    Withholding a passport is a much more serious sanction than removal of a driving licence, and you want to impose this sanction without a court hearing. It seems like you favour the creation of a police state.

    Drunk driving is a serious offence? Reckless endangerment , have these people not done the same so if we have to take them to court to take their passports name and shame as well , let's do it people need to own their sh1t and should face the music when they trample over everyone else's good work

    I don't think that is correct.


    Michelle O'Neill's statement in full

    “There has been considerable controversy over my attendance at Bobby Storey’s funeral.
    “He was my friend.
    "At the foremost of my mind are all the families who are grieving.
    “I have listened carefully to the voices of those who have lost loved ones.
    “No family’s grief is more important than another’s.
    “I am particularly concerned that grieving families, who have lost a loved one during the pandemic had their heartache compounded by the necessary restrictions which were in place at that time.
    “Not being able to have their family and friends’ support to help them through was hugely difficult.
    “I am also concerned that those grieving families are experiencing more hurt over recent days. I am sorry for that.
    “Bobby’s family also must have space to grieve.
    “If the regulations had prevented me from attending his funeral I would have obeyed those regulations.
    “At the funeral and mass I kept to the regulations as I have advised others to do.
    “The PSNI will look into all of this.
    “It is unfortunate that this matter has divided the Executive.
    “We have important work to do and I firmly believe that all the parties of the Executive are committed to this and to powersharing.
    “We have made good progress in this despite all the difficulties. My commitment is to continue this work.
    “Covid 19 is still with us and I will continue to lead us through this and in to recovery.”

    This is exactly the position. She has ducked and dived and has not admitted to any wrongdoing and has not apologised for any wrongdoing. She has actually gone a bit further and stated that she will never apologise for attending the Story funeral.

    .....and the regulations were very clear. You were not allowed to attend a friends funeral. She also broke a further 6 regulations.

    Why would anyone apologise for attending a funeral?

    Was it advice or the law? I know our politicians attended a funeral around the same time too. Either way it was bad form and sent the wrong message. It's old news TBH.

    You can't attend a funeral unless it is an IRA funeral.

    Very like the way that the rules changed in Animal Farm.

    The Orwellian Sinn Fein agenda.

    It is our politican's job to attend a State funeral. Remember you were allowed travel for work purposes.

    Attending a criminal thug's funeral is not anyone's job.

    Do you really think that one community was more guilty than the other on this? The ira were particularly keen on kangaroo courts followed by brutal torture and assassination

    It would be old news if they weren’t doing it regularly. Sf elected reps at another illegal funeral gathering this week. And public invite to everyone with the closing message ‘up the ra’

    I was speaking on the Storey funeral. Are they breaking the law or advice? Not condoning it.
    I had heard SF members had former IRA in their ranks all right.

    Edit: Saw your link. Yeah looks like the Storey one flouted advice but no law was broken.

    Still pedaling that? It's a politician's job to flout covid restrictions? They were all wrong if one was wrong. Covid doesn't care what the politics is.

    Who was this, and why do you continue to make these insidious lowballing comments, without proof mind.

    It is very easy to spread fake nonsense, which seems to be a habit of yours.

    You were wryly suggesting it's one rule for some. To quote Newman and Badiel's 'History Today', "that's you that is".

    You have never reached a conclusion and a verdict on foot of an allegation mark?
    You really going to take the high moral ground here?
