    If you think a single post of mine (or anyone else's on here) drove people to vote for Sinn Fein, you are quite deluded. What I or anyone else says on these boards has zero influence of any substance, it is just an entertaining diversion.

    I hope nobody is posting 24/7 thinking they can influence anything.

    You were on duty long before me today blanch and a quick check shows you were here late into the night too.

    Facts dear boy!

    A problem for SF could be that if the next Government get a lot of the problems sorted it will take the wind out their sail a bit because they will have nothing to complain about.

    Although it remains to be seen if that will happen or not.

    In reality they are probably delighted they couldn't get in to power because the state of the country is very different to what it was last Feb.

    Difficult and unpopular decisions will have to be made over the next few years to get things back on track.
    Across the board about 15% of each party are people who can be trusted to be able to run government. The rest are glorified county council band wagon jumpers.
    The job of the three party government is to make sure the 85% do the job at local level to tie up as many votes as possible

    What are they doing retweeting everyone from Katie Taylor to Piers Morgan to Una Mullally?

    Past links? :):)

    Embarrassed for you there Johnny.

    Sinn Finn popped up on my FB feed for the first time in months today with Mary Lou waffling about change cannot be stopped. I must say that 90% of the comments under it are not complimentary to SF.

    Wonder will any of the media ask MLD about SF rolling out the red carpet for Conlan not too long ago? SF's Janice Boylan is a relative of DK also.

    Are they retweeting any other political party? Or is it only Sinn Fein that they have a special relationship with?

    It’s the same on Twitter. The endless moaning, lack of understanding of democracy, notmytaoiseach hashtags, and badly translated Irish names are just annoying people at this stage. Time to call off the troops.

    You were on duty long before me today

    At long last- you have finally admitted that you are on duty.
    The truth comes out - you are here on duty for SF.

    What is the pay like? Asking for a friend.

    Well, she'll always be a relative of his. SF gave Conlan the full VIP treatment for his last fight. Hopefully someone will ask MLD why it was acceptable then but not now.

    Mick Conlan, the boxer. Had a fight in Belfast in December. Happens to work for MTK aka Meet the Kinahans.

    What's the problem with Conlan?

    I supported and loved Muhammad Ali, does that mean I endorse some of the backroom boys and management/promoters?

    Get a wee grip here.

    Well, MLD has a problem with the Fury fight but no problem with the Conlan fight. What's the difference?

    Less than a year ago posing with MTK's Conlan and i think that's SF's Janice Boylan, DK cousin, in the picture too.

    DK had some involvement in organizing the fight too.

    How did that change things, DK has been involved in boxing for nearly a decade. He was involved when Conlan and Barnes signed for them.

    So why is MLD suddenly concerned now about his involvement ?

    Why is Leo all of a sudden concerned? Was he admonishing individual boxers and trying to implicate them in involvement with the alleged crimes of their bosses?

    You couldn't support or praise most pro boxers in history if that was the case.

    I'd fancy your problem with Conlan is his very evident northern republican background.

    Where in any of my posts do i say i have a problem with Conlan?

    My issue here is with MLD and SF.

    Can you explain the differences between the Conlan fight and the proposed Fury fight?

    Does she know Conlan personally maybe?
    Is Conlan an Irish fighter maybe?

    You can have an issue with a fighter management and still admire and support the fighter you know. Has happened multiple times in boxing.

    This is what she said in the papers yesterday about DK.

    "The future of Irish boxing and of our communities behoves us to resist the clutches of the Kinahans in the strongest possible terms."

    SF in NI gave him full VIP treatment, lots of pics of him with Pat Finucane etc. Hardly resisting in the strongest possible terms.

    Everybody is now saying that.

    Where they saying it when Conlan fought Nikitin? No they weren't...BBC, Eir Sports all happy to cover and promote the fight.

    Nobody else condemning them...interceding with royal families to ask them to reassess... etc etc.

    The situation has changed...politicians have reacted.

    Outside of Ireland, DK isn't well known but in Ireland everyone knew and given that he and the rest of MTK were banned from fighting in the Republic prior to the Nikitin fight, SF can't use that excuse.

    You seems to be suggesting that SF were unaware of Conlan links to Daniel Kinnahan.
