a very cool kid wrote: » Worst political interview from a major party leader ever - Cowen did better drunk from the night before: Tried to invoke Tom Barry and was quickly informed Tom Barry thought the Provos were cowardly scum bombing towns Actually defended anti-vaxxers as "asking questions" Actually tried to turn Brian Stanley into a victim, would she give anyone in government a week off because they're "low key people". If they're serious about having the big jobs they doesn't wash. Said the murder of those specific soldiers was fine - even though they were literally blown to bits (notwithstanding the 1920 lads would have faced up to them) - so proof is ever we needed it that two wrongs do make a right in SF land. Literally tried to deflect at every turn. Wanted to bash Boris for looking out for the UK. (I hate Brexit but the UK are going to do their damnedest to get what they want, we have to stay calm and resolute, they'll buckle eventually). Lastly started blaming RTE for this being a story, Trumpian or what? Especially coming after Brian Stanley's wife's tweet about cutting their funding). Absolutely disastrous. If Leo or Michael were leader of Sinn Féin you would never see them so unprepared in a live interview. The echo chamber of SF and the decent result they got has made the senior team there lazy and it shows.

FrancieBrady wrote: » Just something that should be pointed out here. I disagree with your take on the interview...I wouldn't expect those who dislike SF to see as anything other than difficult to accept what she said but besides that, Stanley appeared before PAC very quickly to answer for what he did, at the very next meeting in fact. The rewuest to address the Dáil came later. Contrast that to trying to get Leoi to come in and answer and Helen McEntee. Not a leg to stand on here on that.

She was all over the airwaves demanding he go into the Dail the very next day. She is the biggest hypocrite of the lot.

I wonder what the big worry is - Children's Hospital, Brexit dealings, Broadband, Fees of Government 'Special Advisors'? With the Government hiring the former British Sun Editor as its Press officer, are they going to go all Sean Spicer?

I hate FG everyone else gets a pass of some sort, used to vote for Pringle but his wokeness overload was too much, Mc Daid and the Cope would've gotten the odd vote in the day, last election I voted for Doherty but wouldn't give McLoughlin a vote in a fit, still remember McHugh preaching about armed struggle and Brits out on my street in the 90's , how could you vote for some one so two faced ,

IAMAMORON wrote: » No sir, you just posted a link to an Irish Times article that stated that an IRA member ( albeit a sticky ) was involved in coercing a member of the Labour party to leave the party over something or other. To cap it off ( no pun intended )you tried to insinuate that Fine Gael were somehow involved? Pure shight talk. At least if you are going to discuss things with people bring something credible to the discussion, not made up garbage?
