A Fianna Fail comeback would be much more palatable than to have to listen to the constant Sinn Fein hypocrisy

Old Sinn Feinn, as in Adams and McGunniess were those whom people linked to IRA and terrorist activities, not your man on with VB last night or Pierce or May lou. Those 3 along with others were meant to be a "new" Sinn Feinn without blood on their hands, but alas this past few days has shown them to be no better then those who have gone before.

And funny isn't it how you choose not to address the issue of child abuse that I mentioned in my post? Don't have a defence to that one? Because voters are going to be slow to forget about it, and even if a few were to forget, they'll soon be reminded whenever an issue of child safety/wellbeing emerges again.

Your clutching at straws if you think Sinn Feinn aren't in serious trouble. Fianna Fail are going to make a comeback whether we like it or not. And when even more light is shone upon Sinn Feinn's economic policies, their going to have little to stand on aside from ideologies of a united Ireland.

Get with the times, Ireland is United as far as the majority of people are concerned. Once there is peace nobody in the real world gives a crap about any of the other trivial stuff.;)

A good post mind as you go and do not get into any scrapes here, just tell your truth politely and avoid any argument, there are too many people here spoiling for a fight, avoid them at all costs.

So Ireland has been voted by Forbes magazine as the number one country in the world to do business in.

So what will VB do

a .....chose to ignore it.
b......have someone like Richard Boyd Barrett on the show to try and scupper any sense of optimism about the facts and our future.

I bet VB would pay a lot to get Michael Lowry on the show, but I guess that you just can't buy Michael Lowry .

She certainly needs to be invited back.

Sherlock is such a spoofer. They should've ditched him if he was supposed to be on for something else tonight.

Mandela tributes could easily descend into Seamus Heaney over the top tributes.

The women striking in Dunnes in the 80s is story that interests me. That been mentioned yet?

Harry Angstrom

Vinnie extolling the hagiography of Nelson Mandela tonight despite the fact that he was imprisoned for violent terrorist activity, though he seemed quite appalled by the violent terrorist activity in the North over the past couple of nights' shows........

take everything

Good old Louis Theroux meeting his porno friends on RTE 1 btw.
Sobering documentary.
Love Louis and his facetious approach.

Dunnes Boycott was a sham, the lefties love to mention it when talking about Mandela. It never worked, Dunnes supplier just sourced fruit from a packhouse in Zimbabwe that straddled the border, taking fruit one end from South Africa and coming out as Zimbabwe.

Hitchens

didn't the rugger boys go to SA on tour during the apartheid period?

You are dead right, this country is full of people that try to out do each other on the condolences they make. It would be a good program for the elite to compete on such an issue. Fook it would be a threat to X Factor. It could be called can you grovel to reach your score.

It was an act of solidarity. A rare thing in Ireland.

Ah, but they always said that politics and sport shouldn't mix. That was the IRFU excuse for the junket to South Africa

Plenty of cricket teams too including some West Indians, good money for players not good enough for the main team.

Stanley Mattews also use to coach in South Africa. All the major sports broke Apartheid.

vicwatson

Sean Kelly rode there iirc

Hitchens

some are saying that Mandiba is the greatest person of all time, but to say he is greater than Bono is stretching it a tad

Harry Angstrom

There's something wrong with Jerry's mike.

Harry Angstrom

Jenny looks a bit like Amanda Holden.

What exactly did he achieve for his people, the new society in South Africa are the wealthy blacks living it up, and the whites living in their compounds, the police force have not changed, and the people Mandela claimed to represent, nothing has changed for them. Big liberator, think about all the miners that were murdered a few months back. Could you please show me evidence of change that this great hero done.

Agree completely with you. The plight of the poor South African black man and woman hasn't changed much since the days of apartheid. If anything, it's gotten worse.
