Sinn Fein and how do they form a government dilemma

Mine is clear. I want FF/FG power broken by a significant other party. Whether it be SF, the Soc Dems Labour etc. I have always been open in support of SF for that purpose. Open about the fact I am a republican,
I don't alter the posts of others to try and win the debate. That's a level of desperation I won't sink to tbh. If you do sink to that level what is the agenda?

Anger, confusion, fear (justified or not) lead to those who want to burn buildings being able to operate in communities.
That was the part of the vacuum the incompetents in the government and it's relevant dept's left. How many communities do you need to hear say that they were left in the dark and not consulted?
The rest of the vacuum has led to far right voices getting louder and finding vulnerable ears. That is far more frightening and concerning tbh.

Well the people actually responsible will always come out smelling of roses with that kind of an obsequious blind eye.

'Cudda Shudda Wudda,'

Really, is that the level of political debate we have to sink to now?

The government are accountable for their mistakes, not the opposition, not the public - not random posters on internet boards - but, those tasked with doing their jobs.

Why would somebody invent a phrase I never used (I don't think we have experienced 'mass immigration' at any point in all of this, That's the rabble rousing language of the far right and racists IMO) and attach it to my post if they don't have an agenda of some sort?

I have no problems people going to the 'feedback forum' either BTW. I have nothing to hide.

Another one who needs to alter what was said to try get a win.

I didn't say that, I said it was a part of why people felt they had a license to burn buildings. They fed off/felt emboldened by the fear and the anger engendered by the lack of communication and incompetent handling. I even clarified it for you here:

Anger, confusion, fear (justified or not) lead to those who want to burn buildings being able to operate in communities.
That was the part of the vacuum the incompetents in the government and it's relevant dept's left.

If you cannot debate the actual points made don't invent points made.

You wrote ( post no. 4931 ) "The community I live in was recently in the news.. More than 30% of the population (now closer to half) is non native. There are little to no issues with this though, no protests, no buildings burned etc."

I call the 30% to 50% of a population in Ireland now as "non-native" as being "mass immigration", given the same community in the Irish county a few decades ago (probably even a few years ago ) would not have been 30 to 50% "non native".

You say there are little to no issues with such migration. Unless you are one of those who profit from housing the migrants or something, I think most people have an issue with such large scale, unplanned immigration. Anyway that is why I wrote "Yes there are huge issues nationally, and will be more in the future looking at the experience of every other European country eg France Sweden Belgium Germany etc.

Not just housing, government finances, the strain on education, medical care, doctors, lack of tourism spin off in areas where no hotels are currently available for tourists etc. Lots of implications for many people.

Most of your fellow SF supporters disagree with you, so no wonder you are losing support by the day."

It is a part of the reason.

The far right feeds of fear/scaremongering/anger.

The government is in a large part for allowing those conditions exist via incompetency.

You said in your area now close to 50% is "non-native". If you do not call that "mass immigration" I do not know what is.

You don't immigrate into a town. You immigrate into a country and we do not have 'mass immigration' into the country.
This use of scaremongering phrases is far right tactics. We also hear that immigrants are 'flooding' across the border. I live on the border, they aren't, so those using those phrases need to calm down.

You use your own phrases. I refuse to engage in using the scaremongering phraseology of the far right.

Ireland is not experiencing 'mass immigration'.

And again, I did not say whether or not I see problems, I very clearly said that because work was done by public representatives and the community knows what is happening that there are not the issues there are elsewhere - burning of buildings and protests etc.

Francie wouldn't know the truth if it hit him in the face.

Meanwhile on planet earth..

The problem they have is they have no answers, since RTE and others have started to pull them up on it, the whole thing is falling to pieces.

At the start they floated in a SF TD and they would waffle on about how terrible everything is and it was "da guberments" fault, then walk out the door with no answers to how to resolve.

Since the interviewers have remembered they actually should ask questions then we get what we have seen in the last 12 months, incoherent nonsense from the party

Then when it all goes wrong they think the best course of action is stick Mary Lou and Pearse onto every show, people are sick of listening to them. It's 5 years of them across all tv programs with the same moan a minute and incoherent nonsense when asked a question.

Even yesterday was watching Dail question, you have Eoin sitting beside Mary Lou as usual, as soon as someone else starts talking he starts shouting. Just rubbish, yet you ask him a direct question and he can't answer it. Five years now of him shouting from behind Mary Lou in the Dail, useless

As I said, back in 2020, SF were the new shiny toy in the shop window, that people fondled with.

They are no growing tired of it, as its a one-trick pony.

Why don't you refer to what I said rather than what Francis invented about what I said?

Mis-information? Would you recognise it if you seen it? I doubt it judging on that performance Mark.

 More than 30% of the population (now closer to half) is non native. 

What you are saying is still a lie and misinformation, straight out of the Justin Barrett playbook.

No town in Ireland has 'close to half' of the population as 'non-native'

Either prove your point with some statistics from the CSO or relevant body or walk it back.
