I think it’s pathetic for Sinn Fein to use the Dail as a means of generating Tik Tol videos.
If she had said your response is pathetic Taoiseach that would be one thing. But to repeatedly call someone pathetic is the type of bully boy tactics we see online from SF that have poisoned political discourse in this country.
Not for the first time we see somebody who hates a perfectly acceptable descriptive word because it is applied to somebody they don't think it should be.
Answering a question about cookoo funds and the housing crisis with but the IRA and rape is Pathetic
If he answered the question asked, there would be no tic tok video to be made but he wouldn't cause it would show what FF are all about, all for developers before the people
back between the goal posts now jm08
gas how the fella who gets debunked never answers .....
They were abstentionist for most of that period and then there was the broadcasting ban, so they were not going to get much airtime. Martin Ferris took Dick Springs seat in the 2002 Gen Election. Its really not a relevant point as to how well they did back then prior to GFA.
If she was leader of the country I think the only flag she should use in her profile is the Irish flag.
It is interesting however that she supports a corrupt and violent regime with a shocking record on human rights.
You might think describing a person in the Dail as pathetic is perfectly acceptable but it says more about the person using the term than the person it is directed at.
I would think persistent deflecting rather than answering direct questions about what the government is doing in the here and now, is the worse abuse.
But that's just me.
There was only one scion of a developer in that clip. This country is hilarious. The privileged, privately educated elite, developer class cast themselves in the role of representatives of the working class and portray the actual working class leaders as representing the elite.
Its a topsy turbulent world.
you think people didnt know about sf?
broadcasting ban ended in 1996 , 6 years previous , sf got 5 seats up from 1 in that 2002 election hardly a ringing endorsement you claim it to be . smallest bar one , independents had 13 seats and greens had 6.
also using a shameless recidivist criminal terrorist like ferris as a example is weak
Was there a mandate for the civil war? Just answer the question.
RTE and numerous media outlets and others will play the clip.
What beggars belief is that you think SF should be different from all other political parties and not use it to their advantage. Are you saying FF and FG have never used exchanges in the Dáil videos?
your assertion that provisional sf had a mandate had been disproved swallow it and move on if you can
No. Sinn Fein deliberately use the Dail chamber, not to debate but to grandstand to use for social media purposes.
Also it is laughable for a Sinn Fein apologist to condemn others for deflection.
Once again, usual pattern? Whenst last we spoke?
You are building your defence on sand mo chara. There was no mandate for the rising or partition or the civil war.
Two terrorists. And DeValera ending up heading the army he once fought against.
What? Are you saying SF made Martin deflect in a once again pathetic way by asking questions about current issues?
This just gets funnier.
'How dare you question us!'
Its not. Neither had the 1916 rising.
who are you quoting in inverted commas or did you just make it up???
It's basically what you are saying.
MM goes off on one because he cannot answer a question...again and it's SF 'using' the chamber.
Gas craic.
MLMD nailed it so he had to get scummy to deflect.
the usual pattern of debate with blindly pro sfira posters here bruice ? easy to see if you want to read the thread as its regularly pointed out to ye.
Ive posted the link debunking your false claim already. you might come across it while reading the thread
A gcara 😁
You are using inverted commas on a quote you are attributing to me that you have just completely made up.
Now that’s pathetic!
That about sums your debating style there.
Also Mary Lou was the first to derail the Dail debate by mentioning Ansbacher etc, for which she already was sanctioned for by the Dail for getting her “facts” (my inverted commas) wrong!
You come across paranoid. I'm pro cutting through government fanboy nonsense is all.
You debunked nothing. The 1916 rising had no mandate neither did partition or all the killings that preceeded the state.
theres hat pattern again "mo chara" lol
when proven wrong just claim the other poster is a gov fanboy
you can go on claiming that 1905 IRA is the same as 1970 ira if you like but it didn't fly when francie did it and wont fly now either.
here is the most relevant mandate for change pre 1916 , please post the relevant mandate for psfira in the same way
December 1910 United Kingdom general election in Ireland - Wikipedia
You can believe whatever you want about a connection between the two...who actually cares.
The similarity is that both killed and injured without a mandate.
One is Good IRA the other is bad IRA. Tired old argument the country has tired off long ago. By all means keep it up though.
The 'facts' are that the Ansbacher comment came when Micheál was well into his deflationary rant. Sorry SS you are way off the mark again.
I think plenty of people know about Sinn Fein. I suppose that Sinn Fein the Workers Party would have taken that republican vote up to then.
Now, will you answer. Was there a mandate for the Civil War? If they didn't, why do you think SF should require a mandate in the civil war in NI?
its more about whats true and whats not actually
you'd rather the whole history of psfira wasn't discusses eh ?
ya i can see how that would benefit terrorists and criminals who now want more power ,
the old party lies busted once again eh francie 😉
Im not going to walk you through your nations history , you should have paid attention in school, or try google ,
i ve posted enough links for your misunderstandings to be shown up already
Wrong again Francie. You’re not having a good day at Apologist HQ. Mary Lou was the first one to bring up the past. Martin responded and she didn’t like it. Waving the truth away with her hands.
