    People who voted for FF did not vote to go into power with SF, that you can be guaranteed. A number of FF TDs are still saying they absolutely will not work with SF.

    Throw in the Greens to make the stew more palatable to taste. And a few ministerial positions. They’ll come around. FF can do populism as well as SF.

    The antics of SF has ironically made a UI look further away than ever!

    Ironically it's not up to SF. It's up the the citizens of both countries as per the GFA.

    The silver lining to this SF nightmare maybe.

    You've been on here talking blarney for the last two days and you don't even know the basics.

    Absolutely astonishing.

    This programme is a joke...talk about the bloody election not some one singing up the ra late at night in a pub...

    Everyone has said it with a few pints on them. Or sang the celtic symphony. Or sang come out you black and tans.

    I bet even Thomas Byrne has.

    He shouldnt have said it on camera as an elected possible member of go ernment. And Mary Lou should deal with him

    That was what Robert Troy was saying to Claire Byrne that Sinn Fein should go off and work away and see where they get.

    Yeah it's the best option. Another factor in all this is if something escalates up North, which doesn't need much to happen, were will this put SF. We can't sit back and turn a blind eye if something kicks of up there. The IRA were looking to blow up a truck at sea only 2 weeks ago. 5 years is a very long time to keep things running smoothly up there.

    Well no FG voter wants them to form a gov with SF. So try to form a gov yes but opposition bench is vastly more preferable than going into bed with the shinners. If FF do it, it will ruin them.

    Populist party not working with other populist party.


    Let me guess you voted FF and didn't realize they are the epitomy of a populist party.


    Correct?

    Exactly!

    Is it that hard for SF to say sorry. Leave it to them to form a government. People have decided that.

    Which is as outrageous as it is predictable. An entire campaign run on not going with SF and their promises didn't last 24 hours before it was being rowed back on

    I get the feeling SF supporters are starting to get tetchy about the now extremely possible scenario of them going into government.

    Should be happy, lads. The idea of winning the popular vote is going into government. Not being opposition.

    Sure,

    But it shouldn't be taking up air time.

    We've had it for weeks.

    People don't care. If they put as much effort into fliging shiote at SF as they would their own they wouldn't have made SF the most popular party in the state.

    Live and learn.

    And the rural independents want their “fair share” according to Harkin - it is nuts, what an electorate

    Still should say sorry as not proper behaviour. They are just like FF and FG, cant say sorry.

    I understand how the GFA works thank you very much.

    Soft unionist voters that could have come round to the idea of a UI will be turned off by government in waiting glorifying the IRA in such a public manner.

    I think we should wait and see. Let FFG and some other group go in an continue to make no progress for a few years and then we will grt a majority.

    Au contraire. Mary Lou and the gang can't wait to get their hands on the levers of power. Will Leo and MM vote for her as taoiseach however.

    I don't think you do. And it's not a government. It's an individual spoonhead.


    You don't seem to know the difference.


    Thank you very much

    Apparently he said all those who voted Sinn Fein are stupid, or something similar. I don't know how accurate that is, it's why I'm looking for a link.

    I'd like to know when FFG are going to apologize for attempting to commemorate the RIC. Any apology for that?


    Or how about an apology for bankrupting the economy forcing millions of citizens to pay off banking debt.


    Or how about all the people that have died as a result of the recession?
    The horrendous management of the health services....


    No we need an apology from some gobsite that sang a song..

    Incorrect. I voted: 1. Independent 2. FG, 3. FG. Independent is excellent in the area and is currently working with FG and will do so again so it’s almost an FG vote also.
