Sinn Fein and how do they form a government dilemma

Sure what can you expect from MLMD, next week she will be trying to tell us about the great relationships PSF have across the border and into the UK.

As I have said many times, if people want a United Ireland the longer PSF are involved the longer it will take, remove the and their bickering it will speed up the process.

Saw that. Things have changed in Ireland. Its no longer cool to declare your hate form England. A lot of people were not impressed with her.

Not sure about that

I watched the match in a packed west cork pub and there was a huge cheer for both spanish goals and at full time

Same happened when Kerry lost 🤣

More whataboutery.

Take it up with the poster who introduced the notion that a UI is contingent on us supporting England.

You were signalling a turn to the far right by SF before the LE's and the drop in their support BTW.

As FG and FF and the Greens have turned to the right on immigration I am certain sure SF will continue demanding that the rules and regs are properly and fairly enforced and that the appalling way the government is housing these people (or not) without local consultation must change.

I.E. the lack of proper enforcement and communication being the reason we are where we are.

Of course we will have the government supporters lining up next week to call that 'far right' and 'dog whistling', that's about all they have at this stage of the mess.

To be fair,Daithí Doolans condemnation is welcome but theres a secondary motive to it

Sinn Féin want rid of this parasite tri colour waving anti immigrant right wing organised type of protest as its canibalising their vote

It is part of a politicians job to build bridges with nearest neighbours, and could we really trust Mary Lou and her comrades if they were in power?

It is a few years since it became well known there were no fewer than 10 members of England’s 2022 World Cup squad who could have represented the Republic of Ireland.

And yet MaryLou's hatred of the English meant she would prefer support a side - any side - than the neighbouring team these 10 men played (at some stage) for.

Pathetic.

Let us hope she never forms a government anyway.

Seems that in a UI or even now, good relations means being an Irish sycophant. We must support England in football publicly even if we don't want to. 😁

I think we got an indication of where SF are going on policy last night on Prime Time in Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire's discussion with the handwaving away Barry Ward FG.
He seemed to be saying that what is required is a formal process when establishing centres for accommodation with proper consultation with communities and provision of resources if they don't exist. Ward, of course denied that there was no consultation/communication.
On Tonight on TV3 Joan Burton was saying more or less the same thing.

The question was asked and Ward immediately did what you did, assumed the worst case scenario and tried to scaremonger.

The answer was predictably more sensible and devoid of scaremongering - a formal process need only take a short amount of time, the outcome of it was the important thing- a platform for people to have their concerns and needs properly addressed. Guess whose back went up when that was suggested?

We know the right and far-right are in favour of imposing their will on everyone. That was more or less what Ward was proposing - i.e. you can't allow communities a say.
Basically Ward had 'no solutions' on how to avoid Coolock's or Dundrums.

Mary Lou is basically ending her political career on RTE1 right now. It's one of the worst interviews I've ever heard. She can't coherently answer any question PBH is asking her and she is getting really really angry.

Jesus, that was a car crash. She’s done. Snarky, hectoring, belligerent, lacking in detail. Time for the leadership to start considering a replacement.

They are in government. The reality of immigration is there for everyone to see. It was SF who knew they had to do something and released a policy document. Mary Lou was questioned on it in a robust manner, and got angry and snarky.

She has no grasp of detail. The tide has gone out on her.

I’ve said it before, the young lads and lassies with their name in Irish, the Che Guevara banner and the Palestinian flag in their bio are now advising the party. But they don’t understand their voter base. That’s why they did so badly in the elections and why their polling figures are so disasterous. A lad who thinks Cuba is a perfect model of society can never really understand what Craig and Ciara Coolock are thinking.

I asked you specifically for costed policy when they were vying for election.
You ran away as predicted.

There isn’t one. Running away from nothing. SF were under no obligation to produce one either. They knew they had to though, but as seems to be the case these days, they didn’t realise it would go down like a lead balloon. They are in serious trouble.

I said it before, but SFs social media strategy is coming back to bite them. They whipped people up into a frenzy with their water charge protest groups on Facebook, their failed state narrative on Twitter etc. Those same people have now turned on them and are attacking them.

The Beards in Belfast, Tyrone, Armagh and Louth want a United Ireland. That’s the goal. The North Star. Surely it can’t be long until they are making changes to policy and politicians in the 26?
