    Where was it clear?

    I'll tell what is dangerously clear to me...the CC is far from impartial. This coincides with a now almost daily attack on SF from his party leader Michael Martin.

    Have you watched every single hour of Dail TV live to be able to say this with any confidence?

    Or is it just an impression?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,862 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    'dangerously clear to me' means it is my opinion which is thankfully not controlled by you.

    Yet, you cannot back it up with any evidence...... interesting.
    What do we call that?

    Unfounded or unproven allegations. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 69,945 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    i felt martins comments other day,to a niece of the woman murdered in gilbraltor showed what they really think of justice in the north



    Also gave an insight into mindset,that wanted to commerate the black and tans

    Obscene, straight out of the playbook here. Asked to live up to this governments commitments to the Stormont House Agreement he attacks a victim. Maybe Michelle O'Neill should write to the CC?

    And was this action appropriate

    Like you were in the garden when 'the heavy' came to see that young shinner? Yeh? :):)

    Martin protected the CC by not commenting on the letter for the abuser. CC returns the favour kicking up a huff about something that nobody has yet shown is against any law or even protocol.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,862 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    See my earlier answer to Brendi.

    I saw that, and you offered nothing in regards to any issues of impartiality.

    For someone to be accused of being impartial one usually has something to go on, but you offered nothing!

    No proof, not even an example, just more spurious allegations.

    That something wrong happened here is YOUR opinion. But you are struggling to show anything wrong was done.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,862 ✭✭✭✭markodaly


    I offered an opinion.
    .

    An unfounded opinion based on nothing by mere speculation, previously held bias, conjecture and feelings... but yes, it is an opinion. ;)

    Any luck on your opinion here mark? That something unconstitutional happened or unlawful? Or are we just dealing with the CC having a wee huff?

    There you are again, nothing can be said against a SF member unless it is proven as against the law.

    But, you can go around shouting that the CC is biased.

    What a joke.

    You can say what you want against a Shinner, you just need to be able to go beyond statements like 'sneaked in', 'crony' 'a woman is not fit for a post' 'that somebody is barred from emailing a CC' or why you decided to lie about 'abusive' emails with no backup.

    IMO the FF Ceann Comhairle is doing what his party leader is doing. Rather than answer questions he is making random attacks on the opposition...exactly the same thing Enda and Leo did. There is a pattern of behaviour here.

    Ah see, I don't make mad stuff up. I never said anything about anything being unlawful or unconstitutional or anything like that.

    This is par of the course.

    Anything that is alleged against the interests of SF, one must have an airtight case, ready to go to the High Court...
    Matlock eat your heart out.

    But when it comes to 'Da Gubermnet' or the Ceann Comhairle or their favourite Leo/FG, then making up allegations is 'just airing an opinion'...

    No one who engages like that are doing it honestly. We all know that.

    Correct..... even auld Donnacha demanded and got,an apology from Liveline.

    They are determined to keep the suit to the front, and the party as airtight as possible.

    Poor Stanno could t hold back and nearly lost the extra wedge.;)

    Yet you spent days on here insisting the Charleton report "exonerated Frances Fitzgerald for misleading the Dail"

    And repeatedly ignore calls to provide the text from the relevant paragraph that exonerated her.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,310 ✭✭✭✭blanch152

    It is a sign of extreme desperation if you lads are bringing Frances Fitzgerald into the Sinn Fein thread.

    We now have several excellent examples of the double standards being applied by Sinn Fein supporters.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭McMurphy


    The absolute, clear cut, no comeback example I can give that slices right through the absolute BS that the poster "doesn't make things up" happened to be something that specifically involved Frances Fitzgerald FFS.

    It was a complete and utter fabricated lie, and the best example of hoop talking.

    At least blanch had the good sense to accept the lie being peddled about her being exonerated needed to be dropped hence he gave up on it when unable to produce the relevant text "exonerating her".

    mark appears to have reached that conclusion now too.


    Progress has been made. :)

    Desperation indeed.

    And you never mentioned SF on non SF threads ever?

    As mark seems to have left, can you point out what was 'made up' about anything I have said?

    While you are at it, can you also answer the questions about 'sneaked in', 'broken rules', 'why a woman is not suitable/qualified for a post' where 'abuse' was mentioned in relation to the CC.

    That'll do for a start.

    Francie, I have already told you that I have finished the discussion on those issues.

    I got the discussions to the point I wanted, where the cronyism of SF was being defended but the open processes in the South were being criticised. No need for any more discussion, the hypocrisy was in plain view, why would I want to contribute further?

    On the CC, the reporting was plain and simple and obvious. Again, exposing the spinnning and twisting was enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,365 ✭✭✭✭McMurphy


    Must be great to be able to "get a discussion to where you want", and then be free to saunter off without having to clarify what the actual fcuk one is talking about.

    That's not even "discussion" that's soapboxing and then pissing off imo.

    Shouldn't be allowed to happen.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 504 ✭✭✭a very cool kid


    the FF Ceann Comhairle

    Does this mean FF have more seats than SF now and are in government democratically?

    Bit of a change of pace there !

    OR: you ran away from the discussion because you couldn't explain that anything wrong was done.

    You may think of yourself as some heroic lawyer in your own blockbuster but it is a charade. You built these things on lies and 'made up' representations of what happened.

    We don't have any indication that the official was 'abusive' nor doe we have any law or protocol that was broken.
    What we do have is a CC having a bit of a huff about something a party - his boss routinely has a go at, in order to deflect from his own and his party's shortcomings - did.

    And that is about the height of it.

    Operating on the failed FG strategy of the last election...throw plenty of dirt and walk away.

    SF won the same amount of seats in the election as FF. Can you disprove this statement, knock yourself out on that.

    Where did I say anywhere in this discussion that the CC gave FF more seats? Knock yourself out on that one as well.

    No.... Let me clarify.

    FF didn't win more seats than SF, because the Ceann Comhairles seat wasn't being contested.

    Was discussed on multiple threads on here at the time, and wasn't a discussion that was difficult to follow or understand, but not to everyone apparently.

    It's the equivalent of going home in a huff with the ball under your arm because it's your ball, and the opposing team scored a goal.

    Well, in fairness if it is your ball, you can do what you want with it.

    If the opposing team don’t have their own ball, tough luck.
    They may have scored a goal, they may even have won the game, but if they don’t have a ball...

    Going home with the ball is an idiom
    take (one's) ball and go home

    To be so petulant in dealing with adversity, loss, or rejection that one quits or leaves abruptly, often disrupting other participants in the process. The image is of a child who leaves with the ball, thus preventing others from continuing to play the game.
    I didn't lose, you guys are playing wrong! That's it, I'm taking my ball and going home!
    I've heard that this new artist is a little temperamental, so, everyone, please be on your best behavior so he doesn't take his ball and go home.

    One would expect others to understand that, and to not take it literally.

    I am not demanding it be shut down - Francie and yourself can keep exposing the hypocrisy of the argument even further.

    In this case, Francie was demanding that I answer specific spurious questions that he was asking, so the one "demanding" was not me. Off you go and tell us again how Sinn Fein cronyism is a good thing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,310 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    its not even that particularly difficult to forsee,where that conversation would go like


    Throw in some random made-up sh1t and cry foul,when truth deosnt fit the fantasy



    Chances are,that email to the ceann comhairle is available under FOI,the fact the indo didnt quote from it,should have told enough

    FOI?

    https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/government_in_ireland/national_government/standards_and_accountability/freedom_of_information.html#:~:text=Under%20the%20Act%2C%20the%20FOI,on%20foi.gov.ie.

    "Under the Act, the FOI body must acknowledge a request for records within 2 weeks and, in most cases, respond to it within 4 weeks. If a third party is involved, there may be another 3 weeks before you receive a response."

    Explain to me clearly how an email sent a few days ago is available under FOI today?

    Ignorance of basic governmental functions is rampant across social media.

    we got next day reply from FOI last year for assistance with a friends blog and the material within 5 working days

    I answered plenty in my time.

    I can tell you that this one would not be answered until the very last day unless the CC wanted it out there.

    It is not about bringing the ball back, it was never taken away, they can keep playing with themselves.

    The ball is there for them to play with. They have moved the ball on to a pitch full of their own sh!t. Rather than joining in, they don't like that I am sitting outside pointing out where they are.

    Irrelevant Francie.

    Liadh was a crony appointment by Sinn Fein without any competition, without any transparent process, without any democratic accountability.

    Those are the facts, my opinion is that appointment is wrong, your opinion is that there is nothing wrong.

    Leave it there for all to see.

    Liadh was appointed under the aegis of the legislation you were gloating about.

    :) Classic...and the realisation of that is the reason you scarpered from any accountability for the lies you told about it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 69,945 ✭✭✭✭FrancieBrady


    How is asking what rules were broken irrelevant to the discussion....it would seem most pertinent surely?

    Blanch's sole purpose in dying on this hill was to try and vindicate FG cronyism . He made a plaintive post appealing to us to agree.

    Didn't go very well.

    WHERE did it exonerate her for misleading her boss and consequently the Dáil, the reason she had to resign?
    Chapter and verse or you are lying and I will ask a mod to adjudicate on this as it is important. There is no excuse for repeatedly lying about this, if it is in the report, show where.
