And they certainly will.
Best of luck on your travels, by the way you started waffling about Sinn Fein on this thread, not me. When it back fired this is the waffle we have had since
I suggested working services, lower hospital waiting lists and school buses where needed over arbitrary budget give aways.
You cited 'tough decisions'. You've failed to support that.
I don't care how others fair, I have my own opinions. Being fixated on sinn fein won't make FG better.
Again, all you are doing here is avoiding issues raised to shite on about Sinn Fein.
No interest in personal point scoring. I bid you good day.
Why "lol"? 🤔
Anyway, carry on the good work a chara, you are doing a fantastic job
Lol, no, it hasn't happened yet but they are members of the European party thet Ursuala is leader of. Clearly they've no issue with her. No doubt the reason will be hilarious.
One of the many things you must admire about Bertie. 😂
I know, but it needs to be much steeper. In any case the putting undocumented in prison, then allowing them enter the asylum process seems wasteful.
You need to go back and check sources, that hasn't happened yet.
Also, you need to see both sides of the conflict, if they vote for her Im sure they will provide the reason
Meanwhile Sinn Fein will do sweet f**k all, maybe another image change on twitter. "Wafflers" as Bertie would have called them 😂
They already do this.
And I'm sure the Palestinian people will be delighted when FG vote Ursula Von Der Leyen back in as EU President.
Plenty of noise makers around politics, not many who ever will or ever want to change anything
As I posted the cross border project by the government have done more in a few years towards a United Ireland and building relationship than anything else.
The so called "All Ireland party" is too busy bickering and show boating with every party North and South
Almost as meaningful a political act as Boyd-Barrett wearing a keffiyah in the Dail!
Ahh don't worry, keep up the excuses, it's such a huge success so far.
Im sure the people of Palestine are so happy with mary Lou changing her image on Twitter
Yes, it amazing how the party in government have done more on foreign policy than the party in opposition. Lol, I wonder how that could be possible..
In terms of Palestine, Simon done more with one act than Sinn Fein and have Mary Lou have managed in years, all the waffle, flag waving and flags on twitter they have done nothing for anyone in Palestine
Another example of how terrible a party Sinn Fein are, the government has done more for a United Ireland with the cross border projects in the last 4 years than Sinn Fein have achived since it was formed as a Provisional Sinn Fein in the 70's
The number of decisions made by the current government for the greater good have been since the first day it was formed during covid, the housing decisions etc
Decisions are made daily, down to what some people might claim are small like FiT for solar PV but it had a big affect.
Seems like you don't understand what these are, just read a load of rubbish on the web and then regurgitate it.
In terms of the noise you found on twitter about immigration etc. Bang away for another few months on that, it's been a great success so far from SF supporters at driving people away from the party, the more you do it the better,
Im sure the government will be sending the Sinn Fein online supporters a nice big box of chocolates and flowers to thank them
I've never boarded a plane without a passport. I'm speaking on people landing in Dublin claiming to have no ID. The airline just has to show they verified each passenger before boarding. The threat of sanctions will simply ensure they keep available records.
Okay, what's your views on the paying of welfare to working immigrants and FG using foreign companies to oversee their social media after crying out about others doing same? How about FG using English election think tanks? These were the issues raised.
As regards 'tough decisions', can you name some tough decisions FF/FG/Green made for the greater good? By greater good, I mean the general public.
As regards Asylum seekers, with no papers, landing at an airport, I would cripple the airline responsible. I would do US style checks abroad. I would have a one strike and your out policy.
There is not much more the airline can do, but regardless any kind of clamp down on the airlines is only going to make travel worse for the average passenger.
only one blown smoke around here is you a chara 😂😂😂
we can only hope,
The two traditional big hitters for a government buying votes are taxes and public sector pay.
Neither have kept pace with inflation during this term of government (in some countries tax bands auto index each year which they definitely should). So the tax burden has increased and real public sector pay has decreased during a period where they’ve had record surpluses. At a personal level I wish they used the surpluses to buy votes with lower taxes, but they are probably right not to have done so to overheat the economy.
The only significant ‘giveaways’ have been energy credits, mortgage interest relief & some double welfare payments all of which I believe were stupid, but at least not permanent ongoing commitments. Otherwise, very conservative budgets so far. Media nonsense may have painted them otherwise to some.
How will SF get drop kicked from the Republic and NI? Thats wishful thinking on your behalf.
Largest party in NI and a sizeable party in the republic.
Who will replace them in this dilusional vision of the future?
So you were just blowing smoke in the hopes you wouldn't be called on for examples. Figured as much.
Making the 'tough decisions', what a laugh.
You know you're losing when you start to try play the man.
You completely dodged the paying of welfare to working immigrants. FG using foreign companies to oversee their social media. Like Fine Gael you are avoiding the issues at hand to go on and on about Sinn Fein. Wrong thread. Not interested.
She was probably referencing Ukrainians getting preferential treatment over others, how ever true that may be. I always liked their stand against DP.
You must have noticed Fine Gael and Fianna Fail members sounding more like their 'far right' over the last few weeks. Only in the last fortnight Harris has starting talking about more "effective deportations". workplace inspections for illegals etc.. To be fair many such things should have been in place years ago, but like everything else, they can't organise basic things. I mean who the hell invites asylum seekers over from Ukraine and then doesn't even have tents to give them?
🤣🤣
The faux outrage doesn’t wash a chara
🤣
You talk about facts
how many accounts have you burned on boards in last 5 years? Talking about facts
At some stage SF supporters might let the penny drop and realise the tactics deployed for years now is not helping the party and actually hurting it
Carry on by the way, the sooner SF get dropped kicked out of the Republic and Northern Ireland the better
Agreed. She is critical of immigration policy
From the right (in recent weeks), saying the government has been too slow to restrict benefits for Ukranians and the likes
not screaming 'Ireland is full'.
neither is anyone in the government AFAIK. the bar she is clearing here is being more progressive on immigration than Justin Barrett and Derek Blighe…
Leaving families in direct provision for years was wrong. I agree with the shinners on that.
I think, if we are short labour, as FF/FG were telling us, we should allow in as many as we need and no more. I certainly don't condone leaving humans fend for themselves on the canal side, only to be bussed off if theres an influx of tourists expected.
The facts you don't like? Okay.
My only concern for SF doing poorly is more Fine Gael and Fianna Fail.
I see Fine Gael supporters dodging real life issues.
