Where did the money come from to buy these properties considering there’s a ban on overseas political donations in the Republic? They also have 200 employees, which would cost millions every year in wages, employer PRSI etc. More employees than the Tory party in the UK, of the CDU in Germany. Who are these people, and what do they do all day? Are they the famous 'community activists' we used to hear a lot about?

A young lad out buying a Mother’s Day card. The sort of atrocity mandated by sociopaths like Bobby Storey. And it’s widely suspected a SF TD was involved in preparing that bomb. Not a normal party.

The rate of new coronavirus infections in Northern Ireland is now “significantly higher” than in the Republic of Ireland or the UK as a whole, the North’s chief scientific officer has warned.

SF is in government there, so what is up with them? Out of their depth it seems, and people want to put them in government here in the south?
Prof Young told The Irish Times he did not have a “simple explanation” for the increased infection rate in the North, which had performed “much better” than the rest of the UK earlier in the pandemic.
However, while the North’s figures were currently higher than those in the Republic, he said the numbers fluctuated and the outbreaks remained “broadly similar” on both sides of the Border.

We also have had a number of Border clusters with unknown origins, presumably the North.
McMurphy wrote: » Isn't that article discussing infection rates how do we count who has been infected, and who's not been infected any differently You're maybe thinking about death rates, but that article is about infections, hint - It's in the headlines and it's what the article is about afterall, keep up. "Presumably" why? Is there some data supporting this presumption, or is it because you might just be talking nonsense?

The First Minister added: “There are investigations ongoing both at a police level and an Assembly level as well and we’ll have to see the outcome of all of that. “But I think it would help if there was an acknowledgement that there has been damage done to confidence and to messaging in and around Covid-19.” Once again, as they did with their grandstanding over an Irish languages act for three years, Sinn Fein are going to do serious damage to the Northern Assembly with their antics. Is it any wonder that not a single party in the South ever entered serious talks on a coalition government with them?
