FF are in govt and they have yet to expunge the bang of cronyism and the whiff of the Galway tents off them.
FG have yet to expunge the bang of being in thrall to D O'B and whiff of snout in the trough off them.

So from where I am standing it's wall to wall greasy underbellies, I'm just not locked into pointing it out when it's only SF.

I guess the usual coins will be turning this into a SF thread again to deflect from the latest view of the greasy bellies of FF.

Brendan should be able to explain it to you as he uses the term when he wants to be 'edgy'.

No worries BB.
I still understood the cricket reference despite being short.

Thanks

A ‘coin’ I’m led to believe is a person who makes a lot of noise rattling around (in your pocket) and is not worth much.

More trouble than it is worth, kind of.......

Thanks again.

I hope not in Ferris' case as his vocal support for so-called 'rural pursuits' are one of the reasons SF are on my No Vote list.

But if would be foolish to think SF will never be in govt.

You're cool with bomb maker Ellis though?

Was he in the car when Cowen was drunk driving?

Technically he was not found to be drunk, which is an ambiguous term anyway.

Driving whilst under the influence of alcohol, or having alcohol levels above the legally allowable limit..

Ah - small piece (pun intended) of historical trivia. In Tudor England the word 'Dandyprat' was a common insult for men who were small in stature but wore very fancy clothes and considered themselves important. They were called that because Henry VIII introduced a coin called a dandyprat that was small, very fancy looking, but made of such debased metal it was worthless.

FFS all this po faced puritanical virtue signalling. Cowan barely over the limit, michelle ONeill travelling to Dublin, mary Lou traipsing around Belfast, measuring who was where at a funeral. All bollockology of no relevance to anything

Being in a car slightly over the limit being so much worse than deliberately putting a bomb in it to use it to kill and mutilate whoever happens to ne passing

No doubt, with Cowen behind the wheel.

So Cowen gets a pass because there is somebody else who did something else that was worse?

Is this how we are proposing to run the country?

I don't see the connection? Are you just throwing it in to save FF's blushes? Odd ananalogy.

He didnt get a pass . He was fined, put off the road and faces the public humiliation ongoing now. Unlike Yourself and the fellow SinnFein IRA travellers who not only want a pass but glory and celebrate your deliberate murder campaign

Did I pick up correctly on the radio today that Cowen was a learner driver at the time also?

Ellis and Ferris both faced the penalty for their crimes committed during a conflict/war.

But you didn't answer the question suprisingly enough.

Is this how you propose running the country...if somebody is found to have done something wrong, you simply point at somebody else to excuse them or to give them a pass from scrutiny or account?

Think this will blow over. Guess the Indo knew about this a long time ago, but no better time to throw it out there than to celebrate the passing for the first week for FF being back at the helm.

If that's what's a week's like for Micheal Martin, the poor man will be on the sauce by Christmas. My FF friends tell me that this has been brewing for the last 2 years with noises from many quarters wanting to ditch the previous agreement with FG. If you'd be critical of that and now once your party got the keys to the kingdom (well, part of them) you'd probably be mighty fed up if you or your area hasn't landed one of the top jobs.

They obviously did know about it.
Which only confirms that that paper has an agenda of its own.
Why did they not report it before the government was formed?

As for this government its obvious that it will not last 5 years.
We are not seeing the opposition trying to rip the government apart at the moment, its all happening from within.
We have gone from proposal, to marriage to pending divorce proceedings in a matter of weeks before a honeymoon could even take place. Is obvious that this government is not going to last.

Again he didnt get a pass - and no-one is celebrating.

Plus there was no war. One of thr reasons we know this is the whining and squealing from Sinn Fein about "shoot to kill" policies when the Brits shot back

Cowan driving drunk wasn't part of FF's campaign so unlikely it would be celebrated.
The fact you want to shut down any discussion on it is a poor attempt at censorship.

You are attempting to give him a 'pass' by pointing over there at somebody else.
He is being scrutinised at the moment because this affair was hidden from his leader (allegedly).
Unless you are saying it is ok for a senior minister to drink drive aas long as he serves his time/pays his penalty?

Is that what you are saying?

Not necessarily.

Drunk is an ambiguous term when applying it to every situation.

Hence why he was not convicted of “drunk driving.”
