The thought is always late in coming to this party and they always always jump out in front of everyone else had the idea and claim it as their own. See marriage equality and repeal as the two biggest examples. Two issues they wouldn’t have touched with a barge pole if it it weren’t for being made to by public opinion.

Having been in power for 9 years, they did nothing, people have no homes, people still on trollies. FG may have given some of their rich buddies some tax breaks. But other than that, they did what FG do best, are their poor hands not numb by now.

Emailed all my local tds and Mary lous office actually rang me took all the details and came back to me after saying it was sorted and not to worry about it. No other tds offices even replied to the email. My pal and her fella and daughter were in emergency accommodation and o broin got them a deposit for a place and on some advanced housing lust (a cbe I think it’s called) People on joe Duffy last week saying they have sf members bringing them to hospital for their regular appointments. That’s just top of my head but you’ll much more of it in places like Tallaght and Cabra

Last thing we need is SF shouting and trying to score points. The election is over, they can throw as much mud as they want after this thing is sorted..... Would that not be better?

Really do you like people shouting to the press??? maybe SF should stand behind the government and help, not go around shooting it mouth off to RTE and cause more distress for people....

Including in my area, the guy who was voted in and nobody know him, what he has done for area etc. He got on because people voted SF as a f** you to FF/FG..... So please share this great work? because I dont see it

Runaways wrote: » Fair enough. But it’s bizarre to me how little people on here are aware of what SFs actually do in their constituencies. They genuinely do work really hard and get sh!t done for people. And they don’t trumpet it like your Healy raes etc. My thinking is we’ve finally woken up to the definition of insanity as a country. It’s time to try something else. FFFG only see us as taxpayers and bovine burdens simultaneously. They’re completely out of touch with ordinary people. To the last man of them. Whereas SF are the exact opposite in my reading of it

If they go into opposition we will have 4-5 years of SF throwing mud while pages and pages like this on every forum from people who think they know politics but havent a clue. The best thing was to stick SF in, problem is, contrary to what some people say, they actually got 24% of the vote so massively under any sort of majority. No party want to get in with them because they will be dragged down so we are in a terrible situation that will allow SF go into opposition, they will do nothing but throw mud while whoever is in power will try do some good. SF in the north and in the south have done exactly what in the last 10 years to improve the Island of Ireland? As posted already, they managed to do lots of bad. People seem to forget this
