Perfectly logical thing to do, compare two completely different scenarios, if only we had two funerals to compare.... Few hours hammering away at the keyboard into Google and that's the best you could come up with? Pfffft. *Rolleyes emoji*Charming.

Like seems to me,yous openly admit the virus deosnt differentiate between either funeral and are just making up random sh1te to bluster your way through......(hint the president didnt attend your "state" funeral,kinda sinks that talking point) if its ok for one funeral,its ok for the other imo (hint,its not ok for either).....fairly simple logic

Sorry but i wouldn't have hours unlike you and your mates to scourer the internet to justify the Knackers you defend, i just sat down for my lunch and that is the first story that pops up , but im sure you know that as your never off it.As always you side step the question in the post and get all shouty in your replies to try distract from not actually answering anything in the post . Common SF tactic. Oh then report the posts that you dont like.

One lad went around killing people, the other tried to protect the people of Ireland and got killed while doing it. Baffling this has to be explained to what I think are grown adults. Just because you support a political party doesn't mean you can't question some of their decision.

Quite how you have convinced yourself "state" funerals are exempt from restrictions is beyond me.....if this was the case and offial business wasnt covered by nephet....why is the dail renting the convention centre for votes of confidence??

You Still haven’t answered the question.

Solutionking wrote: » It's not the truth. You think my point doesn't stand up and to be honest I take that as a compliment. You and others on here might not have the capacity to question the actions of SF, hate to tell you everyone else can. The same way they can question FF/FG/all parties. Even SF said it was wrong yet you lot on here are arguing it was right. How stupid is that?

Solutionking wrote: » Im well aware of that,only a SF supporter would try to argue a funeral for a Garda killed on duty is on a par with some murdering individual up the North. A description of him was "A repeat murderer, with a penchant for cutting people's throats" In my opinion anyone that went to the funeral at all has something wrong with themselves mentally. But then again you have someone taking a selfie at the "funeral" so I am right

All parties were wrong, IMO, nobody should resign over it not even Calleary and Flan the tan man. This story is so done lads.
Solutionking wrote: » That's a new logic, let's explore this. So you think a Garda killed while working to protect the public should get the same funeral and respect in death as some murderer who liked to slit people throats?
Bowie wrote: » Both funeral arrangements flouted Covid recommendations and were a bad idea. Here endeth the lesson. You trying to make this about comparing the two men, which nobody has done, is pretty low.

We've lads telling us the latest government scandal is old news but lads still harping on about one funeral while ignoring another, hypocrisy is unaffected by Covid number 19 it seems.

blanch152 wrote: » That is so wrong, so wrong. You don't appear to have a clue about State funerals.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_funeralhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irish_state_funerals There have only been 45 State funerals since the State was founded. The Storey funeral was about as far away from the concept of a State funeral that you can go.
blanch152 wrote: » We also have lads who equate the fake funeral of a loathed criminal thug with the State funeral of a Garda killing in the line of duty for his country. Of course, Covid doesn't know the difference, but people should. In the same way, people know the difference between a hospital and a brothel and between a school and a good republican's smuggling operation.
Solutionking wrote: » No. One was a state funeral for a man who served the Irish people. I cannot see how you can't grasp the difference.
Bowie wrote: » Well the real sad issue here is the Storey funeral was rightly criticised because of the manner in which it took place during Covid, but in an effort to make more of it than it was, prolong it, while ignoring a similar funeral because it wasn't SF affiliated, (even though a shinner went) we now have desperate people using the length of the oration, I kid you not, and suggesting people are comparing Garda Horkan and Storey, which has had not happened. Both funerals were a bad idea because of the Covid advice and restrictions in place. That's all there is to be said really.
McMurphy wrote: » This is getting tiresome now blanch, you now have moved to hide behind some other irrelevant waffle that no-one else was mentioning. It doesn't matter that Garda Horkans funeral was a state funeral, there was still covid 19 restrictions in place that mourners could be witnessed ignoring. That is the point, no-one else has been using anyone's funeral to stoop to the level of yourself and a few of your fellow travellers have been by using it as a political football.
Solutionking wrote: » One was a state funeral. The other wasn't, in fact it wasn't a funeral at all. Anything after that is spin from SF and supporters.
blanch152 wrote: » One was an official State funeral, the other was a fake funeral, they are galaxies apart in status. I know some people try not to recognise the legitimacy of the State but it is ridiculous to say that they are the same. It is a sad attempt to defend Sinn Fein.
