The problem up north now is that the necessary has become partisan and that goes back to the Storey funeral when trust was breached by SF.

Bishop of hope wrote: » I suppose we like blaming politicians and their breaches on both sides make it worse and doesn't help for sure as they make the rules and you'd expect them to be to the forefront of examples of keeping them. So no argument with your post.
McMurphy wrote: » The rise in numbers in the north can be traced back to Storeys funeral in June? What a load of pish, absolute pish. The numbers are in the rise here too, and I don't think anyone is about to start fingering the blame for that at Garda Horkans funeral, Golfgate, or lads drinking the face of themselves in Dublin city centre.
given the extent of traffic between RoI and UK it is almost inevitable that the [virus] variant is present in RoI where it is unlikely to be easily detected given that little viral sequencing is performed".

The difference in leadership at the time has led months later to a different outcome in terms of cases, reflecting much better on Calleary and exposing once again the failures of Sinn Fein leadership.

O'Snodaigh pilfered printer ink(?) maybe ten years ago (?), that's closer to theft but was he charged? Is this 'the heavies' calling around again, while ignoring a FG'er actually threatening a pensioner over a social media post?
