FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3 - Threadbanned User List in OP

A full scale inquiry? Why? A few parties have already admitted multiple times they have huge problems with online supporters and it does nothing to stop the tirade of abuse.

In other words , the carry on of McMurphy would be all the responsibility of boards which would mean the likes of boards would shut down with the overhead of trying to manage these troll account s

It’s time to introduce legislation and shut down the accounts plus identify these people who think it’s ok to abuse and post abusive personal comments online. Let’s see how hard they are where everyone in the country knows they are nothing but an online bully

That will put an end to it

Im sure some people will push for an inquiry which would take years to gather the information, all while the abuse continues online.

Time to shut it down now….

Fianna Fail calling for a border poll. Neale Richmond telling southern unionists within his party to prepare for a united Ireland too.

The Irish state must surely have some of the most slow learners in govt party's, they just don't get it.

They're trying to steal Sinn Feins thunder (Barry says so specifically in that newspaper piece) yet misses the point, Sinn Fein are swallowing the others up because of the housing and health crisies within the state that both Fianna Fail and their lesser partners both acknowledge exists, yet continue to implement absolutely nothing to address it. They should be concentrating on addressing the 100+ years of their failed policies that brought about these crises, not a United Ireland poll that their respective party's ignored also for the same amount of years. I'd wager a guess if you asked people in 2022 what is driving them to vote ST over FF/FG and prob 10% (if that) would say it was a unified Ireland. I'd guess "housing, health, and corruption" would be the more likely answer.

Barry knows the writing is on the wall. FF and FG will merge eventually because separately they're in terminal decline. It's great to see too.

I'll telll you what's hilarious, your constant posts about "a certain party", which is obviously a very thinly veiled insinuation that everyone posting their thoughts here on the governments obvious failures are a member, or some loyal supporter of "a certain party"

But that actually pales in comparison with the hilarity in that you are oblivious to your own short memory, you engaged on this very thread a few days ago, admitting theres a housing crisis. Now you are scoffing at the 100+ years of failed policies that brought about this crisis? Oh what's that? When I said 100+ years of failed policies you thought I meant every policy, and not relating to the failed policies that brought about the very two crisies I mentioned?

Baby steps.

No discussion on anything 2018 or before.

Loud and Clear

Well you stated "you are talking about a discussion FG had in 2018, was rejected and has zero relevance"

1. How do we know it was rejected and not followed up on?

2. How does a party who were in Govt and are still in Govt having a discussion on creating troll accounts not have any relevance to a discussion on parties creating troll accounts?

As usual, when you don't like the topic you ignore the comment/information provided. Typical.

We have a huge issue in Ireland that it is no longer safe for people online because of certain groups. End of story.

The only stupid thing to do is not to implement laws to stop it but also to stop organisations who coordinate these accounts. This is something which everyone is aware is happening for years. Pushing all the responsibility onto the platform is just shifting the blame.

The days of the pile on arranged by McMurphy and others here on boards was never boards fault. It was the organisation behind those accounts, as I already said, who creates multiple accounts years in advance on the off chance they might be useful at some stage. Also who is on a website nearly 17 hours a day 7 days a week without been paid.

Majority of people would want this type of carry on shut down. Seemingly not.

As I said at the start, the government need to implement it quickly, the online abuse is disgusting and needs to stop immediately. No faffing with an inquiry to delay everything

Read the thread.

It is very telling since I mentioned about the online laws the divide on the subject. I will let people review the thread work it out for themselves. But hardly a surprise to see the reactions
