a lot ever since. Depending on where you are, turnaround can be very quick. Cork City seems to be the place to be for the fastest dosing. I've seen multiple people reporting that they registered on say, Wednesday this week and got their appointment for this Saturday.

Shoehead posted:How are you registering? Via the HSE portal - https://vaccine3.hse.ie/s/login/SelfRegister It's still on 40+ but it'll hopefully move to 35+ in the next week or so - it seems to take a couple of weeks after each age group opens up for the next to open. Also, Ive heard online that getting the update texts can be a bit hit or miss so once you get registered, it's a good idea to log back in every day to check for updates.

I tried registering and they told me that someone else was registered using my pps and now i have to wait until they investigate it even though it was probably some old typing in the wrong number.

Givan is probably the biggest eat poo poo option going, he's p despised for his decision as communities minister to cancel the lìofa gaeltacht bursary scheme which was probably one of the biggest triggers for the last assembly collapse. It usually gets blamed entirely on cash for ash but SF kind of fumbled their reaction to that and it was public outrage among their supporters over the lìofa scheme being done away with leveraged by an dream dearg into a wider movement over the failure to secure an Irish language act that really lit the fire under SF to pull out (and became the crux of their subsequent assembly campaign). He still needs confirmed after Foster tenders her resignation and there was some mumbled talk of an early election if SF decide that Givan is too toxic and they refuse to nominate a deputy candidate. Seems unlikely though, Poots went out of his way to reiterate the DUP are still committed to Irish language legislation of some description as previously negotiated so it's likely Givan will be allowed to assume his position - though he's definitely not a popular pick for nationalists.

https://twitter.com/ReadaCronin/status/1402912858367840256 State of journalism in this country with all the journalists outraged yesterday and aghast that SF carried out political polls. So many of them were definitive in claiming it's not standard practice look like eejits this morning. Suppose that's what happens when journalists are hired on the basis of which politician is their relative.

 Because they claim to be badges from "an independent organization that is dedicated to the compiling of accurate political and social information in Ireland". For an organization that doesn't exist. Its attempting to represent the people carrying out the polls as being from a fake organization, in an effort to mask who was actually gathering the information. When the people doing so were actually SF members, doing official party business, on orders from headquarters.

That's standard practice for every political party, though. You may think it is immoral, but there is honestly little wrong with it. They aren't collecting any personal information beyond opinions, so there is no real concern of data being used incorrectly or hijacked. You also cannot just go to someone's door or call them up and say "Hi, I am from Sinn Fein/Fianna Fail/Fine Gael and I am doing an opinion poll" because you are just going to get completely biased opinions straight off the bat. You are putting yourself at risk of getting completely trash data. I worked in a polling place and we were not able to give out the name of the company who we were polling for - political party or institution, it did not matter - until the end of the call because of how it influenced people's answers. Regardless, this is a complete non-scandal and it is astonishing how many so-called political journalists have run with the story. Literally every major party does this, and the minor parties would absolutely do it also if they had access to the resources. This isn't even a uniquely Irish thing! It is universal widespread practice!

For an organization that doesn't exist. And fine Gael printed fake business cards to do internal polling and I doubt it's much different for the others. It's a big hullabaloo about nothing in my opinion. People are acting like there's an ethical difference between polling for yourself pretending to be a company versus paying for a company to poll for you. Materially there's no difference IMO.

Personally I think inventing a fictious independent market research company to cover private polling is a bit dodgy, the fact everyone was clearly at it doesn't really make it grand. Considering the amount of indirect political campaigning you can do through leading structured questions it could border on concealing doorstepping through misrepresentation. At least nominally private companies are meant to adhere to industry guidelines to avoid explicitly plugging viewpoints (how much they do so again a bit unknown with private polling) but with the Totally Real Not Fine Gael Board of Market Researchers who would really like to hear your opinions on this quote from the local SF candidate we found on twitter it's not even remotely accountable.

The funny part of all this is the media we're doing this because they had evidence it was SF doing so. And they thought "we can use this to bring back up that whole polling database story from a few weeks ago* and really get the boot in." But then it turns out that publishing the story just made every political party tug their collars and say "we all do it. So we won't really comment." * = The electoral database thing is funny. From my understanding all the big parties, basically do have pretty accurate electoral databases they have built up organically though participating and monitoring elections from the last 70 plus years.

That just makes both parties (and FF, since they've also been engaging in similar shenanigans) equally guilty. It'd be great to see all three get fined heavily for fraud, or data mismanagement, over it. At least something just to discourage this sort of sketchy lying to the public.

They should really write something into law because it doesn't sound like it's against it right now. It's definitely shady as gently caress but I can't see anything coming out of it because this was just muck raking and nobody really intended anything more than that and it blew up in a lot of their faces when they had to admit to doing the same thing.

Nothing can stop them setting up polling agencies but it should be a legal requirement for them to declare who commissioned a poll.

So its still SF that are the only left-wing party to have engaged in it. SF and FG appear to have been the most organized, and centrally planned, doing it too. It'll be interesting to see if there GDPR issues for the party headquarters in both cases as a result.

A number of my friends are 40+ and registered two weeks ago have still not gotten vaccinated yet. Even if the 30-39 opens, I'm not expecting to get a jab until July at this rate.
