Sinn Fein and how do they form a government dilemma

I have googled it and looked on the Sinn Fein website but cannot find the document entitled "Delivering Sustainable Public Sector Broadcasting and Independent Media Sector." Is it a secret document only available to journalists?

I am interested in reading it because it all looks a bit strange. For example, the report states that "Sinn Féin also wants to provide €12.5 million each year in additional investment in An Post, as it would lose the 7% commission for administering the licence fee." Why?

I see two major problems with this.

(1) Whoever was employed by An Post to collect the TV licence won't be needed any more so Sinn Fein will be giving money to An Post to pay people to sit around doing nothing.

(2) As the contract to collect was awarded under a tender, such funding will probably be in breach of EU law.

Some of this might be clarified in the policy document, but it smacks again of Sinn Fein not really having a clue about policy.

Like most things with Sinn Fein they don't expect people to read past the fancy headline which says they want it gone.

The free TV license shift from SF is blowing up in their face.

Just watch Thomas Gould on The Tonight Show making it up on the hoof and making an absolute tit of himself.

This guy expects to be a minister if SF gets into power. God help us all.

The fact that on the day that SF announces this fiasco of a policy, you have to drag the topic to FG and the USC and talk about it more than SF.

Proof positive that the announcement today is going down like a lead balloon. Well done :D

"toxic" yet Ireland is one of the top countries in World to live in

Jog on with the nonsense you came up with to push for Sinn Fein, it is boring now and ridiculous

As I already posted it is also an insult to all the people over the years who have worked to get Ireladn into the position it is now.

Meanwhile Sinn Fein who you are pushing for, after been created in 1970 are the most toxic thing in Ireland and Northern Ireland, a blight on every community they came into contact with and the drug issues we have in Ireland are hugely responsible for Sinn Fein and PRIA. Even today Sinn Fein are up to their neck in organized crime.

The old leader hiding paedofiles and the new leader involved with people who water board.

Now what exactly isn't toxic about Sinn Fein?

As i said jog on with your nonsense, is repetitive now and you add nothing new to any topic. Just repeat the same noise ad nauseam.

P.S. Im sure you will report this post to the mods like you do with most posts, this is nothing to do with personal, this is about the constant nonsense you post on this forum. But stil fire ahead and report the post

That is nonsense, strangely you didn't spend the previous 5 years posting about the last party you claimed to support. Yet you suddenly turned the corner and spent the last 4 years posting constantly about Sinn Fein. It doesn't add up and it's hilarious you even try to push that angle

Anyway I made my point. The only party that is toxic in Ireland at the moment is Sinn Fein and another 60k posts are not going to change that one.

If you have better reasoning for why two parties had at one time 86% vote share and have lost more than 40% of that in a relatively short time frame, (and nothing suggests to me they are going to stem the flow) maybe you would address that instead of attacking the poster and trying to personalise.

It is my view that the fall in vote share and consequently in the parties vote will prompt a desire within FF not to go into another FG coalition and to look to re-establishing their identity by coalescing with SF or indeed others if that is doable. For now, based on polling it looks like the choice will be between FG + others or coalition with SF on their own. I think it is that internal 'dilemma' in FF which will potentially solve the dilemma of how to form a government for SF.

More choice.

Better education, communication etc so people are looking at other things in life. Back in 70's did anyone care about the environment? would a Green Party even get a single vote? because of education and communication Ireland is connected to the World so people suddenly are aware of the environment and voting for parties that reflect that

No idea why this has to be explained to you, it's fairly f**king basic stuff.

FF have no internal dilemma. It's just more nonsense you made up, Sinn Fein are going to exact way most people predicted, downwards once people started to ask questions abotu their policies which are incoherent and incompetent.

Already answered before, as I said I have no interest in the 100 posts a day

I made my point, the only party which is toxic around here is Sinn Fein

In terms of Ireland, the moan a minute posters add nothing to the conversation, as you say just scaremongering.

Of course you do.

Can you give me an example on this? What exactly is 'toxic' about it? Give us concreate examples of how and why.

That is best evidenced by how they set up SIPO between them - the regulatory body with no teeth or any real power to achieve accountability.

That was bad enough when they pretended to be different parties and Enda could sell his 'New Politics' snake oil to the electorate but IMO it has gotten markedly worse since they coalesced together, circling wagons to protect and just brazenly ignore issues.

That culture of no accountability or sanction permeates right down through into state bodies and institutions like the Gardai, RTE and the HSE etc etc

Can you name a country that won't confront it's issues. Which is what we need to do here. Accepting the same again is not what a modern democracy should be doing.

Well to be fair the people voted to make those 2 parties the biggest

Democracy like...

Other parties including your own were busy making themselves unelectable So therein lay the source of toxicity if any tbh

But it's interesting that you've conceded at last that the 2 party state is what people wanted albeit others were busy trying not to be an alternative

Or in the case of the Lenin appreciation society,un holy,a no no in a deeply Conservative Catholic country

This is new from you (here)

I do welcome it

That is not an example of toxicity because of the 'powerswap'.

In fact it's a terrible example given that FG voted against the act in 2001....

A nice bit of deflection there Francie.

You didn't answer the question, of course. Seems to be a bad habit of yours.

So, please answer the questions.

What issues don't we confront exactly?
