The recent opinion polls and election results tell you the Youth are listening to SF alot more than FF or FG.

Why do you always bring up Sinn Féin when anyone questions the Government or anything.

I've never seen the answer, but what about Sinn Féin, actually answer the questions been asked. It's deflection at its finest.

Keep it up, worked well pre election sure why wouldn't. It work all the time

Boss,I couldn't care less what FF and FG or SF, say they're all the same when they get in the world over
Best example is syryza, poll topping heroes untill they got in
Absolute zeroes when they couldn't deliver
They're all the same
I'll deliver that reality pill to anyone,green blue or red tinted glasses
Its the only thing I agree with on with that lunatic national party crowd that have the anti mask protests
Oh except that those lads are very good at saying their prayers too

There's great power in prayer
I was very impressed with Mary Lou on would you believe the other night that she goes to mass every sunday

Yep. Big difference between hoping pubs can open and Mary Lou's desparate populist demands that pubs be opened.

Was there not a great furore over the apparent misquote of MLMD?

She said (from memory) that the pubs already opened should be allowed to remain open, provided they are abiding by guidelines and regulations.

That's an entirely different scenario to a "desperate demand pubs be opened,".

Also just to note, MMLD was "captain no craic" around these parts for quite some time when she was first out of the blocks calling for pubs to close, and for the Paddy's Day parade to be cancelled etc.

He also said they should reopen despite not being able to guarantee. Giving false hope and being populist at the same time.

'Social Media Influencer' is that not a posh name for a bot?

Will they be telling people they are trying to influence them?

Its just out of the governments advertising campaign fund
Its not going to have them say vote FG the anti covid party
Not Mary Lou or Gerry anyway

1st one in, Sinn Féin and Mary Lou

How about getting all the advisors together between all the Govt to meet up. Surely between them all they can come up with a message easy to understand for young people.

Alot of hese influencers were all over Spain and Ibiza during the summer "working". Def good people to be advising young people to obey by the rules

I think the 190k pales in comparison to the pub which got £350k to help a golf club host a tournament.

And how much for 9 months work for a councillor?

Do the councillors in to north personally spend 9 months working on the applications for each of the 25k grants? You do also realize that 25k is considerably less than 190k right? Or are we are the stage of doublespeak where FG are pushing for 2+2=5?

Don't pretend you'd have said anything different if it was €30k.

Not unique to Fine Gael, Sinn Fein are at it up North.

It is actually common enough for golf clubs to get grants, especially when they are linked to the promotion of tourism. I don't have a problem with it, but maybe you might extend your criticism to Sinn Fein, but pigs might fly too. Here is a report on golf tourism in Northern Ireland:

Plenty of money handed over by Stormont to private golf clubs.

Agree. Who thought this was a good idea? A Golf Club of all things

Classic Fine Gael. Government money for Castle Golf resorts for tax defaulters. Homelessness for others :

"A FINE GAEL Councillor has been found in breach of the Local Government Act’s Code of Conduct after he requested that a HAP tenant be moved from a property he was trying to sell while acting as an estate agent.

Byrne, who was elected to the council last year, first contacted the council’s Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) section in June to enquire about a HAP tenant.

He told officials that he worked in property “and was trying to close a sale”, according to an email contained in an Ethics Report and seen by TheJournal.ie

In one email on 18 June, Byrne said the tenant would be “made homeless if this isn’t sorted out for him”.

Sure he's been busy ring fencing 190k for that private resort from the government coffers. 9 months he spent on it.

What are you talking about?

I just noticed that you were up in the middle of the night posting about Leo again and I am worried for you.

I asked a poster to clarify his comments with some detail.
As I said quite clearly, "Here am I asking a question about the comparison between alleged policies to tackle the insurance issue as cited by the poster I quoted. This is your addition?"
Is this the online bullying by anon accounts you were saying were SF orchestrated? Are you in SF?
