3. I’ve performed for you @LeoVaradkar I hope you had a lovely evening and it provided some release from the political rat race, perhaps lifted your spirits or raised the blood in you to have some glorious debates over its story with friends, maybe even taught you something.
4. But as I sit in the family home my parents BROKE THEIR BONES for, in order to provide for us, get us through school, college and life with a roof over our heads in hope that we would get the chances they didn’t, that we would have an Ireland that they didn’t. I’m ashamed.
5. I’m troubled how would like me to perform via my personal Facebook/ insta in order, it would seem, to gain your respect / SURVIVE? Should I lock my parents stuck in isolation in the hot press?My house is tiny where should I perform to the standards I’ve worked hard to keep up?
6. Should I ask my dad to build a studio? I mean he has workers hands from years and years of hard labour, oh yes by the way @LeoVaradkar he is still working like a dog. how many more forms should I fill out? HOW MANY MORE? Do you have any idea what that’s like? Would destroying!
7. Under your government @josephamadigan artists are already severely vulnerable how else would you like us to expose ourselves during a fearful glodbal pandemic? Should we get down on our knees and beg for appreciation / support / humanity? Is that the live feed you are after?
8. Is it impossible for you lot to understand not everyone has the same lifestyle/access to facilities/ wealth/circumstances? If so you should ACTUALLY check out our culture, our history, plays,films,songs,novels,poetry,dance etc I grantee they all tell stories you need to hear.
9. Please @LeoVaradkar clarify ANY of the ill informed, poorly executed treatment of 1 of your most necessary resources right now with your #connectwithculture Shite! Happy to sit down, have a cup of tea, you and your mr. Taoiseach cup me and my little miss taken for granted cup
10. Ps top tip from a performer. I respectfully offer this, try some honesty in your charade of a performance, people tend respond better to that! #leovaradkar
Lads I’m real angry, so forgive the missing words and banjaxed order but the sentiment remains. I hope that comes across clear... PPS @LeoVaradkar just so you know WE ARE DYING TO GO BACK TO WORK, PITY YOU MAKE IT SO IMPOSSIBLE FOR HALF OF US TO WORK IN OUR NORMAL WORLD!
@SimonHarrisTD as you appeal for people to stay home remember how culture is providing much needed peace/escapism in supporting that cause as you talk about mental health remember how culture forms are already battling to ease the hearts and minds of this world. Have some respect
