She taught English

Education is the worst brief to have other than Health. Imagine trying to keep every cunt of a Karen parent in Ireland happy.
No win no matter what you do.

I think the media took a dislike to Minister Foley but took a liking to Minister McEntee
Do you think being incompetent v competent respectively would have anything to do with it?
It could you know
Go away will ya. She is the hide and seek champion of the current cabinet. Utterly useless. Iām really surprised with you here as you are a teacher.

I like her to be honest, tough job but I think sheās genuine, I havenāt noticed what youāve said but I donāt follow it religiously. Iāve heard her being interviewed loads of times and Iām usually impressed.
When did she hide?
I donāt think me being a teacher should matter though?
Jesus Christ surely you cant have forgotten the pandemic nonsense she played such a central part in. At some stages other government members had to speak for her she was so out of her depth.

Iāve a bad memory sometimes,
Will you remind me of what youāre referring to?
Youāre on the wind up, well played sir 
Iām not
I just thought you being a teacher would have you more tuned in to the goings of an Education minister more so than the Minister of Agriculture.
She hid during the pandemic for months. Other colleagues went out to bat regarding details of the state exams and predicted grades. Her handling of that situation was pathethic. She is great for a press release on soft days like LC results or when the exams start in June.
I believe she was promoted above her ability due to her long standing friendship with Micheal Martin.
I just find her useless. There were Education ministers in the past who I could not stand but did respect as they had the courage to try change things. Ruari Quinn being one.

She doesnāt appear to be making any attempts for equal pay either.

Jesus, thatās shocking.
She hid for months? Other ministers were sent out to bat on issues within her brief?
If I believed all that as presented there Iād probably change my tune alright
Economics but she hadnāt a degree in it. Sheās a daughter of Ansbacher Foley who had a fair grasp of fiscal matters and taxation issues*
- For issues see avoidance.

Itās pretty much bang on. I donāt understand how you think sheās good in interviews either, sheās really really poor. The slightest follow up question flusters her completely.

Sheās completely out of her depth herself and Egghead will be dropped from the cabinet in December

At least she always acknowledged it before going around in more roundabouts.
Iād bet big money that she wonāt be denoted
