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

It is actually quite funny to see the squirming going on.

Sinn Fein were the biggest party in Dublin City Council after the Council elections and got the chance to run the Council with other parties, but can't be blamed for the complete failure to do anything about housing, even though they made it their own top priority according to their own press release.

Sinn Fein were the biggest party after the last election and the other parties were spoilsports for not stepping aside and letting them run the country.

At least it shows that the other parties learned something from Sinn Fein incompetence.

I'm happy to say they could do better, but suggesting SF are the problem is just trying to deny any accountability for the government, minister of housing and the sterling work they do 😁

Poor helpless Fine Gael and Fianna Fail. Who'll look after the cuckoo funds ad foreign investors? Ye both have a funny if deluded view of how housing worked and works. I didn't see 'if Sinn Fein say we can' at the end of their latest effort? Maybe call up the lads and tell them to give Mary Lou a bell 😁

I'm not Mary Lou McDonald. I've absolutely no responsibility 😁

The government is powerless and Sinn Fein run the country. Will you tell Micheál or will I? What about the new housing plan, do you think Mary Lou will sign off? 🙏

Complete bunk.

You don't have a clue about housing in Ireland and SF never controlled Dublin City Council. I see the Greens in the mix as one of the parties SF tell what to do. Tales of the Unexpected how are you 😜

You give your idea why they and other parties block the same failed plans put forward by FF/FG/Greens. If you can show where they tried to block purely based on NIMBYISM I'll criticise them with you.

Stop telling porkies. Can you quote anyone from any party saying 'they'll fix every thing'?

You've a very skewed party political view of reality. When every opposition party and numerous experts are warning us the government plans are bad, it's the shinners trying to make government look bad...okay, sure 😏

No, you are lying or not comprehending. The link claims they were working with other parties not controlling them and telling them what to do.

I could list a bunch of times Eoghan Murphy made a balls of housing, (like the prison cell/share a kitchen model), but you don't want others parties mentioned unless it's to do SF LARPing.

You'll be along with examples of SF blocking housing for **** and giggles?

Says they look forward to working with the other parties listed. In no section does it claim SF control the council. Can you help me by pointing it out? Can you also show examples of SF blocking housing just because they want to make the government look bad? I've only ever seen instances of were they explain why?

A section was pulled out of this article on the government thread but the link was not shared. I was wondering why not link and then I seen it

Another display from Sinn Fein trying to stop the building of social housing in Dublin, if they had the majority more houses would be blocked in the middle of a housing crisis.

A total of 27 voted in favour, while three Sinn Féin councillors present abstained.

What a strange reaction.

Its government ministers behave like that. You don't follow the news?

I didn't know the Greens did what Sinn Fein said.

You must think housing has been terrible the last number of years? Or is it just the parts of Dublin during a specific period?

Do we have to go through the difference between abstention and a níl vote or are you confident you'll get it on a second reading?

A 'blatent' (sic) copy and paste of what may I ask Jangle unchained ?

As Milli Vanilli once famously sang: Jangle you know it's true, oh oh oh

He claimed the opposition only try block housing schemes to make government look bad. It showed a complete lack of understanding of the situation. Nobody is going to damage their career by making matters worse for their constituents and expect to get elected. Sure look at Fine Gael's stats of late.

'Ah but we all know' doesn't cut the mustard.

I won't even bother asking you to outline what you're on about. You clearly think you've stumbled upon something but have gone all Scooby Doo on us. If you want to return serve on the facts as presented to you go ahead, but I suspect you've lost your footing and are crowing to the umpire about some something or other.

The proposition is this: FG carry the can on the housing disaster, the public are holding them accountable and they're deeply deeply shook about it.

Sinn Fein ate my hamster posting.

Stop 10 punters in the street and ask them who was running the show for the last decade and who's responsible for the housing dumpster fire. You'll hear Fine Gael 10 times out of 10, and you know what? All 10 are on the money, because that's the facts of the matter. The Irish people aren't thickos.

FG are welcome to roll the dice and try this on with the public, but they'd be digging even more electoral graves for themselves.

It's the Sinn Fein thread, so yes everything is Sinn Fein.

You pulled one section out of article to have a go at a FG TD, never mentioned what it was in reference to, what the article was about etc etc. Trying to cover up now what you attempted to do is just making you look worse. Just admit you didn't want to share because of the reference to SF.....a mate of mine would refer to it as "The Sun Journalism" :-)
