"O'Duffy's approval of illegal agitation against the collection of land annuities by the government, declaration of his support for a republic and the revelation of his connections with the British Union of Fascists and the Fedrelandslaget were the last straws for moderates in Fine Gael. On 5 and 7 September 1934 Cosgrave, Ned Cronin and James Dillon met O'Duffy resulting in an agreement that O'Duffy could "deliver only carefully prepared and concise speeches from manuscripts" and give interviews "only after consultation and in writing". In response O'Duffy resigned from the party on the 18th of September." He then went on to become associated with Sinn Fein and the IRA, who appeared to have no problem with his fascism. "At one point O'Duffy was offered a position as an IRA intelligence officer and on another occasion he was invited to join former IRA Chiefs of Staff Moss Twomey and Andy Cooney in a protest against the "Yankee invasion of the Six Counties" in the summer of 1941" It is quite ironic that you castigate Fine Gael for their association with O'Duffy, yet when they threw him out for being a fascist, you have no issue with his later association with Sinn Fein and the IRA.

blanch152 wrote: » You made various vague general criticisms of a fascist past for Fine Gael. It was explained comprehensively to you how Fine Gael got rid of its fascist elements within a few short months of them appearing. The contrast with Sinn Fein dalliance with totalitarianism was used as context. Perfectly apt to show the difference and to demonstrate that your criticism was both wrong and misguided and that a period of self-reflection on the party you do support would be appropriate.

They believe fully in the marketing principle that a lie repeated often enough eventually becomes the truth. I don't think they should be let away with stuff like this and well-done to Howlin for setting them straight.

"Just a line letting you know we are going ahead with the election campaign in Laois-Offaly against the Jew-Masonic System which is imposed on us. The people are coming to us – but it's hard to get the people to understand how they are held down by the Jews and Masons, who control their very lives."
There is one thing that Germany did, and that was to rout the Jews out of their country. Until we rout the Jews out of this country it does not matter a hair's breadth what orders you make. Where the bees are there is the honey, and where the Jews are there is the money.
A Fine Gael councillor has defended a late night tweet where he expressed his “love” for a picture of Blueshirts performing a Nazi-style salute. Jim O’Leary, the Fine Gael councillor for Dundrum, sent the tweet at 01.18am on Tuesday night. He was responding to a social media user who was commenting on Mr O’Leary’s fellow party councillor’s calls for Black Lives Matter protesters to lose their €350 Covid-19 payments. The social media user posted a picture of the Blueshirts, the organisation founded in the 1930s which later became Fine Gael, performing a Nazi-style salute. The social media user said: “These Fine Gael boys never steer from their past, you have to give them that!” In response, Mr O’Leary tweeted: “I love that picture of the men that saved free speech for us all from FF & IRA thugs. It’s one of my favourites. Thanks.”

Muahahaha wrote: » The Fine Gael Councillor Jim O’Leary responded to his tweet and he never said he was drunk when he posted about his love for the Nazi salute. I dont think it is fair for you to be insinuating that he was drunk when he is perfectly capable of expressing his love for the Nazi salute when sober.
