Warning: Conmen visiting houses around the country

    Just a heads up.

    There's a group of conmen travelling around the country.

    They are smartly dressed, are highly personable (even charming). They are promising all sorts of things like sorting out the housing and healthcare crisis. Their solutions sound really easy and are spoken about in a really convincing way. However, you might notice they will seem very hesitant to talk about the recent past. You might even find them dismissive of the past with folksy phrases like "we've moved on from that" or if pressed they might talk about how problems in the past were "global anyway". They will then use transitionary phrases like "going forward" to change the subject and will start talking about their future "solutions".

    However, take heed. They are confidence tricksters of the highest order. This group of individuals have no principles whatsoever, have a proven track record of destroying the economy and each time promise this time around it's going to be different.

    They are going by the name of "Fianna Fail" and should be politely told to
    "fu0k off".

    Around the time FF were mismanaging our country, werent opposition parties promising to spend more that would of made what happened to the country even worse?

    I’d be careful throwing stones on that glasshouse issue.

    I've heard they go by a number of aliases and/or there may be a number of such groups operating around the country at the moment.

    Remember if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

    As long as you hand over a “brown envelope”. With a wink and a nod, of course.

    I've had a few come to the door using other monikers too. Fine Gael, Sinn Féin, The Green Party, Labour and some chancers even tried to claim they were "independent" whatever the **** that means. :confused:

    Another update on your one OP,
    Just a heads up.

    There's a group of conmen travelling around the country.

    They are smartly dressed, are highly personable (even charming). They are promising all sorts of things like sorting out the housing and healthcare crisis. Their solutions sound really easy and are spoken about in a really convincing way. However, you might notice they will seem very hesitant to talk about the recent past.

They will then use transitionary phrases like "going forward" to change the subject and will start talking about their future "solutions".

    However, take heed. They are confidence tricksters of the highest order. This group of individuals have no principles whatsoever, have a proven track record of supporting and collecting Garda murders from prison!



    They are going by the name of "Sinn Fein" and should be politely told to
    "fu0k off".

    Snake oil guys they'll knock once and then be gone into the shadows.

    You know why there'll never be a coup in Ireland the army and Garda are state bodies no chance they'll turn.
