This is the problem 'new SF' brand for 'the south' will have a terrible job have to deal with. Each time state papers are revealed - this type of stuff will rear its head.
Whatever about 'The North' they will have some job trying to brush off statements from the state papers that reveal the inner mindset of SF when Republicanism travelled 'South'. But the question is does the new electorate care? Will the new electorate care? Or is the new electorate 'clued in' at all?
Would a SF minister of justice have access to files that would reveal who was informing on the IRA back in the 80s and 90s? That could get very messy. Lads who spent years behind bars looking for revenge on those that “ratted them out”.
There would be a big shredder purchase/deployment before then.

It does seem like Mary-Lou's call is working. This site has seen a significant reduction in the number of aggressive SF supporting posters. It only goes to show how much the centre is in control.
Those State papers don't make for good reading at all. They are only 20 years old, yet they are full of stuff about SF and everything. Wonder if there is any stuff about the Liam Adams and Mairia Cahill scandals in them.
or more possibly she was dropping hints to Sf councillors and TDs who do a lot of their own yahooing online. The last thing Sf want is to have its pride and joy found out to be online bullies.
they might even let them have the files ,
allow them to show their true colors again
Does anyone have the exact details of Eoin OBroins housing policy?
What is he proposing that will make a radical change?
There's going to be some blowback when these clowns realise they're not going to get everything for nothing and Mary Lou and Pearse can't deliver quarter of what they promised.
He mentioned in today's Sindo article that he has been in architect offices and building sites. Denim jean turn-ups, tweed jacket, flannel shirt, maybe completing the combo with a pair of original Docs.
He also has a few books to sling.
Eoin is studying hard, learning the lingo.
He has read about and knows all about RSJ's , having moved on from reading and knowing all about IED's. He has never handled either, mind you.
Not at all. Its all about image. A woman from Rathgar is about creating an image.
Are you staying MLM is not really the party leader, but rather an acceptable front face to gain middle class, female, (sub)urban support?
No. Im saying shes the party leader because she is seen as someone who will help them gain middle class and female support
O'Broin was asked this morning on RTE to clarify what SF meant by 'solving the housing crisis in 5 years' and what would he do if they failed.
He waffled about the former, something about nobody looking for emergency housing being a definition of a SF solution. As for consequences of failing, said he/ they'd cross that bridge when the time comes.
I just feel sorry for the mostly young voters who'll be deceived by these charlatans into thinking that SF will magically provide houses for all.
Eoin is out of his depth and he knows it too.

saying one thing and doing another when it comes to crime again.
almost like an organized crime gang with a political party attached
Still failing to actually condemn russia. He's a plonker.
When will SF kick him out?
I’d be surprised to see SF take any action. His family are old school SF and will have plenty of protection from on high
And they can hedge their bets in case they decide to go explicitly pro Putin again
It got a bit rich for SF by the time it reached the floor of the EU Parliament is my reading of it.
Richest political party in the EU. Amazing bucketry in the pubs.
He may well be a candidate in the next GE.

Fair play to Daly. Far too many politicians trying to dance around the issue for fear of alienating the type of voters that no decent politician should ever want a vote from to begin with

So Mary Lou is insulted as she had her eye wiped by Michelle when it came to invites. And throws her toys out of the pram.
Not too surprising but raised an eyebrow at the SDLP supporting this strope.
She's not the leader of British SF so don't see why see thinks she should be there.
Happy to partition the party when a few million was up for grabs and now complaining when people recognise her wishes.
This is the guy who ‘upped the RA’ after being elected?
He’d have a job convincing me!
theres no way Sinn Fein is richer than finna fail and finna gael with all the money they get off bankers and developers absolute rubbish that is
no criminalty proven
It's fairly revealing that she feels the need to be at these talks. The meeting was concerned with affairs of Northern Ireland and Michelle O'Neill is very clearly the capable leader of SF up north. So why this control freak behaviour from Mary Lou and presumably the party exec? Do they not trust their appointee in NI? Can they not trust delegating this task to O'Neill?
