The wondrous adventures of Sinn Fein (part 3) Mod Notes and Threadbanned List in OP

"Hmmm…. What am I trying to ‘pin’ on SF"

This perhaps?

Thats what’s ahead of us if these lads get in.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't we, the Irish state, have the highest incident rate in the world at one point in time?

I will take it you apportioned blame for that wonderful statistic to those who "got in" here, namely FG, FF, and the Greens?

Are you sure you have given your line of posting much thought before putting pen to paper my honourable friend?

What in under God are you talking about? I did address the issues you highlighted, you may remember me posting about the intercounty work/schooling/healthcare and travel between the counties and jurisdictions, which may or may not (I don't have the data to state otherwise, and I would suspect you don't either) go some way to explaining rising incidence rate, but will without a shadow of a doubt have some knock on effect for the vaccination numbers, as the HSE won't be recording people with NHS jabs and vise versa.

Look it, you quite clearly tried to insinuate that the big bad shinners would be in some way responsible for bringing such things here, if they "ever got in" and when I point out our "worst in the world" previous record, and if you held our lot responsible, as you were clearly doing with SF, away you go with your tail between the legs not wanting to play anymore.

This "rabbit hole" line gets used a bit around here by yourself and others, one can only assume it roughly translates to "you have the better of me here lad, and I think I'll bow out now for a while"

You need to come back here with something better than that Brendan Bendar, your ill thought out ranting won't "butter no parsnips" here my friend, I won't let those things slide you see.

Ok Brendan, right so... Let's look at things so far....

First off, I was completely unaware that Monaghan and Donegal only had 1 political representative each, both of which are apparently from Sinn Fein, you'll forgive my ignorance on that one I have to admit I wasn't aware of that until now.

Obviously, had any of the other political party's in the state had of returned members of their party to those counties, they'd have been named on that article you linked to "speaking out" about low inoculation levels v high incidence rates.....

Unless of course there are other politically party representatives in those respective counties, and you're merely "gobbing off" (see above ^^) and have singled out politicians from the opposition, because that suits you, and your biased and skewed narrative?

(If only Donegal and Monaghan both had govt ministers to give their opinions on it)

This all started with me asking you why you were trying to pin something on Sinn Fein, which you seemed to take offence to, but everything I've seen from you, via our little exchange has now caused me to shift my initial thoughts from suspicion, to being confident enough to state it as factual.

In hindsight, it all looks a bit silly now, you trying to disown your nonsense at the beginning Brendan, you certainly haven't come out of this one looking too clever.

No it's not. Each time they cite their reasons. You are making up your slant and claiming it's 'clear'.

If I had the ability I would block all build to rent/lease were public money is used.

TBF as Sinn Fein got the most votes, the law of averages suggests they've the support of most demographics within the electorate I'd imagine.

You don't seem to wish to understand. Blocking homes being built for the sole purpose of being leased or rented to the tax payer for people, many of whom forced out of the market by such builds, forced onto the homeless and housing lists. We shouldn't be wasting money on making things worse.

On the vote of no confidence in Coveney, I must criticise Sf's reasoning. Coveney's behaviour was not beneath what we expect from a government minister, not that it should be hand-waved away by their brothers in Fianna Fail either.

And why are they building them and who for? With FF/FG/Green in the wings ready to lease for 25 years with no option to buy? Not their own money they'll be pissing away.

That's a very simplistic view.

Let's look at the facts we know:

Build to rent/lease are pushing private buyers out of the market. Rents increase and become unmanageable, (1 in 4 TD's still landlords?).

People need rent aid or housing at a discount provided by the state.

The state supplies custom to the private market.

The private market engages in build to rent and the problem gets worse and worse.

As I've said, I would block all build to rent if I could. They know they can charge what they like and have a lot of leeway as regards terms, and the government will pay. 25 year leases with no option to buy in some cases.

Every party should be blocking these builds.

FF/FG/Green continue to waste tax payer money on making us more dependent on private build to rent schemes.

The only question is why? We know it's making things worse.

The bottom will fall out again, mark my words.
