Sinn Fein and how do they form a government dilemma

@FrancieBrady blaming the MSM media is a dirty old trick.

Hilarious as well.

You don't have an ounce or a shred of credibility.

6 minutes in.
PBH makes a statement, this is it word for word:
'What people might misunderstand listening to you there is that these audits are actually happening already, this data is being used, there is a process of engagement and consultation that is ongoing…' (MLMD tries to interject) and he flat out denies her a chance to respond.
We can all make up our own minds what was happening there tbh.

Did you also listen to the interview?
When asked by PBH was it not the same policy as the government to want to move from private suppliers to public supply, MLMD agreed it was, but that what the government say and what they do is not the same thing. They have had 5 years to do it and haven't. Look at the eyewatering figures being given to private entities released today.

Best to leave MLMD where she is to cause more mayhem for SF. I don't want to see her replaced since I'd fear it could be by Martin Ferris or some other beardy supporter of violence against the State.

There was always an undercurrent of cordite from the lot of them. They tried to cover it up and dress it up with this that and the other "Change". The biggest non issue is their continual push for a United Ireland. I'd say the majority of people in Ireland have that on the lowest rung of their wishlist ladder right now.

Wonder what the backroom people in Belfast are thinking.

This is the usual nonsense.
I quoted PBH word for word making a statement on behalf of the sitting government which he point blank refused to be challenged on.

This one 'where are the audits and how was the likes of Coolock chosen over elsewhere' should run and run.

The residents destabilise their communities themselves, it's nothing to do with being vulnerable claptrap or Government policy.

There was a local resident on PK yesterday who claimed the gardai had ladders and where climbing into the CP factory and setting fire to it themselves, people just needed to 'open their eyes ' to what was going on. I mean JFC how would anyone consult with these people?

The reality is that once opened the centre would have no affect on any of them, none, like every other centre doesn't. What the current protests and riots do reveal is the amount of feral scum that exist within our own communities due to generous SW and lax justice system. One only has to look at those charged with looting on the news last night, two of whom could only return to D1 to collect their dole on a Monday.

Oliver Callan had a very reasonable community worker involved with residents for years on this morning. He categorically denied that there was any local consultation/communication.
The Crown factory facility came as a total surprise to him.

Decent journalists would be trying to find out the truth, nobody in RTE Current Affairs seems bothered

So what? What consultation is required, it's just a thinly veiled buzzword for those who think they should have a veto over who moves into their area, no one gets to decide that in a free country.

You've long said your area is nigh on 50% migrants, do you think you should have been consulted beforehand?

The Irish times can contradict the guy on Callan yes

Clearly he wasn't aware of meetings in March and April

Since those did actually happen,he is not correct to say there was zero consultation

That being said,consulting anywhere at this stage will get a No but we still have obligations to accomadate these migrants untill they are processed

Mary Lou was stupid not to have figures this morning,pure stupid,she needed them to properly argue the case for hiring more inspectors

Wishy washy policy documents a transition year student could write and get low marks for,are a stupid idea period

Probably designed to waffle their way out of a dilemma posed by the tricolour usurping far right but do ya know it's going to do the opposote for SF,What on earth are they at,it has to be asked

There was a meeting though

Callans guest was wrong

Callan must have missed the piece in the IT in his paper review

The worrying thing is most of the actors in the protests are usually in SF's voter pool not the governments

Ergo I would argue SF would want to be doing a lot better than todays miserable effort to placate them towards SF being the answer

And it was miserable

You're obsessed with every criticism of SF's slipshod performance handling the flag usurpers hijacking of the vote being a request for it to go far right

Weak waffle today,with no specifics,who in SF's offices came up with that strategy?

Who is going to be the clever one here SF or the likes of II ?
