions. I will not be voting for you….
Your so right
His idea of a long day usually means a long day sitting in leinster house.
This is petty. All humans are capable of being tired, or do you think politicians are robots.
You should be ashamed of yourself. You are two faces. Say one thing and do another. Only in it for yourself. No I know who I won't be voting for. You shouldn't be in government.

Well that apology was disastrous. May have cost him the election.
Caught on camera but it's Nothing new after what you did to Vera Twomey and Family
What was that?? What did he do?
he was also in government when they and the gardai invented abuse allegations to try to silence Maurice mccabe and Jon wilson
It’s an insult to people and their carers that he keeps using his brothers disability to pretend that he cares about disability sector/services whilst actively strangling them
That’s why he was angry at being confronted lastnight
A ghoul, an actual ghoouul
