Presidential Election.

I don’t have the problem Francie- it’s clear you’re calling to lift sanctions on Russia and I’ve proved it time and time again - communication is in the interpretation - it’s your “problem” not mine

This is like @blanch152 's slurs.

You have zero back up for where I said such a thing.

If you misunderstood, I clarified and still you insist.

Just another dis-ingenuous poster with a very clear defamatory agenda.

A lot of Nonsense in this thread

@FrancieBrady did not make it clear he doesn’t want sanctions

He simply said what’s the point if they’re not working

They aren’t working

If the EU sanctioned us like it does Russia,we’d be on our knees

But Russia isn’t because it doesn’t depend on the countries that are sanctioning it

Anyone saying otherwise needs to do a little homework on Economics

Because I ain’t seeing any evidence here that anyone has a clue

The clue is China

That said,I’ll repeat CC pseudo supporting a war by being all vague and evasive on the invading party instead of being unequivocally down them is political suicide

But Irish unity is a foregone conclusion,what’s the issue in stating what’s very likely to happen given the way NI demographics are moving

She didn’t say Unionists would have no say

The only vetoe they have over a UI is a democratic one

Once they don’t have the numbers anymore,the union is kaput

And isn’t it obvious that’s the direction of travel

If you know different and she has said 'No sanctions' it's time to put up the back up or withdraw what is a slur.

Last chance to address this ^^^ or I will just assume it is another part of your character assassination from day one and falsehoods about the candidate.

Let’s remind ourselves whom Catherine Connolly considers would be a good Taoiseach:

“In 2016, Ms Connolly was elected as an Independent TD for Galway West for the first time, and went on to nominate Richard Boyd Barrett as taoiseach.“

She supports the triple lock- in other words for Ireland to be beholding to a dysfunctional UN:

“Last April, she joined members of People Before Profit and the Social Democrats under the umbrella of the Irish Neutrality League, calling for the preservation of the triple lock.“

She thinks because Hamas were “elected” almost 20 years ago, that that justifies retaining their existence in a new Palestine :

“"[Hamas] were elected by the people the last time there was an election, overwhelming support for them back in 2006 or 2007. And they are part of the civil society of Palestine".”

And then the word salad of sound bytes that are completely meaningless:

“She wants to be a voice for equality and justice and for the defence of neutrality as an active, living tradition of peace-making, bridge-building, and compassionate diplomacy," her campaign said.”

So there ya have it - Vote CC if you want to be totally unsure what you’re going to get - just don’t ask her what she’s bringing because she doesn’t have a clue

Not at all convoluted. She is openly breaking laws she is meant to uphold. How can someone who does that be allowed to be our president.

Last time I looked, “FF/FG” represent a considerable number of people in Ireland who voted for them- in fact a majority - so take your issue up with the majority of Irish people

“You're about 20 years off by the way”

You mean you’re 90???? Fair play ta ya 🤪
