    They are now trying to be the law and order party but can't answer the simple questions as Vinny proved just now.
    Can't blame them for trying though.

    Don't you think the focus should be on the Parties that actually are pretending to be for Law and Order.

    Why do academics always look the same? I bet this guy has leather patches on the elbows of his jacket.

    The war is over some time ago, are you like VB and are still clinging to the past.
    Move on if you are capable of doing so, or stay with the bigoted past.

    I think all parties should be asked the difficult questions.
    They all deserve them.
    Don't like any of them in truth.

    He answered the question, he just didn't give the answer Vincent wanted.

    He answered nothing. He spluttered and stumbled hoping someone else would speak up and save him. They never answer that hard question.

    So Reilly is going to deduct money from people's welfare to pay for their healthcare? :rolleyes:
    Typical Fine Gael policy.

    No doubt, he was suprised at the question, but he did answer, several times.

    Certainly not, just disgusted that a journalist of VB,(used to be decent) qualities, could try and derail a program to score cheap political points. That is what has held this country back for years, cheap parish pump politicians and their hangers on.

    In a nonsensical fashion.
    None of the SF reps answer that question with a yes or no. ever.

    The SF party really need to sit down and decide on a way to answer that question.
    It has been asked of them often enough and they stutter around an answer all the time.
    Vinny has often stumped them with that same question.

    Because there is no Yes or No answer maybe? Obviously some SF members would condem and others wouldn't. The context is everything.

    Woud Callinan be asked to condemm what happened when Guards didn't do their jobs and what would his condemnation mean to those who suffered anyway...diddly squat. The politics of condemnation are deeply useless and always where.

    It's designed to stump. Enda must be a hero of yours, perhaps if he had answered a few questions in the Dail from SF the Gardai wouldn't be in crisis.

    Surely the party should have an official line?

    I don't know anything about Callinan except that he's too close to the minister.

    Ah the old "throw the insult out" and try to deflect.
    I have no time for Enda as my posting history will prove.

    You heard it several times, you just didn't want to listen to it because it wasn't the one you wanted.

    Do you think he does his office any credit when he resorts to the Vinny badgering in the Dail ad nauseum? SF have a direct mandate to be there asking questions on behalf of those who voted for them.

    Ah no.
    I heard the same old gibberish about a dirty war etc etc.
    It's time they moved into the present and had a specific answer instead of leaving themselves wide open to ridicule and sniggers like they got tonight.
    Seriously.

    Your man sounded like some of the Govt ministers regarding the bugging allegations.

    They are one of the reasons that bitterness and enmity developed between Gardai and the IRA. The 'context' the guy was talking about. But nobody wants to look to closely at FG's boot boys.
