Is it just me or have SF vanished?

I haven't seen or heard anything from Mary Lou, Slab Murphy and other good Republicans in ages.

What's going on?

See Mary Lou apologising for "any hurt" caused by attending funeral no word at all for the families of those murdered by "Big Bobby"

And poor old Francie posting a picture of a murdered Guards funeral and referring to it as "paramilitary" - because he simply can't tell the difference

Christ almighty. We have already had someone compare the Sinn Fein thugs in white shirts to schoolchildren. Now we are equating Sinn Fein thugs to the Gardai. Pathetic.

Interesting apology!

What a pathetic self-serving apology.

From the 'apology' :

Words mean nothing to sf, maybe they should think about switching to Japanese for the next few months it would about as clear.

SF is showing again that they are more important in their own eyes and estimation than anyone else.

Her actions suggest she reckons her grief at Bobby Storey was significantly more important than the hundreds of families who couldn't go to the funerals of their loved ones but what can you expect from the Shinners.

I also am enjoying the "stop politicising the fact M'ON flagrantly broke the rules her very govt had put in place!!" **** when the Shinnerbots were jumping up and down with glee that time Leo went to the Phoenix Park with his partner.

Thought this was about absence of social distancing, have I missed something?

The only thing people are comparing was the mourners at both at times not adhering to the social distancing measures put in place by the last caretaker govt.

I am sure I'm not the only one noticed, there was not a whisper about the guidelines being disregarded at Garda Horkans afterwards, or to say it another way people didn't try and use his funeral to politically point score, and feign outrage about the lapse of adhering to the health guidelines. People wanted to pay their respects, many were upset, these things happen, understandably so.

It's when people started to whinge that the exact same guideline's were being disregarded at the funeral of the Sinn Fein member, people started to (rightfully in my opinion) stand back and say, hang on..... A few days ago there wasn't a peep out of the same cretins unashamedly using a funeral to point score.

some of you are just the same kind of scum that bob story was and I can hope the same agony awaits

Why?

Because some folk know when someone is trying to piss down their neck and tell them it's raining?

Mary Lou is a thug? Have you any evidence to back this up?

After the Maurice McCabe scandal do you think all Gardaí were thugs like the way they treated him?

Repeatedly pointed out,Garda Horkans funeral was a State funeral so an entirely different case altogether

So state funeral is exempt from restrictions?

I've discussed that in subsequent pages from where you quoted me
I'd imagine it is in terms of the numbers actively participating in the state part similar to Gardai on duty not being bound by numbers congregating or the 5km or 20km rule
Soc distancing and hygiene wouldn't be an exemption and would have been followed

She literally says, "No family's grief is more important than another's",

You are swallowing complete fabrications.
Nobody compared either man.
People rightly called out the hypocrisy of condemning one funeral because it was SF but giving the Garda one a free pass.
We don't know any stories about the Garda and it would be inappropriate to use the man to try argue a flawed point.

It was responding to a claim anyone in a shirt and tie was in a paramilitary uniform.

No we haven't.

You claimed there was something nefarious about people wearing shirts and ties. People are pointing out how ridiculous that is by giving comparisons. You knew that though.

I have no idea if Adams was there or not, but the IRA's Billy McMillen was one of those who drew up NICRA's constitution and signed it.

Get the history straight Bonnie and proceed from there.

I know all about NICRA. Unlike you whose historical knowledge is based on brief visits to Wikipedia.

McMillan was on NICRA executive. Do you think himself and Adams were besties

(Adams was never on NICRA executive. He was on IRA Army Council and attended conventions up to the very last one.)

A chap gets a bit tired of the likes of you trying to tell them stuff by the way. Especially when you haven't a breeze about the history of the republican movement.)

Schoolchildren wearing identical white shirts as part of uniform - no problem

Astonishing lack of understanding shown in your post.

Comparing a misrepresented tweet from so no-bit councillor to the display of strength by the Sinn Fein mafia and disregard for the law. Credibility is something that post lacks.

You are fighting from various angles on this. You said it should be dismissed because we've Covid to worry about. Your labeling of him as a 'no-bit' councillor means what exactly? How was it misrepresented? Care to explain?

Ireland big time over estimated the excess death rate in the Republic from covid 19 by 59% :eek:

Should really be in another thread. But a distraction is a distraction.
Yes, they may have miscalculated. Another Boo Boo? Hardly something to applaude, but the outcome is good.
This was the top story this morning. Since replaced by MON's apology :rolleyes:

The problem is that in Ireland this is no longer the case - those prices are going up, but incomes are not keeping pace.

Off the top of my head, the government has to disincentivise the use of existing property (both residential and commercial) as an investment vehicle, build large scale subsidised social housing like we did in the 20th century, engage in serious root-and-branch reform of personal injury laws so that businesses are no longer held liable for their patrons' own stupidity, reform the insurance sector, reduce VAT and excise duty for the hospitality sector, improve inter-city and inter-county public transport infrastructure, tackle commercial and private landlords to reduce the cost of housing and of doing business alike, and slash spending on vanity projects which nobody actually wants and public entities which refuse to get their own houses in order (take RTE for instance).

The first on that list is the big one and that's what I and many others talk about when we talk about smashing the paradigm of housing as an investment vehicle instead of as a place to live. The trading and subsequent of residential property by people and entities so they can be used to milk money from people in the form of rent is something we should never have normalised as a society - if you don't live in it and you didn't build it, you shouldn't be the one who owns it.

I imagine that you and I would disagree on a lot politically as I am generally right of centre (which means I'm a nazi according to some

), however I do appreciate the effort and thought that goes into your posts especially over the past few pages. You have explained your reasoning for voting SF very well and I can understand it. I disagree with it but your logic is a lot better than usual "SF good, FFG bad" and "up the RA!" we frequently see on these threads. And it is appreciated.

I don't agree with your view on housing. I think there is nothing wrong with people owning investment properties. I would never do it myself here in Ireland because I think the laws favour the tenants so much that it wouldn't be worth the hassle. I believe that if more could be done to protect landlord's rights and property, there would be more houses available to renters.

The bit in your post above that I bolded, I do agree with.

This is great fun. All the Shinners getting upset. The fishwife missing out on power and on the backfoot. All the **** up of their own making letting Martin off the hook and no one paying any attention to her one for everyone in the audience front bench

I think you have it in reverse chief. The likes of myself are posting on the hypocrisy of the one sided get the shinners mob.
It's shameful this non story took the public attention off politicians refusing positions and crony senate spots, one drawn from a hat. Likely the point.

I didn't say Adams was. When using even recent history, like posts made this morning on this forum, try not to lie about things that can be backed up.

YOU said the IRA had nothing to do with NICRA, McMillen was key to it's formation and the writing of it's constitution.

How many times is that now the facts have had to be pointed out to you?
