The Curious Case of Violet-Anne Wynne

Hopefully the more she carries on like this the more attention people pay to who they vote for.

At least the likes of Lowry, the Healy-Rea brothers etc occasionally get stuff done locally (while lining their pockets) but this one will do nothing positive for the people of Clare or Ireland.

Isn't access to free legal aid means tested in Ireland and yet Paul Murphy TD qualified for it during the water protests!

Poor lad only takes average industrial wage. The rest goes to the party. Which party I’m not sure.

Also isn’t Ruth Coppinger living in a social house. She wants every citizen living in one.

'Timmy do nothing'and 'Prat Breen.'

Priceless.

SF need to ‘decommission’ this lady asap.

There are quite a few dodgy ones.

People need to take responsibility for their own foolishness. In their rush to protest, they elected a person who can't even spell.

Sinn Fein quality of candidates varies hugely and this will be to their downfall.

The pants party. He is inviting everyone to the pants party.

As soon as the crisis is over I think another election should be called. Breaks my heart that she may be getting a generous salary plus expenses for 5 years. If there was another election, she’d be out on her ear so the sooner the better.

And why is she saying she secured housing for someone? That’s the councils job not a TDs!

Making up for the housing charity (that housed her) she put out of business perhaps?

Shatter tried reforming the legal system when minister. The law society were celebrating when he was ousted.

Agreed, I consider Shatter to be one of the good guys.

The Clare FM Facebook thread is really worth a read. She is bad, very bad. Oh my.

JohnnyFlash · 11-04-2020 01:28PM

Is she a fan of the old ‘Mary Jane’ by any chance?

I'm no shinner but having read the comments in full....they're hardly that bad. At most a sitting representative probably shouldn't be getting into public spats online with constituents, but at worst her grammar/ punctuation makes her look a bit daft and that's about the height of it.

Some of what local SF councillors come out with on the buke would make your eyes water.

Rodney Bathgate · 11-04-2020 02:53PM

Is this the lady who refused to pay rent for 4 years?

Also an ‘anti-vaxxer’ from what I understand?

I believe she is in line to become joint Health and Housing Minister if SF get their left wing coalition off the ground?

Word on the grapevine.

She would fit in well on boards.ie, deflecting the hard questions etc.

freshpopcorn · 11-04-2020 03:08PM

I wonder where does she stand on this vaccination?

I'm not sure which is more ridiculous, the idea or that you think it's possible.

It was a joke, she is about as qualified for those positions as anyone in her party though.

Her taking advantage of a housing charity is much worse in my eyes. This is just enforcing the type of person many would think she is and of what she will do for the people of Clare.

She shouldn't be insulting other politicians either, it's pathetic.

She's issued a very unconvincing apology. Me thinks she may have been advised to do so.

Seems okay with no random punctuation.

piplip87 · 11-04-2020 11:41PM

She obviously recieved the wrong email from SF HQ. She got the one for supporters not elected officials.

You know the one where it says to always insult those you disagree with as you cannot be expected to know facts......

Limestone Cowboy · 12-04-2020 12:30AM

I don't know what's funnier, The fact an elected td thinks that is acceptable behavior or the blinkered clowns that are still defending her. It's beyond belief how she ended up where she is.

There is at least one reference in that thread to "blueshirts." In boards.ie I got pissed off that lazy, propagandist cliché and I said that if I read it once more in boards I would begin to call the shinners Hitler's Fellow Travellers (HFT for short) and would keep calling them that until it stuck. And if anyone challenged me to substantiate it I would gladly do so. I hesitate to engage in Trump-like self-congratulation, but I haven't read the "blueshirt" slur since I did so. Maybe the shinnerbots, at their monthly briefing or whatever, were instructed to desist in order to avoid a greater evil. You see, there is no FGer alive now who wore a blue shirt, though there may be a few "republican" survivors of the Nazi collaboration, which lasted longer (notice how I put "republican" in inverted commas.) There certainly have to be survivors from the collaboration with SPONK ( i.e. the Socialist Paradise of North Korea.)
Maybe it's time the HFT threat was made elsewhere.

P.S. I am not an FG supporter, nor did I give them no.1 in 2020.

Shefwedfan · 12-04-2020 08:28PM

Has she started to pay back any of the money yet? Or this just a little storm to switch people attention?

Are you kidding?

That money won’t be paid back ever.

JCX BXC · 12-04-2020 08:46PM

Charity doesn't even exist anymore, largely thanks to her, so no money will ever be repaid. Her offer to donate money to another charity of her choosing is total BS.
