There may be current support for Sinn Fein elsewhere, but that is predominately arising from swing voters who don't *really* know what they're doing when they hit the ballot box and tend to vote out of spite more than anything else.

“This country is in a bail-out programme, Spain is not,” said Mr Kenny. “So the money to pay the salaries of the Guards, the teachers, the nurses and all of the other people in the country here comes from Europe.”

Are you going to make a point or just mindlessly ramble at me? Sinn Fein support is currently predominantly constituted of: -The uneducated, ignorant and moronic* -The greedy, those who don't want to face the economic realities we are dealing with and will vote for ANYONE who may default and put off the short term austerity the country has to face, despite the long term damage it will do to the country. Those are the facts, my friend. Ramble all you like but those will remain true regardless.

This they failed miserably to do. That's not how it works, I'm afraid. I'm not even going to explain why because it's quite apparent that you haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about. Sinn Fein voter, I presume? Well done.

Another load of rambling, inane bullshít. Well done. I'm not going to spend any more time trying to decipher the incoherent diarrhea your mind is producing so don't bother providing me with any, although I can't say I'll be shocked if your "brain" convinces you that it's a good idea to try to have the last word on the matter.

Our GDP to debt ratio is about 100% where as Spain's is much better. Our budget deficit is higher than theirs. They're can handle extra debt if needs be, we can't. We need to stick to our targets if not beat them.
