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.

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

That was from the 2nd of March for two weeks. Self isolation is well over. If you are in self ioslation, there is still plenty of ways to communicate to the outside world!

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 !

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

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.

Funnily sinn Fein were in our our face 24/7 up to 2 weeks ago ! Complaining and complaining but no action , there a great opposition party but please leave them there

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Whatever your political leanings, Sinn Fein being in government now would be a disaster..... this is nothing personal but they have no experience or networks within the government departments - SF have not been in government and now is not the time for a new government (however formed) to be finding their feet

So basically now is a time for silence!

Well they haven't gone away you know

No just being responsible

It's a no win scenario for all tds. Sf don't want to form a government and be responsible for morgue trucks.

SF say something: "They should shut the hell up and let FG sort this out."

SF say nothing: "Well well well, look at the cowardly Shinners hiding out when there's a real crisis."

That’s utter rubbish. Three other parents of kids in that school work with me. The parents were told that they don’t need to isolate only the kids. It’s her playing the victim card as usual.

Not only that, she set an early example of ignoring the rules set out by the HSE. The Irish entitlement culture live by the “I know best” and “I will do what I want” rules and rather than give real leadership and follow the expert guidelines, Mary-Lou played to that gallery.

When you spend your life hiding from the spotlight, you sure don’t like it when it is turned on you. That is why some people don’t like these threads.

Yet the millionth SF thread

SF are always the victim.

Funny how they were able to collapse Stormont over an Irish Language Act, yet last week when they could have collapsed Stormont over schools not closing, they did not do so.

In a choice between protest and positive action, protest always wins with SF.

Anyway they'll be back with a bang once things have all settled down, rest assured.

Absolutely. They'll be out in a few weeks saying how they would have done everything better and some saps will believe them.

Simply put, Fine Gael are in government and they control the levers of power.

Sinn Fein, for the moment, are the opposition.
