    Leo loves himself.

    Funny reaction when he wasn't as fit as he thought!

    Completely different systems, different politics, even a different culture if you will. SF are a different party on each side of the border in reality.

    They're an all Ireland party, MLMcD is the president of the party island wide. They're the one party. Don't take it from me, take it from themselves, like I already said.

    Leo needs to be ripped to shreds here....

    Leo bears no responsibility for the state of the health service whatsoever. The people of Ireland are to blame for that. They want jobs, they want inefficiency, they want crummy hospitals in every corner of the country. Until they face up to this fact, there is no point critiising the politicians for not being able to improve it.

    Was it reported ? I hadn’t heard that reported so was surprised to hear that number quoted.

    Sorry, misread date, it's from a year ago.

    https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/20000-northern-ireland-households-are-now-homeless-37719853.html

    Most articles other when I search for the numbers seem to reference homeless death stats.

    They said they could do that, and everything else..

    Like it or not, they knew about those problems when they took over, and they still had (counting on fingers.. 1, 2, 3...) 9 years..
    That hasn't changed.

    How can we have any confidence in him?

    He did.

    MM health answer much stronger than Leo's . Treatment purchase fund is hugely effective to be fair and will immediately help waiting lists.

    Leo is clearly, clearly stumbling/faltering here trying to get a dig in about the North.

    McDonald in fairness to her stayed calm, let him go off on his incomprehensible rant, and calmly reminded him that the purse strings to the north are held by the UK govt, and challenged him to make sure take it up with the UK govt. :D

    And the North is by far the most highly subsidised region of the UK

    They have pushed austerity up here, whilst being populist in Ireland and promising everything to everyone.

    I'm no fan of theirs but that's the craic. They're like Tesco with their separate divisions in ROI and UK.

    Oh yeah, and she was probably better off never having getting an invite, easily could play it to their advantage. But appearing in the debate, based on the latest polls, can only i believe have them drop in popularity.

    Wouldn't be so sure of that
    people are rightly pissed off
    They want change ….it happens to be SF.

    Leo is full of it, talking of homelessness in UK, WTF

    It's relevant as they have a similar society to us but per head of capita they are far worse than we are when it comes to homelessness. There are 90 rough sleepers in Dublin vs 9000 in london
