Sinn Fein and how do they form a government dilemma

By saying it, it would have ended all the speculation as to what it was about. He could have also stated what the conclusion of the report was and how and why he disagreed with it. He said he just made vague accusations with little to no substance.

I heard the interview and it was Reveting. He had an answer for everything no matter how away off the mark it was. A .ot of his responses were soooooo unbelievable/offthe wall.
he was basically saying that there is every every type of a committee/process in place in SF to examine whatever issue comes up within the SF family and if he ‘heard’ that there was some issue being addressed he and other members would not even make discrete enquiries for ‘further details’ unless they are on the appropriate committee - ie there is no need to stick their noses in as the ‘ processes are set up forthat.

He a.so said that he/other SF members - seemingly is a policy- do not get involved in misinformation , back stabbing, innuendos, etc, etc, etc. as it is a waste of energy, time, etc, etc. they want to concentrate on policy issues all of the time

PULL THE OTHER ONE MATT!!!!!!!!!!!

This and the other issues recently have been a mess for Sinn Fein. Why were other people in the party other than Michelle O Neil and Mary Lou McDonald making statements ? You had several members giving their 0.02c worth and not helping because information was coming out which made them look stupid.

This Brian Stanley stuff looks like it will get nasty going on both his and SF’s statements since the news broke. Neither seems to be backing down, which is not what you want when a GE is imminent, as whatever about the opinion polls you want to be projecting a United party that can govern, and SF look nothing like that atm.

who is saying that now ?

Can you point out where in legislation this rule exists for Barristers in Ireland?

I am sure you put a lot of work into that but if he thought all that, evidentially and demonstratively he have been better off in the cults of FG FF or the Greens.

He’d have been defended, protected and if they were forced to sanction him he’d have been quickly back in the fold as a candidate, TD or director of elections.

If you want evidence of all the above happening in those parties, just ask.

I’ve never worked for a large employer nor have I been in a disciplinary meeting so asking the following as I don’t know…….

If a complaint is made against you, does HR then inform you about the procedure and if there is to be a disciplinary panel, are you told who will be on that panel?

Sorry FB, but this is surely totally disingenuous. You are suggesting that a person accused of something fairly serious (but not illegal) to spread a possibly defamatory statement about themselves?

I remember the situation the recently deceased Alex Salmond found himself in, obliged to defend himself in court where he was eventually found not guilty. Career destroyed, and name blackened despite being innocent.

Then you might remember the four rugby players in Belfast, dragged through the courts, innocent of all charges (unsavoury though their practices were) and thrown out of their jobs. Names blackened despite being innocent.

Are you seriously telling us that you would expect anyone to come out with a statement like the one below:

"Hi folks,
I've been accused of nailing a dead cat to SoAndSo's door and putting its entrails through their letterbox. There's no truth at all in those accusations, I'm a nice guy."

Wasn’t me that said it.
Boylan can answer for herself.

Stanley brought this into the public domain by his action and as Boylan said ‘told half a story’.
He will now be the subject of speculation and no doubt salacious gossip while running a campaign.

Lousie O'Reilly was about to burst into tears at one point on "The Tonight Show" when difficult questions about this issue was put to her. Tbh, I felt sorry for her that she dealt the short straw on this one.

"It's very clear.." she mentions, while everyone in the studio has no idea what to make of the latest scandal.

what we do know is you are all for the ‘they said’ side not the ‘he said’

Very trusting I must say

Hero to zero for you in 24 hours because they said

‘They said’ means papal infallibility

It’s been a long time since you’ve even tried to be taken seriously around here hasn’t it

Is there no sense at all of self awareness with you for that type of posting looking like it’s from the employ of SF ?

Of course if it is,no one would expect any reaction other than the usual again

Louise O’Reilly and Matt Carthy have both stated on live tv tonight that they do not know what the complaint is about.

So, how did Lynn Boylan know?
