Do you think shouting about the IRA all day every day is harming SF? The under 40s especially don't give a **** what happened in the 70s n 80s etc.. They care about the fact they cant get a mortgage costing 8 or 900 a month but are paying at times double that in rent.
Sinn Fein members attending a commemoration for an IRA volunteer is hardly a shock
Yes, the GAA statement reflects that. Sensitivity is required in commemorations everyone has a right to have.
"We respect the right of any unit of the association to remember its dead members but in so doing it is important to recognise the need for sensitivity in such matters,"
When you speak of the good IRA and bad IRA are you distinguishing between the Old IRA, the provisional IRA and the New/Real IRA?
No different to soccer players wearing the Poppy. Each to their own as far as I'm concerned.
Was Micheal Martins attendance at a IRA event in the weekend also a blemish on the Irish Govt or we back to good IRA bad IRA?
There may well be far bigger issues in the world out there, but it is another blemish on the wondrous adventures of Sinn Fein.
Far bigger issues than some plaque going up at a football ground.
The story is retaining legs.
The Sinn Fein generation are really the Me Fein generation, they think that they should be handed everything on a plate and that those who have worked hard for years for what they got should suffer.
And do you think Sinn Fein are going to help you? Lol 🤣
and the violence and criminality martin and sfira engaged in wasn't in the name of the overwhelming majority of our names.
a headstone claiming that he was a Irish soldier is a disgusting insult to any one who actually were
so who do you think gerry means when he says they havent gone away ?
i ll ask you again where and when did i cheer on any government as you insist ?
Incorrect. Its the right to commemorate. Didn’t you support a national commemoration of the RIC/Tans? At least this wasn't foisted on a nation.
You are the one running away. I answered your question, you ignored it and asked another.
exactly, couldn't agree more.
and it's not as if FFG don't have plenty of skeletons in their wardrobe, a hell of a lot more then SF ever could to be honest given what they have presided over throughout the last 100 years.
It's no more of an affront than the 'good IRA, bad IRA' nonsense that stymies politics in this country. You have a Taoiseach standing in the Dáil this very day, avoiding answering on the current, real housing crisis by throwing out allegations about IRA connections when he was at a ceremony himself celebrating/commemorating the IRA which did the exact same thing.
You couldn't make this stuff up.
no it isn't, you do not speak for me or many others.
Still the same silly and wrong use of the term.
No this is what you said
“It is a sign of progress if they have dropped using the Óglaigh na hÉireann.”
So what is it a sign of that they have not?
Irish general election: Sinn Féin celebrate historic result - BBC News
"People want different politics, new politics and better government - a new government - and I believe Sinn Féin will be the core of that," she told reporters in Dublin.
"I may well be the next taoiseach," she added.
MLM
so you've addressed nothing again
same playbook though
Wait a minute, you are claiming here that the IRA are still miltarily operational and two governments are doing nothing?
Or is it a case that random interneters are just insinuating that they are for political capital?
*If you believe the IRA are militarily operational in contravention of the GFA and the government aren't taking action and you seek to vindicate them, we can draw our own conclusions about why you would seek to vindicate them.
yes i have francie ,
youve just tried to swerve it again as per SOP .
where and when did i cheer any government ?
another move out of the party playbook , claim anyone who doesn't follow the party line must be a gov shill ,
why must we go around in circles ?
Our national debt have tripled since FG got into power over a decade ago, but but Sinn Feins money tree
Whos celebrating an election, the current polls tell us SF will lead the next Govt, most political correspondents agree with that opinion. If they are not, it won't be the worst thing as it will mean FF/FG/Greens will have made some progress on cost living, insurance costs, childcare costs, housing, health and so on. That does not look likely though
You haven't addressed the question.
If the 'IRA' are still operational militarily and the two governments know this, not doing anything about it is a possibly fatal breach of the GFA.
Still cheering on the government?
you must think you live in a perfect world , francie , not all criminals are prosecuted and a lot of terrorists got away with murder as yu well know ,
its sf who keep insisting that they haven't gone away , a thinly veiled threat perhaps?
Not going by that latest memorial.
so sf still currently support the use of the term then ? busted again
Not a normal party
I said 'if' it signals an end of the silly use of the term that would be progress.
I wonder if its that their fantasy's have never been tested with out the massive financial support of the London government
propaganda , manipulation of historical events to fool people
a seemingly unlimited financial war chest from shady sources
a fanatical member base made up of god knows who
making promises that they lack both the ability or intentions to follow up on ,
understandable voter apathy towards the other parties
gas to see shinners celebrating a election that they have yet to win
