In fact, Stephen Byrne had worked at the Guinness Brewery for almost 40 years. In later years, he suffered with dementia and was cared for by Maura until moving to a nursing home last year.When Stephen passed away in April, Maura was also battling Covid-19 in hospital, and was unable to attend her husband's funeral. "I couldn't get near him, because I was locked in here," Maura recalls, tears streaming down her face.

Again, my Brexit Britain/SF/UKIP comparisons are apt. When Dominic Cummings was caught out we say the same 'Liberal media elite, blah blah blah' excuses drawn out by the likes of Brendan o'Neill. There is always some ghost, some boogeyman out there to slay, rather than admitting you ****ed up mightly and apologise. Christ, even Cummings issues a statement with a half-arse apology! So, when the leader of the opposition ignores all the health advice and travels to Belfast, another country for a packed funeral and doest bat an eyelid, then it tells you a lot about the person. It is non-essential travel. Why did Jonathan Gould have to travel all the way to Belfast from Cork, was it essential? It was my arse.

As Sinn Féin have pointed out, they set up streaming of the funeral which 1/4 of a million people watched and they couldn't be held account for how many people turned up to line the streets. They had been in touch with PSNI before the funeral to tell them the plans. Michelle O Neill went to Dublin, because she's allowed as our Govt made the rules, as Sinn Féin had a party meeting which she's a member of

Same way the FG TD the Gardai funeral broke no laws. Point scoring over funerals, thats how low FF/G have got.
TheCitizen wrote: » Positively seething now that for the first time since the foundation of the state FF and FG no longer lead both government and opposition, exclusively controlling the levers of power with a double lock mechanism as they swap the trappings of office back and forth between them. Those days have gone. Bring it on FFGer, the more you vent your spleen the more it galvanises SF support.

How does it feel by the way...you defended every non SF breach of the regs and spirit of the regs on here, whipping out the forensics and 'expert' analysis of the photographic evidence. Now here you are telling porkies, exaggerating what was going on in the photos from Belfast, (which, by the way, I have said was wrong and should not have happened.) Do you feel a bit like Jamie and Sammy? Desperate to make as much political gain as you can out of this?https://twitter.com/limboss12/status/1278338188403257344

christy c wrote: » Absolute gibberish. You don't think their stupid actions and policies might be why people criticise them? Fine level of arrogance there any FG member or politician would be proud of. FFGer? Your distraction methods are becoming more pathetic. You'd have been better keeping your head down and this would have blown over.
