Sinn Fein and how do they form a government dilemma

Another false claim.
The British and Irish governments in tandem with the political parties designed the Executive.
All parties recognise that like the statelet there are failures and want reforms….except the DUP and as yet Dublin and London have not moved on acceding to that desire.

Your comments are delusional. SF will go into power in any way FF offer, the offer just isnt going to come

A bit like FF and FG then who incidentally are a culpable for the failings in the GFA. If you think there is a problem contact your TD because only the governments can initiate the reforms they all want…. bar the DUP

What a load of bile and waffle. Stop worrying about SF and focus on your government destroying the country instead . The opposition live in your head rent free

Did I say you voted SF? Who did you vote for, if you don’t mind saying?

What is so hollow and cynical in what I said before? This country is not failing young people by the way, young people have never had so many opportunities.

Read this article in FT yesterday 

Surprised FF & FG did not have this information. It would have knocked SF blubber out of the park.

Less than 5,000 houses being built in NI this year, chronic infrastructure issues, social houses lying idle due to lack of water connections, housing becoming unaffordable for people, 47,000 are on the housing waiting list and 55,000 are registered as homeless (they have a different method of calculation)

Whilst much funding comes from the UK. The refusal of sf to look at local taxes such as increasing domestic rates (includes waste) or bringing more housing into the rates net or introducing water charges is the primary cause of the funding issue.

sf have been a shambles as the main party in NI if that article is anything to go by.

Their record on house building is utterly appalling - its going DOWN dramatically when demand and price is soaring. At lest FF & FG can show consistent increases in housing output.

If you took a pro-rata view, housing completions in the Republic of Ireland would be about 13,000 if we replicated the sf policy in Northern Ireland.

That is a shameful indictment of sf housing policy in Norther Ireland

I voted soc dems, Labour, Greens and pbp.

What opportunities do you speak of? Housing and rent being record prices? And homelessness? Or our awful health system ? Or dreadful transport system? Or barely existent mental health system? Or disastrous disability care ?

Why are young people still leaving the country in droves for the likes of Australia Canada etc ?

Are you a young person?

I'm sorry but that's mostly older gen, rural and upper classes who are happy with their lot. Ask people who are looking for a house or place to live, or struggling with childcare or medically or mental health. People with autistic kids or people in dubkin trying to commute. If you're privileged then most people in any country are happy with their lot.

How is a country with just 5 million people having a housing crisis ? How are immigrants in tents everywhere? And record homelessness? The Netherlands has 15m people in a smaller country and manages its resources and ability to house its people and immigrants much better.

Are you happy with billions wasted on a children's hospital that's construction is never ending? Or a million on a security hut?

Do you think its acceptable our health system doesn't have enough beds nor medical staff? Patients on trollies growing every year. Waiting lists for cancer and other ailments through the door. People waiting months if not years.

We don't have enough doctors, nurses, gardai, teachers among others. Many of whom emigrating.

Cop on to yourself. You're either living head in the clouds or have zero standards

And the electorate decide as they did here who is best to fix the problems.

Instead of looking at a mandatory coalition that was necessary because the statelet had failed and they clearly don't understand how it works, FF FG need to now get on and solve the crisis here that they insisted they could.

Apples and oranges. Different levels of power, responsibilities and budget. Ireland has a massive massive budget surplus and the government here has wasted billions. The North is on a shoestring budget, with two ideologically opposite parties power sharing with limited governance and powers

and has left many many people behind. Represented by those who didn't vote for the powershare.
