    Why have you put medical professionals in quotes?

    SF supporters now denying that SF opposed government & HSE strategy by calling for lockdown a week ago.

    TIMING is the most important factor in this crisis. But Sinn Fein always know better.

    Just as cheap isn't the same. A 1% increase isn't setting the world alright especially given the austerity levels. Lot of good it's doing us too now that our mortgages are twice the EU average, more expensive than Greece's and the most expensive in Europe.

    Timing on the Government's part has been excellent. Panic can cause so many problems and they have almost completely avoided it. Fair play.

    And two days later the caretaker government come to the same conclusion, didn't stop you bitching stupidly about SF though. A lot of childish nonsense spouted on here and none of it does any damage to SF whatsoever. Such moaning and bitching in the MSM re SF has proven beneficial to them in actual fact. Keep it up bitches.:pac:

    To be fair to Sinn Fein the reason they have gone quite is the fact that nobody wants to talk to them. They must be gutted just when it seemed as if there moment had come Covid 19 arrives on the scene . I think the Green party are showing a complete lack of leadership they are wanted by FG/FF but so far are not talking in any serious way

    Why don't they just say nothing? McDonald was calling for lockdown on the 23rd, against government and HSE strategy.

    We do not need to hear from Sinn Fein, they have nothing to offer other than opportunist populist politics.

    Look at the title of the thread you're posting in.25% of the results in the last election went to them no amount of spin will undo that.

    SF and others also said trolley numbers were fixable.
    As we can see they were right.

    Whose fault was it that there were people on trolleys?
    If it was a kneecap injury we knew whose fault it was

    Aaaaaand if they said nothing you’d be complaining that they’re vanished.

    I’ll refer you to the thread title.


    Also they’re the biggest party on the island and have the largest share of votes in the country.


    That really really really boils your piss doesn’t it? :)

    Covid 19 had nothing to do with SF not getting onto government. When the results became finalised Michael Martin realised that a deal with SF would not mean a senior partner/junior partner type deal so instead Mehole decided to go in with FG instead even though he said he wouldn't go into government with them either pre election.

    100% - 75% = 25 %. Dammit I still cant get that sum to make 25% a majority.
    Perhaps Pearse could jig the figures a bit like Dessie Ellis does with having the average industrial wage around 90,000

    "Mehole" ? I hope the Covid doesnt stop you moving class next September. Three years in third class must be boring

    :pac: Way to miss the point. Great deflection.

    Where's that video of MM that someone put up on here where he said time and time and time again that he would not go into government with FG?

    That's a terrible way to run a country, and the way SF probably would do it. Whats.popular, what sounds good, no long term planning etc etc.

    Judging the mood for elections yes, and for certain referenda, but not for running the country.

    But But But it wasn't popular to call for non essential Construction sites to be closed a few days like SF were calling for. No one in the construction sector according to FFG fanboys on here wanted it and SF were being hammered on here for calling for Building site closures. So how does that fit in with your narrative?

    15bn deficit in 2020
    15bn again in 2021??

    That’s basically all the free gaffs, welfare spending etc in the SF manifesto.
    And I think these estimates are VERY conservative. The narrow tax base will really bite this time.

    March 17th, Leo is expecting 15,000 cases by today = no extra restrictions

    Today...nowhere near the amount forecast = extra special restrictions/lockdown.

    I think SF and the opposition are being easy on them because it is a crisis.

    But it sounds to me that they are playing this by ear and have no real idea what way it is going or have a plan for it.
