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?
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
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 ?
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.
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
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?
Still the same silly and wrong use of the term.
no it isn't, you do not speak for me or many others.
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.
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.
You are the one running away. I answered your question, you ignored it and asked another.
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.
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 ?
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
And do you think Sinn Fein are going to help you? Lol 🤣
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.
The story is retaining legs.
Far bigger issues than some plaque going up at a football ground.
There may well be far bigger issues in the world out there, but it is another blemish on the wondrous adventures of Sinn Fein.
Sinn Fein members attending a commemoration for an IRA volunteer is hardly a shock
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?
No different to soccer players wearing the Poppy. Each to their own as far as I'm concerned.
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?
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,"
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.
What lie?
Is it you think I am connecting the two IRA's?
I'm not doing that, you can believe any version of the connection or non connection you want, as far as I am concerned, it is not material to the point I made.
Both IRA's did the same thing and carried out the same acts.
FF FG eulogise one and criticise the other.
and you think sf will give you a mortgage ? good luck with that 😉
been covered many many times before francie , and debunked , as you well know
Psf really have no shame in stealing and lying about history.
So you support the Real IRA and the New IRA or do you distinguish between good IRA and bad IRA?
So you argue the IRA, after one peace treaty was totally different but the IRA after an earlier peace treaty was entirely the same.
You say any iteration of an IRA after an international agreement was reached is wrong but the IRA after the Anglo Irish Treaty is ok.
The Sinn Fein that was the political wing of the PIRA is NOT the same as the Sinn Fein that was founded in 1905.
Another supporter of the Real IRA unmasked. I assume they are one of the two IRAs you are talking about? Or is it the New IRA?
