In fairness, I cant see records where FF, FG or Labour called for release of cold blooded murderers within the last 10 years.

4 leading economists scoffed at FF/FG house building figures only last week. Are they any more credible.

Before we even mention the dearest hospital on the planet, the dearest broadband which will be outta date by the time it's finished etc etc etc.

SF's behaviour toward the Mc Cabe family was deplorable. But they have handled it in a dignified way. Their request is not to vote SF. I respect their decision, after all, this was a person murdered simply doing their job. It could have been any of us. But yet SF campaigned for the murderers without a shred of respect for the McCabe family.

They don't like it mentioned now as the truth hurts.

Nothing to do with cheap points - they supported and campaigned for murderers, why would you expect people to forget or excuse their conduct.

Fianna Fail practically destroyed this country, resulting in massive debt, emigration and devastation. What about the people that took their own lives during and in the years after the mess that FF left behind them?

dont vote for FF, FG or Labour then

None of those parties had one of their politicians greet a Garda killer leaving prison. It sickens me the way Walsh and that gang were welcomed by their friends at Castlerea.

This is great that SF are leading the polls, if we do go out and send a message to FF/FG I'll be very proud of the Irish electorate. God Leo is bad enough but how anyone could want that gobsh*te Martin as Taoiseach is beyond me, he comes across as a bitter vindictive little man in his manner of speaking.

again - the time frame is more important than the action. enough of the emotional heartstring tugging.

Mainstream politicians have stood in courts and given character references to rapists and wife beaters also.

But want is the message we are sending? More unsustainable spending? Narrow the tax base? Anything else?

You realise by voting Sinn Fein you are putting MeHole in as Taoiseach?

So you're saying vote for Leo to keep MM out. Am I reading this right?

Recent past then.

20 years.

30 years.

The problem with SF and their supporters is that they are full of excuses.

So? Him and Leo are both the same as far as I’m concerned. We have to break this stupid merry go round.

Yes, that is a fair point.

And? They are scumbags. And some politicians have held kangaroo courts getting victims to confront their accused. Just like the Catholic church. Not going to the authorities.

I am not a fan of SF or Mary Lou but Brian Dobson was disgraceful in that interview . He kept interrupting her asking questions then not allowing her answer . I actually think she could well have gained votes from it as people saw through the tactics shown

Is there a link to this interview anywhere?

They're really the IRA though, right?

Luckily SF can't get in on their own as they are not contesting enough seats.

They're playing to a naive set of people with their ridiculous spending promises that are just not sustainable. Also quite scary how many younger voters don't associate SF with the IRA and the past (Mary Lou will be loving that). Dumping Gerry Adam's as he had baggage might just be paying off for them unfortunately.

If you think we are ****ed now, any government with SF in it will become useless very quickly.

The merry go around will be a FF led government , the party who destroyed this country

SF cannot win this election.

Why vote SF and put mehole in

The scaremongering from FF and FG and their supporters is getting quite tiresome now. Reeks of desperation.
