Probably more.....there's no brain matter in there to slow down the bullet.

I wouldnt write them off just yet.

It's not as if they haven't done this type of thing before.

You know, like selling passports, running DIRT tax scams, rezoning land for political and financial gain, ending up in court on gun running charges, Jim McDaid getting a conviction for drink driving, corruption, libellous newspaper article by Limerick TD' and I think we can see the pattern emerging.

The truth is that the FF party have a colourful history of this type of thing and to say that they will be killed off over bankrupting the nation and damaging the euro may be jumping the gun a bit.

I get what you're saying but the economy and our government are not just of interest to people who like politics anymore - it pervades every area of our lives.

Why not set up a subforum in AH for this talk so?

Of course they never said that, and that comment doesn't even begin to make sense, in any way.
It's advisable for people to have a bit of a clue about what they're commenting on, before posting.
Just my opinion.

If they think that they can do without any help from the EU, I'd like to wish them well. As it stands, it would benefit FG greatly if FF got the money, got kicked out of government, and when FG came in, they'd have money in the kitty, with the excuse that FF brought in the IMF, but we'll spend the money.

Which I'd find ironic, considering FG made the base for the celtic tiger house, and when FF came in, they built a damn fine shed.

Bullsh!t. FF were anti democratic in their roots, did not establish an Irish republic and were always the haven of the cute hoor. They have brought their supporters and the rest of us to this sorry mess through incompetence, arrogance and cronyism.

The relationship between Fianna Fail and the Irish people is like that of a neglected and physically abused wife and an insulting, selfish brute husband. Brute husband kicks the **** out of wife one night, but wife knows its for her own good. Wife goes around town with sunglasses and pretends it's alright, puts on a brave face. Then after a serious beating some night, meek wife makes a break for it but ultimately comes back because she loves him.

Cheap Thrills!

Yeh, or something.

These discussions don't seem to belong in AH OR Politics forums????

AH'ers are bamboozled and ignored in Politics forum but irritating and boring/bringing down the craic in AH ........

Sanjuro

Do not be so confident that Fianna Fail are on the brink of oblivion. If Irish people love anything, it's an underdog. And it's this that makes me think that a great many people will give these people a vote despite all disaster they've landed us all in. Hubris is not a good thing. Wait until they are actually out of power before being sure of their downfall.

Never write off FF.

They will, unfortunately, be back. Thanks to the electorate.

Stained Class

Unfortunately, politics in this country follows no logic.

It's tribal.

My Grandad fought in the Civil War & I have to vote FF/FG etc.

It's like you're betraying your family to vote for anybody else.

Mad innit.

Fianna Fail just like Catholicism, is a mental illness that has been ingrained into the Irish mindset. I'm sad to say that it'll never fully dissapear. They might soon be a long time in the wilderness like the Tories were in the UK, but I guarantee you they'll be back in ten years when people have forgotten and/or the journos have bombarded them with ars3licking revisionism.

Exactly! 18% of voters (at the last polls)would still vote for this crowd.


It says a lot for us as a people really.:rolleyes:

I can still see people voting for Fianna Fail again in the next election, when you talk to people about it all I hear is "Sure the other crowd would be no better", so it's Ok to reward Fianna Fail with an other term for fcuking up the country in the last 10 years. People have very short memories.

Here's an idea. Why not have second republic.

Agree to hand over the running of the country for 4-5 years to the EU while we try to pay back what we owe and while we devise a new BUNREACHT NA hÉIREANN[(I've no problem with the current one except it assumes honesty/honoribility on the part of our elected rep's/public servants and that they will act in the best interests of the people).

At the end of this term anyone who has been an elected rep of a recognised political party is excluded from standing again on the grounds of incompetence

I heard that Lowry and Healy Rae are blocking things.

anybody know about this ?

I have an idea.......If you dont like political threads....dont click on a thread with the title " Good bye Fianna Fail "


Most threads in AH could be in Politics,humour,Personal issues........etc that is why we have After Hours, for a bit of fun on ALL topics.

or we could do the Fianna Fail thing , and create a strategic group , to write a white paper on the issue , the problem is it takes about 10 years to get this cosy group to produce meaningful results , and by then they are dated

I have a feeling talking about the demise of FF is a bit premature. They are badly damaged for sure but they will be back.
I mean even as bad as things are, the main opposition party is not seeing the benefits. By right FG should win an overall majority in the next election, and keep FF out for at least a decade but they wont even come close to a majority !

Irish trade unionists are threatening a campaign of civil disobedience if the state's beleaguered government fails to call a general election.

Fianna Fail meltdown fears over IMF arrival

SHELL-SHOCKED Fianna Fail ministers and TDs last night admitted they feared the arrival of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has put the future of the party in jeopardy and pushed as many as 40 deputies past the point of rescue in the next General Election.

Everyone who borrowed beyond their means, ran up their credit cards, took out 100% mortgages, had a part to play in the madness.

When the smoking ban came in everyone was up in arms about a 'nanny state'. Now we're all....'oooh the financial regulator never said I couldn't borrow half a million euros for a one bed apartment even though I'm in contract employment, so I thought it was okay'.

Only thing that will kill off FF is to disenfranchise large swathes of the nations culchies.
