How is wanting to keep the situation stable and not giving targets to people who wish to de-stabilise a political dig?

So SF criticises the decision to ask the army to help distribute medical supplies but they won't stand in the way of any measure to protect lives?

I presume it's acceptable as a last last resource.

Anyone with sense who wishes to keep things stable in NI would not have the BA next or near the place.
Anyway with almost a 1000 people dead in Britain they may be needed there first.

There are still elements who will attack a BA presence in NI, they are a very very last resort.

As the article points out there are plenty within NI willing to help and with the resources too. Doesn't look to me that all resources have 'been exhausted'.

Which is it?

Has Conor been telling porkies again?

Do you guys just read headlines?

From the article:

Sinn Fein has made it clear we will not rule out any measure necessary to save lives, protect the public and tackle the spread of Coronavirus,"

I see SF are now going on the: FF/FG exculded us from government but are now trying to steal our policies....

So trying to sort out homelessness and health now belong to SF ?

Is this what we will be in for ? Every decision the government make will be lambasted by SF because they think they have a monopoly on certain issues ?

I'll tell you what FF/FG won't do. They won't look at the Vacent site levey which take in 1 Million and double it to 100 Million to fund it.......

Tbf they are actually implenting SF policies??

Like they are kinda what decided last election in most areas,it would be gross incompetence to.not do so.......like i welcome.anyone implenting policies to improve lives of those living here,i dont see whats to.complain about??

Sinn Féin has criticised a decision by the Stormont Health Minister to formally request assistance from the British Army to help deal with the coronavirus crisis.

Robin Swann said he has asked the military to assist with the distribution of lifesaving equipment and in the planning for a temporary emergency hospital.

Tbf FF and FG have come out and said they dont want 47.6 % of first preference votes in waterford (just of elected tds,) to be in government (38.3 sf plus 9.3 indo)

But are happy for mary butler (a particulary stupid td) on 12.4% and are wanting green canditadte who got 7.4% to be in??

Its somewhat difficult to draw any conclusion,other than they think people of waterford arent wanted

Well if there is a FF FG Green coalition they will be two reps from Waterford and the Cardiac TD might throw his lot in. Thats 75% pro Government.
Mr. "Up the Ra" can whine away for the nextfour years on the opposition bench

Ive not said anything otherwise??

You've said they're keeping poll toppers out of government
They didnt have two massive Kerry poll toppers in it last time,I don't recall similar complaints
Besides,best way to get into the next government is to agree a programme that commands s majority of Td's
No sign of that from Sinn Féin (yet)

I do but I'm am in the half that presented Pauline Tully for election. Hopefully her political decisions are better than the decisions on who she chose to marry(which says a lot about her). McElvaney and Conlon definitely done themselves or their party no favours with their actions. Are they part of your reason for voting SF? For what its worth I think Matt Carty is a decent politician. It would be nice if him and Heather Humphries could work together.

Put it this way, McElvaney and Conlan and an assortment of loons in the local party didn't prevent me from voting for FG in 2011.
There isn't a party in Ireland that you couldn't dissect like that..nor the world I'd imagine.

Yes it is 'whataboutery' because it is ridiculous to point to one elected rep and try to say all that party are like that. Unless you apply that standard across the board.

There is no way in hell I would say all of FG is like McElvaney.

Yes one elected rep shouldn't tarnish an entire party. SF is such a mixed bag of representatives that it's very hard to know their standard at all.

Sinn Fein voters aren't bothered by things like that. Over 14000 of them gave first preference votes to a man who was jailed for having bomb making equipment under his bed and links to several bombs(through his fingerprints) in the UK. I'm not saying SF have links to the IRA but join the dots....

You would have to be naive to believe the Shinners and IRA aren't connected.. worrying times indeed.
