But there is absolutely no contradiction anyway in handing out food and supplies to cocooners

To.me.there is,when he rants about people using it for PR anyway

But sure lookit,its all in past now (and a somewhat amusing sidenote to cv-19 here)

Though i see that stormont civil servents are complaining on being left out of loop by varadkar and in dark.about restriction changes,despite giving dublin advance notice of theres.

How is he not told em/sent advance notice before announcing restrictions in america,or before unveiling roadmap on the late late show??

He is only one critised for this,by civil servents,harris is singled out for praise in his conduct with the virus by stormont offials??

It's understood that the Stormont Executive will brief Dublin over the weekend about their plans for further loosening of restrictions, however officials within Stormont "are quite aware we won't get the same".

....kind of seems to be policy enacted by someone imo

Because it's a learning experience
A lot going on
It's not life or death that they should have advance notice on those
Besides the north could not act on anything until the UK gave funding
But I'd say the another reason might have been leak plugging,I don't know

A breakdown in communication is okay once, but the second time it's not an accident. From an administrative standpoint, it's a pain in the arse.” Senior Stormont minister says there is cross border cooperation at every level apart from the Taoiseach.

Seems to me,he (like several un named boards posters),is leaving a irrational dislike of SF/MLMD blind his better judgement and commonsense

Like theres noone can rattle him like.mary-lou by just simply being there

Page 13 The Sunday Times, an article by Brenda Power really nails what SF is all about. At least for me anyway. They really need to get rid of this hostile and uncouth way of doing politics!

I haven't read the article, so no idea what it contains, but to summarise - you found an article written by a raging homophobic conservative, which you seem to agree with?

Is there more to this exciting tale or is that it?

No. Read the article. It’s fact based...

And it’s not an exciting tale, either!

Fact based by arse! Its a commentary on the language skills of ''shinnerbots'' , who she claimed were the people responsible for slagging off Sean Cavanagh over referring to being ''up here in the UK'' and slagging off Eoin O Broin for cooking a fancy dinner that should be above his station!

Yes

People are allowed hold politically different views to you....shinnerz built theirs at a snails pace and were mocked for not capitalising more in austrity in polling.figures

Like how gemma odoherty and national party are building at a snails pace now,but in 10 years to 20 years could easily be a force to be recognised in irish politics.....

May you live in interesting times

You realise that instead of building social we are entering into 25 year leases with vulture funds, to house the very same people right? So the options are hotels, 25 year leases, private landlords or social housing.

We have a society and we must deal with everyone at some level. If you push for evictions, cool, then we need pay for a hotel.

This is some really confused thinking where you are mixing up short, medium and long-term solutions and comparing them to each other.

Hotels and B&Bs are immediate short-term solutions which will always be needed to help people become newly homeless or homeless for a short period.

You used an 11-year old article to suggest that somebody is currently a raging homophobic conservative?

Is there nothing from say the last year to show that her views have or haven't changed?

She wrote that shortly after Paul Quinn's murder, so I assume you agree that makes his murder topical to today's politics?

I didn't give Breda Power a pass (and I wouldn't give her a pass), I just noted the fact that events of over a decade ago are now ok to be referred to.

I never said, he attacked me, he attacked the character of the author who wrote the article, rather than the content of the article itself.

A classic case of an Ad Hominem

It is normal practice among republicans - label the opposition in order to dehumanise them (e.g. partitionists, West Brits etc.) and use that to ignore their valid views.
