Is it just me or have SF vanished?

Pkiernan

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

What's going on?

Sinn Fein are a neo Fascist party run by criminals and lightweights wheeling out meaningless populist drivel for those to young to realise what they are or too criminalised to care.

this above is precisely why its a waste of time debating anything SF or north related. especially since the poster uses the words 'neo facist'. one minute sf are communists, the next they are the opposite

"neofascism advocated extreme nationalism, opposed liberal individualism, attacked Marxist and other left-wing ideologies, indulged in racist and xenophobic scapegoating, and promoted populist right-wing economic programs."

Thats sounds more like FFG to me

Houses are not being built. Commerical properties are being incentivised. Why would any builder build houses when there is more money in building hotels and communal accommodation.

If no-one can afford them no-one will buy them and prices will fall until someone can afford them. Maybe Ireland is a rich enough society that they will be sold out - or maybe the local authority will buy one and give it to Violet Ann or some other needy and deserving case

The bit in bold is rubbish. A few thousand houses have been built out in Swords in the last few years and more are being built. And they are starting at less than 300K. Available and affordable. But not free so I guess SF voters won't be interested.

A few 2 bed houses at 297K. 3-4 bed are 400-500K.

There is no such thing as a free house. What people are voting for is affordable housing in Dublin which is the area that is really affected.

That seems to be the FF/FG policy. The local authorities spend tax payers money inflating property developers bank accounts.

The previous poster was correct.

It was Sinn Fein policy to take power in Ireland by force.

This was the “Armalite and Ballot Box Strategy”

“Who here really believes we can win the war through the ballot box? But will anyone here object if, with a ballot paper in this hand and an Armalite in the other, we take power in Ireland?”

Danny Morrison. IRA member and Sinn Fein director of publicity. He had been jailed for conspiracy to murder an IRA British intelligence agent. His conviction was later overturned because other British agents within the IRA were also involved in the conspiracy to murder the first IRA informer.

Why bring ex hunger striker Tom McFeely in to it?

I don't know why you are bringing him into it. Is he a member of Sinn Fein? Has Sinn Fein defended him over Priory Hall or is this just you slinging mud hoping some will stick?

What are you saying here?

Nauseating hypocrisy on show from Sinn Fein again today.

https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2020/0821/1160454-calleary-reaction/

"Sinn Féin's David Cullinane has said Mr Hogan should resign as EU Commissioner.

Speaking on RTÉ's Today with Sarah McInerney, the Waterford TD said Mr Hogan breached guidelines, adding he is "a very, very experienced politician and should have known what the guidelines were."

Deputy Cullinane said the episode "smacks of arrogance" and shows there is "confusion, chaos and dysfunction at the heart of the Government".

Where was he when Michelle O'Neill, Conor Murphy, Mary-Lou et al all broke the lockdown rules and attended Bobby Storey's funeral.

As is normal, the one rule for Sinn Fein, one rule for others continues within the state within a state.

P.S. I am on record stating that Jerry Buttimer and Dara Calleary were right to resign, this is about Sinn Fein hypocrisy.

I think he falls into the good republican category rather than the Sinn Fein member category.

So has nothing to do with Sinn Fein then? Is he a dissident republican?

You could call it the Friends of Gerry Adams category too if you want.

theres no similarities at all between people attending a funeral in the north (which is a different country according to many of you) and government officials flouting their own guidelines.

The virus needs Gerrys permission before infecting Shinners, so they should be OK!

Oh, you are giving Mary-Lou and Pearse a pass, but if I recall correctly, weren't Michelle and Conor at the same funeral flouting their own guidelines.

Once again, the nauseating stink of Sinn Fein hypocrisy permeates these threads.

The SF leader has asked the Taoiseach to recall the Dáil, he has refused apparently.

I'm i agreement that the Dail should be recalled.
MM is making a mess of everything. Need Leo back in charge.
I'd even take Gerry as boss now..

I agree with the sentiment, but things are only going to get harder from now on (COVID related). The next Taoiseach will possibly have the most difficult time of it in recent decades.

A big help would be to stop shooting themselves in the foot though.

I thought she'd stay quiet given the Storey mock funeral debacle.

Right thing to do even if the wrong person is calling for it.

Apart from the fact MoN and all the northern NI SF crew did in fact flout their own guidelines? SF are in government in the North, are they not?

Are you trying to say that Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are one and the same country?

She is handing Leo the opportunity to stand up in the Dail and praise Dara Calleary for doing the right thing by resigning but pointing out the hypocrisy of Mary-Lou defending Conor Murphy and Michelle O'Neill.

Leo took immediate action against his three Senators, no messing, he will come out of this looking good.
