Sinn Fein Richest Party on the Island of Ireland

Will Sinn Fein be allowed to use this money north and south or just in the north does anyone know?

Some folk sniff an election. Where's the SD's are useless thread? or 'Fianna Fail, a disater!...when not in partnership with FG' thread?

I think money will help for advertising but folk have their idea of what each party offers.

Don't think maccored has ever hidden the fact that he is a member of SF, in fairness.

15 odd years later and we're still waiting on that 'proof' that the 'Ra robbed the northern bank. Trimble didnt want to talk to SF at the time but politically had to. then the robbery happened and Trimble no longer had to talk to SF. Doesnt take a genius to work out what actually happened.

So Trimble’s aides sent some of the stolen money down to Cork in Daz boxes?

the RUC set aside 50 grand which was found in their gym .... thems the facts. Yer man in cork was jailed for being an IRA member - not charged with laundering money to do with the bank robbery. Ted Cunningham on the other hand was done for money laundering but wasnt charged with being in the IRA. As I say - 15 years later and still not an ounce of evidence to point to the IRA

My question I was will this huge windfall enable SF to win more seats?

Don't think so. People will still love SF or have a strong dislike for them. No amount of money or advertising is ever going to change that.

If SF don’t think it will have any impact on the ability of the party to fight future elections why not donate the money to a mental health or homeless charity?

That would be a nice gesture but SF are more into receiving than giving.

Like any political party ever funneled donations to charities.

You do realise that your vote, even a third or fourth could get them elected? Is it any different than giving them your first preference? Lucky for SF that people don't vote based on policy. If that was the case, they wouldn't get a vote from anyone who works and earns more than €37K.



Laugh at them for doing what exactly?

Some people put more thought into voting than 'how much will this directly affect me in my pocket?'

Democracy is a societal construct, it isn't supposed to be carte blanche to the most self-serving who think nothing of society.

I think money will help for advertising but folk have their idea of what each party offers.

With six or seven threads on Fine Gael, and one on Sinn Fein, I think we can pretty much determine which folk are sniffing an election and getting their digs in (and it is not FG supporters, or the ludicrous, laughable and silly idea that there are FG bots on here).

The Social Democrats are pointless, nothing different or new to offer, just a home for some ex-Labour people who couldn't get on with the previous leadership. what's left of them will be back in Labour after the election.

As for the Sinn Fein money, as someone else suggested earlier in the thread, finding this man's accounts all over the world is a good way to safely launder what's left of the Northern Bank money that wasn't used to build house extensions all over Dublin for former IRA men.

Which party has the most money?
How do I join?
How long will I be waiting on my house extension afterwards?

Friend of mine worked on a few of them in Dublin 7. About as much proof as anyone posts on here.

When it is SF or the IRA, an allegation is enough for blanch, the alleged is guilty by dint of his suspicions. Enda Kenny used operate on the same 'principle' - make the allegation the dirt will stick.

If it is the British, the DUP, FG or anyone else, full form proof in triplicate is required.

Gas really.

I reckon this came just in time for SF as their £26m previous "donation" was running out.

I appreciate that but the money was willed specifically to Sinn Fein Northern Ireland, whose registered office is the same as Southern Sinn Fein in Parnell Square.

I was of the opinion that SF in the different jurisdictions cannot simply pool resources and have to make separate and individual returns re funding, election spending etc to the relevant authorities.

It's not as if it is hard for blanch to do the right thing about his 'friend'.

His pal is probably a good Republican Green

Donations to political parties are monitored. Are inheritances due the same diligence? Just wondered.

Probably different rules North and South though.
