    Thats all you have to go on. Someone's opinion.

    Whats worse is of all the opnions you could have chosen you picked the most delusional idiot that Irish politics has ever seen.

    Eohan Harris is the man you are talking about.

    He absolutely slated John Hume over Hume's decision to hold talks with Sinn Féin prior to an IRA ceasefire. Harris urged the Irish government, at the time led by his friend John Bruton, to end all support for Hume's peace efforts. He wrote, "If we persist with the peace process it will end with sectarian slaughter in the North, with bombs in Dublin, Cork and Galway, and with the ruthless reign by provisional gangs over the ghettos of Dublin. The only way to avoid this abyss is to cut the cord to John Hume"

    Well he called that one right didnt he.:rolleyes:

    Also did you know he himself was an IRA man. He spent many years in British prisons for IRA activities.
    Kind of ironic that someone who abhors anything to do with the IRA would enlist his support in an argument.

    Seriously. You really need to stop and think before posting. Use you brain, make a considered and educated argument, but don't be making a complete and utter fool of yourself.

    Again. It wasn't the man's personal opinion. It was apparently concerns voiced by senior Gardai.

    You do understand what quotes are for. These things " "

    A senior Garda did not say what I quoted. Eohan Harris did.
    So it wasnt someone else's opinion it was his opinion.

    Majority doesn't want it. North wouldn't give up their benefits and south cant afford it

    Polling consistently says the opposite. The Republic is strongly in favour, on average 65-70% so.

    The last major poll in NI, by Lord Ashcroft in Sept 2019 showed 51% in favour or reunification. It'll happen, just a matter of timing.

    That's not because of taxes. It's because the cost of living is so high.

    If there was enough support we'd have already had a referendum. There isn't currently enough support. I think Mary Lou even knows that.... She wants to start planning for a referendum in future.....I'd imagine 5-10 year frame??

    Dunphy's speech was amazing if you didn't know how addled the man's mouthings and thinking are:
    https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/politics/eamon-dunphy-defends-gerry-adams-over-jean-mcconville-murder-by-ira-30339635.html

    So, the wind is blowing this way today - there's Eamonn!
    Tomorrow, another day another bluffed up speech of bullsh1te.

    He's also partial to situational "up the ra"

    He's also came on to live television p|ssed out of his head

    I'm not sure he has the credibility to do anyone any harm

    Dunphy is a supporter of SF.....he has great respect for them......but that doesn't mean they're suitable for Cabinet (according to Dunphy)....

    Mary Lou said on the BBC that those people have gone away. They served their purpose during the transition from military to politics. She told them that she is in charge now. I believe her.

    Ffg see the people as the enemy but a necessary evil to stay in power and at the trough. If they care so much , why is health a shambles , ripoff childcare, rip off housing. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but maybe they are looking to enrich some people at the expense of the masses. I don’t care what is thrust at sf. I’ve never voted for them before last weeks vote. But ffg are an epic piss take. Absolutely laughable listening to them about prudence, competence etc. laughter lounge stuff. Sf have one thing that ffg don’t with their leaders, someone with balls. What’s ffg response to everything? Fly a kite

    SF are an unholy alliance of provo sympathisers, welfare heads from inner Dublin and now young millennials completely brainwashed by their propaganda machine into thinking they'd get a free gaf.
