How dare SF interrupt this Govt in its important work....I feel this attacking SF is going to really backfire on FG

Might even backfire before the end of the week, this Seamus Woulfe issue is going to reach boiling point soon while this leak stuff is still ringing in peoples ears.

I noticed a SF TF was on the radio this morning saying the government needed a plan to 'deal with it', by that I take it SF have decided Woulfe must be impeached. How do the government sack a guy after standing behind Leo Varadkar?

Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

Simon Harris was too much tonight. Just anti-SF nonsense. Everyone who thinks Leo should resign is a troll....

Greens will come out of this very poorly.

I vote Soc Dems not SF. Their line of defence which is simply to attack SF is not treating the matter as seriously as it needs to be.

That's were they fail. They forget some folk support, Labour, SD, SF, PBP and want this addressed. Calling them all shinners with a grudge is pretty lazy and ignorant.

I'm the same - a Soc Dem voter.

Voted for SF once in my life and that was Liadh Ní Riada for the European Parliament, and I can't see myself ever voting SF again for a myriad of policy reasons none of which have anything to do with FF,FG,GP - or NI, The Troubles etc etc etc

Words can't even express how utterly pathetic I find this 'whatabout SF' crap.
It's insulting.

Jaysus, enough attacking SF, sick of this, pathetic defence from pathetic defenders.

SF will soon have their go in power and the will be scrutinized in extreme detail, rightly so, they have talked the talk and will soon have to walk the walk.



But Leo lads, Tory Boy is the reason your doing this tonight. Muppets.

SF were pathetic since this story broke, bringing a vote of no confidence was pathetic when they knew it wasn't going to go their way. I'm delighted to see POD and MLMCD sit down and listen without being able to interrupt

Did Leo break covid rules by having friends over to Farmleigh?

Peadar Tóibín with a Covid regulations breach torpedo!

We have different ideas of what pathetic is ,clearly.

It's a lonely boat you row here tonight.

The thing is that they have turned this into a SF bashing session because they have the numbers in the government, they really don't need to defend Varadkar and the government are letting of steam by having a go at SF. This is their moment.

Same here and agree with the childish nature of the political debate.

SleetAndSnow

This is pathetic. What a disgrace of a debate. I've honestly never seen a worse debate. 110 minutes of attacking sinn fein pretty much ignoring everything about the matter of hand.

Pathetic a strong word but there aren't any winners here, including SF.

It will get tallied up as yet another MONC they have tabled that has failed to pass. The coming weeks and months will tell us who bears the label of most pathetic out of all of this.

Man complaining about blackening other parties, blackens other party.

He may give that impression but he’s a centrist. His policies are far closer to FG than SF.

WicklaWolf

Bruton at it too - This attack is way too much and out of proportion.

"fake news" and "echo chamber of social media"

People are genuinely concerned about honesty and accountability in politics.

FG are coming out of this terribly!

smurgen

This is brilliant.

Irish establishment:

1960s - SF are communists

1970s - SF are right wing Catholics

1980s - SF are godless atheists

1990s - SF are druggies

2000s - SF are anti-business

2010s - SF are not a normal party who live in the past, but they must also remember the past

2020s - SF are Trumpian



F@€k off

SleetAndSnow

All I can say is, as a member of the younger generation, FG aren't helping themselves. All my group chats are hopping with people furious at how this is going.

Man complains about Tribalism is member of political party at heart of tribalist divisions dating back to Civil War when Sinn Fein split into different factions.

The irony of it all.

caveat emptor

Didn't realise it was a no confidence vote in sinn fein. Look over there.

RickDeckard

Thank God we are not playing the Sinn Fein drinking game, we'd be dead an hour ago.

This FG Lady doth protest too much methinks.

We are all disgusted with you and your party misses

There is hope in the youth, how can they not be livid with everything, glad I was young in the 90's. Godspeed youth of Ireland.

SleetAndSnow

How is this allowed though? Why isn't the ceann comhairle telling them to get back on topic? Why are the speeches allowed get so off topic?
