    Even though that just happened with Mary Lou, I don’t think it’s going to have any major impact...

    Who is Paul Quinn? He died in 2007 and in NI? Why is this being brought up now?

    The IRA were involved allegedly. And I’m not sure who the person who MOC was quoting about saying one thing.

    How did a posh little woman from Dublin 6 become involved in Sinn Fein anyway?

    She was in FF at one point iirc.

    Boomers can't get over the IRA.

    I don't think that will damage MLM as much as it probably should.

    People voting SF on Saturday likely just want a change from FF / FG and either don't know or don't care about the dodgy SF stuff.

    Because he was murdered by the IRA and Sinn Fein covered it up.

    Died is being kind. It was an absolutely vicious murder. Poor lad didn't have an unbroken bone left.

    same with free travel - ridiculous. heavily subsidised certainly but free? utter stupidity.

    I had an argument with my 71 year old mother about that. One Monday morning in December i stood from Galway to Athlone because the train was full of aul wans going to Dublin for the day on the free pass to do shopping.

    My argument was the pass shouldn't be eligible during commuting hours.

    She said "but what if i have a hospital appointment at 9 am one morning".

    I said what if I, as a worker, have a hospital appointment but its pushed to 1pm because yours is at 9am. So the worker has to take the day off while the retired person is taking up space during the rush hour stampede.

    The whole system is backwards.

    He was murdered by those who support SF because he got the better of a leading SF mans son in a row, that's who Paul Quinn was.

    Varadkar isn't that good but he is being made look extremely competent here.

    This is embarrassing to watch, I don't want any of these people in power.

    So if you vote for Sinn Fein you vote for politicians that have to speak and take advice from unelected unknowns that live in the shadows?

    Really starting to think that a big reason for the SF increase in polls was due to their exclusion from the first leaders debate. As a set piece it pitted 2 similar candidates and left the casual voter wondering about an alternative. Plus there was a well crafted sense of victimhood by MLM.
    The irony now is that inclusion in tonights debate may have seriously damaged her credibility. Weak on all the big ticket issues and resorting to hackneyed student union debating lines. If she had been shut out again it could have swung it for her, now the lack of depth has been laid bare.

    Its not that they cant get over it, its that they know the terrorist character of the people that populate SF. Its understandable that younger generations may not realise that.
