Anyone, with a connection to a group that have been involved in thuggish criminality or supported thuggish criminality is unfit for public office - that includes the whole of Sinn Fein.

What we have learned since the last election is that the FG government did a far better job at handling the pandemic than the more recent incarnation led by Micheal Martin. As several people have said to me recently, they felt much more reassured and confident about the government when listening to Leo.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Thanks for proving the point. You just convicted a man and others, without a trial or a chance to defend his name. Exactly what I said blanch does when it comes to SF. Mairia was centrally involved with dissidents and with the IRA, which precludes her from public office under blanch's regime. P.S. Unless of course they make allegations about SF seemingly then it's ok.

What I do know is he crossed the son of a well known ‘good republican’ who is a close confidant of the ultimate ‘good republican’, Thomas Slab Murphy. At least 12 people were present in the shed that night as Quinn was tortured to death. And the entire community up there knows who is involved. Omertà. Silence. Fear. And the former leader and president of SF knows exactly who was involved. The bearded sociopath. A morally repugnant and deeply abnormal party. A disgusting blight on Irish democracy. Anyone who supports them has absolutely no right to comment on anything else relating to the institutions and structures of this State. Morally bankrupt.

If say, Conor Murphy was to repudiate the IRA, report on his contacts with the IRA in relation to Paul Quinn and name his contacts, then he has a route to redemption. You can see from her public statements that Mairia Cahill has already followed this route.

Paul Quinn ? if in doubt try to smear the victims , a long standing SF tactic theres other threads that you are in where sinner bots try to claim that the McCabe murder was a personal payback hit not a greed driving robbery same thing

FrancieBrady wrote: » Same old same old comeback when challenged. You just convicted a man who has never had the chance to defend the allegations against him n a court of law along with the others accused. Own that. Everyone has rights and it isn't up to you, me or anyone else to decide who has and who hasn't. I did not attack a victim. This is a lie.

By the way...who did I smear? I accept Mairia Cahill's story for what it is..an allegation, but I also accept that somebody has a right to defend themselves. That is also why when talking about Dublin/Monaghan I am careful to say 'the alleged collusion' of the British Army. Cuts both ways IMO.
