Sinn Fein and how do they form a government dilemma

safe houses were all full.

Huh? The 1998 poll shows a 25% support a United Ireland so obviously there lots of other polls since then that show a higher % in support. Even for you, I didn't think that needed to be simplified.

Again, you can't grasp what I'm saying so ill try simplify it yet again. Unionist can be convinced, but it will take a long time and won't suddenly happen over night. These are the things that need to happen

1. Realise Northern Irelands future doesn't involved being under Britain's rule

2. Realising a seperate Northern Ireland State is not realistically or achievable.

3. (Not in a chronological order but will play a part in it) Unionist growing old and dying and younger generations having a different attitude to Unionism.

I'm not making up stuff about people who lived through the troubles. Harris, McEntee et all never lived through the majority of the troubles and weren't even live for Bloody Sunday. Harris is a prime example of a poorly educated child from the South with a faux liberal schtick. The people who lived through the worst of the troubles lived in the North. The places were SF are the most popular party. They don't need a load of southerns who had it easy telling them they are supprt murders by voting for SF all while those same southerns are happy to open their arms to Loyalists and the British Crown. You're obviously too young to realise that though.

Still waiting for an answer to my question: what do other parties do on receipt of a complaint?
Dont want to mention other parties? Ok, what should SF have done?

That's some superiority complex you have to go along with the giant chip on your shoulder

If ever Brian Cranston isn't available for a part....ready made replacement

I don't know what other parties do. But if I was in charge of a party and a complaint came in I'd aim to have a truly independent investigation (ie not party members, even if they are barristers).

If the underlying issue is a "personal falling" then ultimately do nothing - whether somebody is having an affair or not is a private issue.

If the underlying issue is worse than this (ie criminal), refer to the gardai as quickly as possible and be open about it (eg a complain has been made against deputy x, it has been referred to the gardai and we will not be commenting further).

If the issue is clearly one that you have no standing to refer to the gardai, then don't. It just makes it look like you're trying to have it so that your politicians can't speak openly about the issue to cover their own behinds.

As soon as Stanley left the party, there was no reason why the internal report findings to that point couldn't be released, in a redacted fashion if needed.

And I'd move quicker than they did. And I'd also be transparent about the timing of the complaint coming so long after the event but right around nominating time.

Back in the day it would be known as a donation for the cause.

eh?

What was your point? Why haven't the Houses of Oireachtas Commission investigated him?

SF decided to act like his HR department. They weren't.

That was my point. Your distractionary nonsense didn't even vaguely challenge that, but that's all we can expect from you and your ilk.

Organisations have rules. Members must abide by those rules. If a member is accused of breaking those rules an investigation is carried out to determine the outcome.The person who has been accused has certain legal entitlements and this investigation must be carried out in a certain way.

How is this so difficult for you to grasp?

Like I really can't dumb it down any more for you.

Why would I ask someone else? Most people understand this very basic concept. Organisations have rules, if memebrs breaks thoae rules they open themselves to disciplinary process. It's the excact same for members of rugby clubs, golf clubs, trade unions, professional bodies etc.

SF don't need to be BS HR. The same as FG don't need to be Punam Rane HR.

Simon Harris said a disciplinary process into the matter should be “swift and robust” as he described the statement by his party colleague as “absolutely offensive”.

Like FG have done, they can carry out a disciplinary process and don't need to tell anyone else about it, what it involves or who's on the panel. They can run their own "kangaroo" court.

I don't have any interest in FG. I don't vote for them, I won't vote for them as long as they support von der Leyen

Why is your only deflection based on thinking that only FG voters oppose SF party lines?

The vast, vast majority of people in Ireland are opposed to SF and its internal structures.

88% of people voted for other entities in June. I suspect it'll be over 90% in late November. SF represent niche interests; niche interests repulsive to the majority.

An internal report on the inquiry into Maria Bailey was kept private by FG. Leo Varadkar saying:

“I intend to respond to it next week. In terms of publishing the report you know it’s not normal for a political party, or a media organisation or an employer to publish an internal report.

That's the relevance/precedent. Different standards demanded of other parties. *bolding mine

*I could say you sent me 3 texts this morning looking for money. You can say you didn't. The third party investigating would have to have proof that the texts came from my phone which is not a competence of a political party, hence why when Stanley walked it was given to the Gardai to assess.
