    I was in Limerick Hospital this week,
    I don't have the words to describe what I seen there, it will stay with me for a long time.
    That was it for me.
    I got up early this morning & on way to work,
    I voted for Sinn Fein.

    Fair play but Sinn Finn will only make things worse if they get into government.

    Was it somebody who opposed their military wing in a bed with no kneecaps ?

    Fine Gael are dismal on health, this their's to carry. I'd like to take a look at your crystal-ball to see into this SF future.

    We all pay taxes and bust our ass to fund a health service that sees our loved ones and neighbors on trolleys. FG needs to own it and accept the kicking they're going to get today.

    In what way are you expecting SF to resolve it?
    In what timeframe will these magical changes happen?


  • Registered Users Posts: 17,853 ✭✭✭✭Idbatterim


    yeah I know a good few, previous FG voters, believed the reward the early risers lie and are fcucked by this housing crisis in dublin. They didnt put their names down on the housing list over a decade ago, to get the likes of the luxury free apartments now being given out. Because nobody could have reasonably foreseen this housing farce!

    Nope. Never have, never will.

    I’m considering it, also mainly to see if anyone can improve the Health Service


  • Registered Users Posts: 771 ✭✭✭munstergirl


    Just voted, did not vote for SF, FF, FG or the Greens.

    Very little left to choose from.

    Did you listen to the leaders debate on RTE ?

    They all signed on and support SlainteCare, a 10 year plan.

    https://www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/slaintecare-implementation-strategy/

    So, punishing Fine Gael is attacking the wrong people.... a calling card of SF/IRA.

    I visited an old friend today. Havent seen him since 1987.
    He would be 51 today, except that he was murdered by friends of an elected politician.

    Then I voted.

    I'm sorry, but this is all I can visualise when I see posters use that term.

    Hard to take you seriously when you're speaking in paisleyese.

    Home ownership is the big issue for anyone under the age of 35. And FG have done a pretty piss poor job at addressing it in 9 years. I've lots of friends renting who have young families, both partners working and are so overburdened by ridiculous rents they have no hope of raising a deposit for a mortgage. They feel utterly let down by a government that thought leaving it to the market to provide was enough. Not asking for a free house but just the chance and help to call a home their own.

    SF might not be the answer but FG certainly aren't.

    I will vote for next-door's cat before I'll vote for any of those lighten fcukers.

    And you cant vote that mad crowd Renua either.

    The real real problem for the Electorate is there is no one to vote for.

    Irish Politics needs something new.

    Personally, I think it's sad that people are even considering Sinn Fein due to lack of choice.

    Bogus. Slaintecare has been agreed upon since 2017 and there has been next to no budget for implementation of the plan from FG since then, only sketchy placeholder reports that Simon Harris is so excellent at commissioning.

    With an election staring them in the face, FG, with no coherent actions on health during their tenure, they suddenly think the cross-party Slaintecare plan needs to be implemented as a matter of urgency.

    Bloody hell blues are obtuse and manipulative.

    Reminder: I am not a Sinn Féin voter. FG is the party with the largest gap between their claims of competency and their actual ability or willingness to deliver.

    What's mad about them?

    That they oppose abortion? Hardly an outlandish position to hold

    Or maybe some poor people FG got rid of with a mechanical digger.

    The Renua candidate in Kildare North is campaigning on a xenophobia ticket.

    Depends on the way you see it, their lust for the rip off property prices they have been delivering, has gone unpunished right up until the last minute!

    Let me guess....controlled immigration based around a points system?
    How racist is that !

    I admire your positivity but you will be sorely disappointed because SF is just another FF, FG, Labour. All supporting the same things. All supporting and implementing the policies of their rulers the EU.
    Ireland is a vassal state. Controlled and governed by the fascist dictatorship known as the EU.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 514 ✭✭✭thomasdylan


    Less than 5 years ago Sinn Fein were talking about slashing all consultant salaries and having a max public sector salary of 100,000.

    Now they've decided theyre hiring 1000 new doctors and consultants. How could you trust them? It's pie in the sky stuff. You'd have to worry about anyone who would believe them.

    They put a leaflet in my door and it was pure hatred.

    Nasty bigots.
