    Now, take a selfie breaching lockdown and you get a Council nomination.

    In Sinn Fein's case, as my post makes clear, you get a promotion for confessing to wrongdoing, think you taking down the wrong piece.

    No, in SF's case it is about accepting an apology and having some perspective. Taking a selfie versus leaking confidential documents to a vested interest.

    Hmmm...you can try and make them similar in scale, but that would just be comedy.

    For the record, RRI went bust because it was underfunded, not because it had rent arrears of 12K.


    Pascal pulled the funding in 2012.

    I'm glad she paid what she owed. 4 years too late. It was still theft. I believe it's quite common for criminals to make reparations to their victims after they get caught.
    Sorry Bowie, IMO it was still theft.

    That was a hilarious exchange.

    By the way, it wasn't just in your eyes that it was theft. It was a court that evicted her on the basis of her theft, now when a Shinner has been found by a court to be a thief, it can be denied or is only an opinion!!!


    So anyone who is evicted is a thief now, regardless of the circumstances. Not a surprising view from someone who supports a Leo lead Fine Gael.



    Why did Pascal pull the funding for RRI Blanch? Thats the reason it went bust.
    And stop repeating lies about Wynne. The money was repaid (obviously as soon as she had it).

    So anyone with rent/mortgage arrears are thieves?

    63 euro a week rent and she had no ability to pay a cent in 4 years? But the first opportunity she had to pay anything was conveniently just as she was publicly called out on it when she transferred 12k?

    Now who's repeating lies? She never had any intention to pay anything "as soon as she had it" she was forced to.

    Some people finding it very hard to except its the end of 2020 and going on the year so far elections and most recent polls, Sinn Fein are Irelands most popular party.

    All the name calling, attempts to stop the rise is support has actually improved peoples outlook on SF as anyone with a bit of sense will have seen 6 months of attacls by FFG to SF, with Leo even telling everyone SF dont want you if you are white or a male

    Was she charged and convicted of theft? If she was, fair enough. But I don't believe she was. Just pointing out an inaccuracy ;)

    Read my post. It is full of facts, not opinions. Even the #notanormalparty is closer to fact than opinion.

    I never said that he got put forward because he took a good selfie, I said that there is a pattern of people in Sinn Fein being rewarded following bad behaviour. That is a fact.

    Of course not everyone who is evicted is a thief.

    However, anyone who is evicted for not paying rent, has robbed money from a landlord, so in those cases, the label fits.

    She is a thief.

    ...

    You took your opinions on what Holohan said called him a racist and a homophobe. You throw those terms out so much they lose all meaning when coming from you. These are your opinions on an idiot, (that's my opinion of him).

    I think you are jumping to a fair few conclusions there. From a cursory search, the following seems to have been the background.


    1. Wynne & family moved to Clare in 2011 to what was supposed to be a finished and furnished house.

    2. The house wasn't finished with physical defects and it wasn't furnished.
    3. Irish Gov. funding to Rural Resettlement was cut in 2012 (for a number of reasons - such as new planning laws prohibiting dispersed housing.
    4. Wynne was in dispute with RRI over the unfinished condition of the house.
    5. Wynne's partner got ill and was unable to work. Also a child in hospital in Limerick (they have 5 children).
    6. Court case was in 2016, family were evicted in 2017 !
    7. No one has moved into the house since.
    8. RRI has ceased operation.
    9. I don't think she had the money until she was elected a TD in 2020.
    10. The money is going to a local cancer charity now as RRI isn't in operation anymore, not because of Wynne failure to pay rent, but because of the planning laws and Fine Gael refusing to fund RRI.

    So she isn't, except in your opinion. Cool.

    If she took a confidential document and gave it to a pal, sure.

    Yep, Fine Gael has no problem evicting families from housing that no one else wants. Violet Wynne has 5 children. Hope you are proud of that.

    That is not the point and you dam well know it, Reilly, as well as being an "anti vaxxer" has appeared in Stubbs Gazette for defaulting on a debt, a debt he said he was unable to pay at the time.

    Everyone has a backstory to their financial woes, I know next to nothing about your woman, but Reilly's case was well reported, I guess it's another one of those "stones in glass houses" things fg love getting caught up in.

    There's also a pattern where the FG lobby turn the discussion in on the poster when they don't like the criticism. Dishonest way to dodge the points.

    The court evicted herself, her husband and five children from a house that no else want to live in.


    Did she ever pay back the charity she owed rent to? No
    The reason why is that charity doesn't exist anymore. It was shut down by your good pal Pascal when he cut funding to it.


    Does that make her a thief? Yes

    If that is the case, there are an awful lot of thieves due to rent/mortgage arrears in this country. Typical elitist Fine Gael attitude. No wonder Fine Gael are losing support to Sinn Fein.



    Sure, she tried to make some restitution by paying money to another charity, but she still robbed the first one.

    And .... ?


    You all for evicting families from properties that no one else wants then. You would have fitted in well in Trevelyn's regime back during the famine.
