Is it just me or have SF vanished?

I haven't seen or heard anything from Mary Lou, Slab Murphy and other good Republicans in ages.

What's going on?

Who the F*** sound want to form a government right now ? We’re going to have a bigger crash than 2008. No money in the country to deliver on promises, and having to make drastic cuts.

Actually everyone is going to be in the same boat , no country can point at another and say you lived beyond your means ala 2011.
People will be willing to accept things ordinarily unacceptable but with a caveat as to why they are necessary.
Honestly we can come out of this crisis better than imagined if the while of society is valued.

What exactly do you want SF to do right now? Argue everything the government are trying to do? You’d be doing some gurning then.

In the days after the election (I did not vote SF BTW) I thought " you know what yeah, maby it's time for change" and I was on board. Now, I'm glad they are not in Government.

No people don't like them because it's anti SF people trying to score points by looking for silly oppertunities to knock the party when in reality keeping quiet is the right thing for SF to do. We all need to take a little break from any FG/FF/SF talk.

Funnily you will always find that it is pro-SF posters who have the highest post-count on any of the threads related to Sinn Fein, or indeed any other party-political issue.

If they took the break, there would be nothing to say. As it is, pointing out the foolishness of the pro-SF defence is an entertaining diversion in these difficult times.

Funny any Sinn Fein thread you're in there. A Green party supporter with Sinn Fein derangent syndrome.

Mary lous kid goes to the Dublin school that was one of the first affected, so she has been in isolation every since.

This isn't a time for political point scoring.

They are looking after their families

So have Harris and Simon Coveney children , point scoring Sinn Fein would be good at that

I suppose this goes to show how bombarded we are with snippets and images every day, and how politicians must stay in the press or be considered vanished.

They're writing letters.....

Mary Lou in an interview the other night: "I wrote a letter to the Taoiseach outlining what needs to be done/what needed to be done".

Pearse Doherty: "I wrote a letter to the banks telling them what needs to be done"

How are these letters delivered?
Are they read?

SF have a funny way of trying to claim that they have some influence from these letters...

Pearse was like one that the bank officials were waiting at a desk for his letter to arrive for advice on what to do next ! Omg the arrogance of them

Pearse Doherty's wife re registered as a nurse to help fight the Covid 19 so he's probably a stay at home dad at the moment.

Probably not allowed she was a nurse in a private army !

The fact Varadkar is a detached doctor in a family of doctors did no favours to his popularity when the biggest concerns were about access to housing and healthcare for people outside that sort of social sphere.

Now his detachment comes across as courageous rather than indifferent, and his family are right in the middle of what's coming, not aloof from it all. He's been impressive since they started actually doing something, and his speeches have been superb.

FG bear significant responsibility for state of the health service. But right now people are concerned with what is right in front of us. And with that they inspire infinitely more confidence than SF, FF or the greens would.

So SF are quiet because attacking them might just highlight this.

Or it might show sf for what they really are - wasters

It showed the hospital and trolley crisis does not really exist only clogged up with social welfare recipients because working people have go to work and no time for a/e with a sniffle .

After WWII the British electorate swung dramatically left, embraced social democracy, and Labour were given a powerful mandate to introduce sweeping reforms that included the NHS and massive Public Housing building schemes. I could see a similar swing away from the two all-things-to-all-men FF/FG parties.

Whatever happens the world will be very different politically after all this.

theres quite a lot from Pierce Doherty on social media. just because the indo isnt slagging SF off doesnt meant theyve disappeared

Sinn Fein have cravenly backed off into the hedge when there's a proper crisis in true Homer Simpson style

When the real women and men of Ireland are trying to get the country back on it's feet Sinn Fein will come out of the cowardly hibernation and start off the mouthing, barracking, bitching and usual sniping.

Then the usual dullards, mouth breathers and armchair revolutinoaries will shakily stand up in front of their tv's and laptops, shake their fists, and do nothing other than vote for them, then they'll sit back down, fart and belch and continue being utterly useless.

You clearly have no idea of what the constitution says after an election. The previous government stays in place till a new government is formed. Form what I can see all parties are fully backing the actions of the present government with a few suggestions.

Dont worry. I am sure they will sudden have lots to say about FG's handling of the virus once its all blown over in 6 to 8 months.
