Hypotheticals are clearly better things to discuss than the shambles were are currently seeing play out in real time for some. How are the Greens getting on Blanch?

Which bit of "things would be worse if Sinn Fein had got in and reduced the pension age and spent the Apple money as they promised" do you disagree with?

How do you know what they would have done?
They wouldn't have caused as much ****s ups in month 1 as the FFG party have caused. Scandal after scandal after scandal, Leo and MM obvs don't talk and Leo says stuff that he knows are lies (i.e airports are giving Govt passenger info, just to make MM look bad)

Are you saying that Sinn Fein are in the habit of breaking their promises?

If they had done what they promised, this country would be a lot worse off.

You might remember Pearse Doherty standing like an ass with a sign about the pension age at the manifesto launch, was he lying? When they wanted the government to spend Apple's money was that just having a bit of craic?

No issue with that.

Does that mean that you are accepting that Sinn Fein are liars, but are no different than other parties?

I'm not accepting that about SF because it's all hypothetical.

Only principle Sinn Féin have is power.

First voting to give Westminster jurisdiction over Social Welfare in NI now this - throwing the people they should be protecting to the dogs!

So you think Sinn Fein would have spent the Apple money or you think they lied about spending it? I am confused as you seem to hold both views at the same time.

What has that got to do with SF's hair brained pension and spending plans?

Just seen some Cork Sinn Fein member is suing Joe Duffy not for being a fake self serving sanctimonious dick as you might expect but for defamation.

Hard to imagine that anyone who would join Sinn Fein would have character capable of suffering injury by being defamed but there you go.

Hard to watch a case where you want both parties to lose.

Actually he is sueing RTE & Joe Duffy, so you will end up paying for it with your licence fee!

Seems Sinn Féin bought a property in Donegal with cash.

Doesn't take Einstein to work out that this is part of a burgeoning story relating to SF owning at least 50 properties around the country. Where the money came for to make these purchases will be the subject of much scrutiny over the coming months.

Fifty properties? So the party that rails against vulture funds and landlords turns out to be a significant landlord themselves.

What is that line from Animal Farm?

I’m sure those that were accusing others of attacking Leo for his sexuality will be here to defend Fintan any minute now....

Who is Fintan?

Don't have any issues with his sexuality, might even change my username to "Fintan Warfield's Partner" to prove that I have no issues with his sexuality

The one in Belfast looks a lot more valuable than that.

As for the one in Donegal, if its only work 50k, that's bad for him after all the money he spent renovating it.

Seems there is more talk in this thread about FG and Leo rather then SF.

Lets see.

Leo is mentioned 296 times
FG is mentioned 957 times
FF is mentioned 631 times
FFG is mentioned 116 times

Just saying.

The purchase of the Donegal Property was a Constituency Office for Pearse Doherty. So they own their own Constituency Offices instead of paying out to landlords!

Whats the problem with doing that?

The "problem" is that they are pretending to survive on the average industrial wage. I don't believe they are.

I would guess that every political party would like to do this, but none of them have the finances that Sinn Fein have gathered in over the years from various activities.

Pearse Doherty didn't buy the Constituency Office, Sinn Fein did, which might suggest that SF TDs just taking the average industrial wage and donating the rest to the party is the reason why Sinn Fein has so much money that they can buy constituency offices.

Is it just me or have SF vanished?
