Sinn Fein and how do they form a government dilemma

Funny that you’d label them freaks when you are turning your vote over to a vehicle that looks more like a cult than a party.

Ah the “I know you are but what am I” style of debate.

If you paid even a smidge of attention to their recent scandals and still are coming out with the patter that they’re the same as everyone else, then you’re either a lifer yourself, a certain personality type or a low information type.

I’d say it’s the second with you. You’d strike me as the type to have got on board with a Trump or Brexit if left to your own devices in the U.S. or U.K. respectively.

I'm not sure hating people for voting against the way you think they should vote is mature.

FYI: FF/FG have been an absolute disaster on housing. Emigration of the Irish people is back to levels not seen since the 1980s as they hand over control of the country to immigrants under instruction from Brussels. Education is a mess. Health similar. Public transport still basically so bad it makes Ireland look third world. Taxes (direct and indirect) are the highest of any EU nation. Energy/Petrol prices are the highest in the EU. Food prices also. The bank bailout (invented by FF), the USC, is still in existence. PRSI increased under FF/FG. Homelessness at a record high.

And sure look at the state of FF/FG. Harris is so talented he dropped out of college twice. Martin has never had a proper job in his life. . . . Neither has Harris for that matter. Totally incapable of leadership.

Wow indeed. A product, which had been in use by DAFM was recalled as a precautionary measure as it did not fully comply with regs.

Result was a cost refund and zero reported adverse incidents in schools. I would view that as the Dept doing its job. But sure if you think there is a scandal here, fire away.

I think you are

Nope- there is an alphabet soup of parties for you to vote for.

I am slating you because you are making claims on “change” and “freaks”. Yet you are talking about voting for SF (the same party that big business described as more New Labour than Corbyn Labour). The same party where with (just one of their scandals) when the Senator finally resigned over texting an underage individual, they were given a glowing send off by the leader.

My guess is Peter that if it were FF or FG had just one of those scandals that it would reinforce the “freak” nature of your description of them. My hunch is that you are the type served up a diet of algorithm mentions of twix bars and Tuam babies.

Lots of buzzwords there “mess”, “third world”. You are on of the “Ireland is a kip” brigade that is ignorant or the world around you.

The fact that you mention “emigration” is like the 1980s suggest a bit it a hard right bent to what you are served up. Dangerously

You have options to vote for change. You could vote for PbP who very much espouse a platform of change all round.

You actively choose not to though. “Change” in your mind is going against the grain a little bit. The thing is you are the type of pub bore who will be droning on about “freaks” and “change” in a few years about someone new if SF got in. You’re that type of person, shallow with an over estimation or yourself.

In terms of housing specifically, did you miss how Ireland built the most per head in Europe last year and have been top 5 for most of the period that this government has been in office?

Of course you did, or possibly you waived it off.

The scandal is that Foley knew there was an issue on the Tuesday but did nothing about it hoping that no one would find out. She waited for 2 whole days before recalling the product.

She potentially put the health of school children at risk in order to avoid making herself look incompetent.

Her decisions are based on how she'll be viewed by the public not on what's best for our children. Hence the pouches. The Norma Phoney PR campaign re. our youth and phones is in full swing. She (via the media) has the public convinced that students are frantically tik-tokking throughout the school day which is absolute nonsense.

Meanwhile Norma ignores the important issues such as

inflated LC grades (still not sorted after 4 years),

teacher recruitment,

school transport,

schools in dangerous states of disrepair,

lack of SNAs

special ed places etc etc

SF has a debt to pay to its islamist backers and will be too busy with that issue to form a government.

NO votes for islamist parties. NO votes for plantation parties.

Heard on Newstalk yesterday that they're running a second SF candidate in Kildare North. Bizarre.

A way of ousting Cronin without the need for a kangaroo. SF cleaning house.

she shouldn't have gone.

SF are not supposed to be having anything to do with british customs, we do not do rememberence sunday ETC.

she would have stayed away if she was so concerned about being a first minister for all, something she can never really be.
