Why all the Fianna Fail bashing on this forum?

    One of the things I've noticed on this forum is that Fianna Fail bashing seems to be prevalent, and not only prevalent but hip and trendy. Why is it so acceptable to bash Fianna Fail in comparison to say Labour. All the more ironic given that nearly every economic boom and progressive legislation has been done and signed by Fianna Fail. While it's easy to bash FF for what they've done, just look at the mess Fine Gael and Labour have made of things. Had we still had Fianna Fail the economy would be on the upturn. Why is it so hard for so many here to accept that Fianna Fail are good for the country?

    What a terrible wind up attempt. Would have been interested to see a proper debate on this though.

    99% of people who post here say they would prefer a dose of piles rather than to vote FF and think anyone who has a different view is a tool. But someone voted for FF for over a decade...

    Anyway, this isn't the thread for it. OP should hang their head in shame.

    I'll give you the beefti of the doubt and assume you're not a troll. Two things to answer your questions:

    1 - The reason FF got the blame is because they were in charge of the state ans it's finances, not labour. The Ministers for Finace were McCreevey/Aherne/Cowen were, all of which were FF. Two of them were even Prime Ministers.

    2 - FG don't get the blame for making a mess, because, well - they didn't make a mess, now did they?

    There is no guanatee that if FF had been in place things would be on the upturn, what are you basing this on? What is different abotu them now from 2007?

    As I said in a previous thread: If you hired a guy to look after your kids and he absued them, would you hire him again?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    When was the last time FF didn't sell our future to buy an election ?

    Here's a clue, the fuss over water meters and bin charges is a direct result of the promise to get rid of residential rates back in 1977

    No , they stepped into the mess then walked it all over the floor . Anyway FG have said it was the people that caused the mess.

    Just because you don't like what somebody who supports Fianna Fail has to say, doesn't make it trolling.

    The only reason FG didn't make a mess of the country is because they weren't in power.If FG do anything worthy or achieve any benefit to the country it will be because they are being led by the hand by adults.

    Well, let's look at the role of 'de peeple':

    1. Repeatedly voted in Fianna Fail, who cut the tax base so we were reliant on property transaction taxes, failed to appoint a competent bank regulator or central bank governor, and ignored all warnings about a property bubble ("go away and commit suicide").

    2. Fought tooth and nail to outbid each other on houses of every description as they either panicked about 'missing the boat' or tried to cash in on the bubble, thus driving the price of property through the roof.

    The Irish population wasn't entirely to blame, but they certainly played a role.

    I notice these days that those who support Fianna Failure can't admit it publicly, but they can certainly attack Labour and FG...
