    Oh great, you agree that the appointment of Liadh without any transparency and without any competition was a bad thing

    And again noone said this,just that your virtue signalling about this was shallow and conceited given yous support of woulfe and feeney appointments....i have no problem saying stormont is a failure,(IE no appointments are necessary) and should be wound up to push ahead with a unity referendum
    . Great, we are there now, through the rabbit hole.

    Down the rabbit hole,through the looking glass.....if your going to attempt to be condensending/dismissive,do it right

    One would expect others to understand that, and to not take it literally.


    After I explained it, and you explained it, there are still poster insisting that Blanch brings the ball back because they want to keep playing.

    Where was this 'sneaked in'? What rules were broken? Why is this woman not qualified for the post? What was not transparent?


    Keep running from backing up what you claim.

    It is not about bringing the ball back, it was never taken away, they can keep playing with themselves.

    The ball is there for them to play with. They have moved the ball on to a pitch full of their own sh!t. Rather than joining in, they don't like that I am sitting outside pointing out where they are.

    Irrelevant Francie.

    Liadh was a crony appointment by Sinn Fein without any competition, without any transparent process, without any democratic accountability.

    Those are the facts, my opinion is that appointment is wrong, your opinion is that there is nothing wrong.

    Leave it there for all to see.

    Liadh was appointed under the aegis of the legislation you were gloating about.

    :) Classic...and the realisation of that is the reason you scarpered from any accountability for the lies you told about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,533 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    How is asking what rules were broken irrelevant to the discussion....it would seem most pertinent surely?

    Blanch's sole purpose in dying on this hill was to try and vindicate FG cronyism . He made a plaintive post appealing to us to agree.

    Didn't go very well.

    WHERE did it exonerate her for misleading her boss and consequently the Dáil, the reason she had to resign?
    Chapter and verse or you are lying and I will ask a mod to adjudicate on this as it is important. There is no excuse for repeatedly lying about this, if it is in the report, show where.

    Is it time for sinn fein to withdraw support from the psni or push for chief constables resignation over the disgracful scenes at the ourmau road today



    Uvf can assemble and hold show of strengths,relatives and victims of a massacre (collusion caused),cant even hold a commeration or lay flowers at the site

    https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EqMFXJMW8AAlO2E?format=jpg&name=large


    What’s this all about?

    Not happening here surely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,326 ✭✭✭✭Brendan Bendar


    I doubt its happening here,the site is effectively dying and mainly used by a middle aged,middle class posters,

    (or anywhere,fake profiles on social media are rooted out quickly nowadays




    Do you think the chief constable of psni should go over yesterdays carryon,??

    Glad to hear that, that’s what I thought myself, was very surprised as really nobody would have the time to be on sites all day every dawn to dusk.

    Not aware of any issues with the PSNI, I tend not to have too much interest in that area, so unfortunately I can’t give an opinion.

    If I come across any info I certainly will comment.

    Lot of negativity about the place Bee, getting a bit on my wick.

    Hope you understand.

    Hardly. So the PSNI finally do their job and break up an illegal gathering, about time.
    I'd be more concerned with the incidents they let pass off unhindered and no consequences for.
    Not going to pick funerals out but there was a UVF showcof force a week or so ago, maybe that might be more illustrative of an event that should have been broken up.

    It's good to see the shinner politicos, including the deputy first minister, firmly on the side of people breaking the restrictions.
    Maybe they should have told them people to stay at home?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,213 ✭✭✭piplip87


    Regardless of who wrote the letter the behaviour of Culliane in the Dail the other day was disgraceful. Only a few weeks ago the Shinners were outraged that Donnelly did not show respect to the Leas Ceann Comhaire.

    I see RTEbias was trending again after the Taoiseachs appearance on Prime Time. Apparently talking about the opposition when on TV is bad now. Yet when ever Marylou get the opportunity she lambasted the government and rightly so it's their job in opposition. Yet they want the fuel the narrative that RTE is against SF even though RTE are the main drivers of the fallout from golfgate. This RTEBIAS crap is the Irish Version of Fake news.

    I also see plans are been drawn up to remove local authorities from some of the planning applications, this will be most welcome we may see some more housing getting built without the usual SF objections.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,253 ✭✭✭Bishop of hope


    The UVF had their show of strength 2 days ago,at which the psni stood by and done nothing


    Yesterday they could arrest people attending an commeration,to.my eyes the psni arent impartial anymore and support for them,should be pulled.....or else push for chief constable to resign

    Maybe the politicians on both sides should just tell their people stfah.

    But I agree with your point ré the UVF thing.
    I'd be more concerned with that passing unhindered.
    If I was looking for the chiefs head, there's where I'd start, not with a situation where they actually done their job!

    I'd be hard pressed to describe it as doing their job.

    A commemoration for an attack on innocent people, aided by the State itself probably isn't the time for a hard handed approach. The attendees claim that it was socially distanced (albeit I've heard there were more than the currently recommended numbers in attendance).

    I'd argue that a de-escalating approach would've been more appropriate given the sensitive nature of the commemoration. With having allowed a Loyalist Paramilitary show of force to proceed unhindered the other day, all cries of, 'well the rules are the rules and we will enforce them regardless' are gone out the window.

    Whether one agrees with my take on it or not, it is indisputably bad optics for the PSNI to arrest Mark Sykes, who was shot 7 times in said attack they were commemorating. Of all people, he is one that should've been afforded a degree of sensitivity with regards to their actions.

    Would you have been celebrating the Gardai doing their job had they started busting up Det. Colm Horkan's funeral with batons and started arresting mourners, or looked at the situation and suggested that perhaps fines and warnings would've been more appropriate?

    They are standing on this policy of holding police to account.....looks evident to me,they have no intention of


    Whats the point of supporting a police force,that isnt impartial?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,253 ✭✭✭Bishop of hope


    Looks like the unionists are jumping on this one.
    The Gardai are going to enforce the border.
    The unionists claiming a sort of victory with this, jesus you can do nothing with the north that isn't seen as some sort of sectarian battle or victory.
    Evidenced by the furore of the restrictions policing up there lately and now this.

    That is a fairly sensationalist headline.

    The gards are hardly "enforcing a hard border" by applying the same rules to folk from the north wanting to sun their torsos in Lanzo, as the rest of us.

    They're going to stop people who are not going on essential journeys, regardless if they're from Enniskillen, or Enniscorthy.

    It's hardly check point Charlie on every conceivable crossing point of the north/south border now is it.

    Why do you keep posting links to the unionist Belfast telegraph :D:D

    File it under 'rabble rousing' Bish.

    OK, so it's nothing.
    Now I was probably one of the first on here to suggest closing or at least policing the border should be considered.
    It was met with much hostility by a lot of people at the time.
    I see it might be a goer now and there's not much about it.
    Are we seeing border enforcement or just restrictive movement enforcement?

    Any idea if this is genuine? Even if it is, as somebody on the reddit commented, the youth wings of most parties are mad. Would have to be pretty stupid to commit multiple profiles tactic to paper.

    Does it happen here? I wouldn't say boards.ie is flooded with shinnerbot accounts but there are a small number of posters who post huge numbers of posts without ever really deviating from the erstwhile SF line (they sometimes get undercut by SF themselves changing tack)

    I believe they are probably enthusiastic fellow travellers but the sheer volume of posts sometimes makes me wonder.

    You're seeing neither, if you read the article properly you'll see that.
    "An Garda Síochána is also continuing to conduct checkpoints on access roads to airports and ports, as well as in departure areas, to check on whether people travelling to these locations are undertaking an essential journey.


    "Travelling to an airport or port to take a holiday abroad is not an essential journey," the Garda said in a statement.

    The force said if enforcement is required a fixed payment notice for €100 will be issued to each person who is in breach of the regulation.

    The new rules mean the Garda can turn back day-trippers from Northern Ireland.

    Under the Republic's current Covid-19 restrictions, travel is restricted to within 5km of a person's home except for essential reasons.

    People travelling to an airport or port to take a holiday abroad may also be liable for a €500 fine.

    They're hardly stopping people from going from Ballyshannon to Belleek, they're just applying the same rules to people from the north wanting to jet off using our airports as they're applying to residents here.

    They aren't policing the border Bish...I live on it, and I can assure you they never did and aren't.

    When constructing a forgery it's a good idea to make sure the paragraphs you insert run parallel to the ones already there. There is a noticeable difference here. Obvious photoshop to me.
