    It's obvious.

    SF have realised that there is a massive health and economic worldwide and Irish crisis and obviously decided right now they do not want to govern.

    I am no fan of SF but I thought they were very sensible in looking for NI schools to be closed last week
    Only when they copped on to what the Republic were doing. Before that it was Yes Arlene, No Arlene, whatever it takes to keep our jobs

    I thought SF were totally cynical & political in wanting (demanding that NI schools) follow the ROI, instead of the rest of the UK....

    All the talk of this being an island (in this crisis) is totally irrelevant in the context of flights & ferries constantly travelling between the two islands, ergo bring NI into line with the ROI, yet leave the sea & air border open between Britain & Ireland :cool:

    NI is part of the UK, and as such it has stayed with the rest of the UK, re medical advice on closures.

    It's clear that FG are the only adults in government. The rest are morons. Look at Eamon Ryan's embarrassing rant about planting salad pots in your back windows.

    Eamon Ryan has lost the plot.

    It leads me to think that in wartime scenarios you need FG in there to keep the cool heads and do what is best for the nation.

    In the easy times, the electorate can flirt with the Greens or SF, but there will be a time when you need guys like FG in there to steady the ship.

    Do you think people don't cross the border every minute? Seriously?

    The cynical attacking SF on this issue was honestly unnecessarily political mud slinging in my view

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    They are looking after their families

    I heard ML droning on, and on, and on, and on, yesterday evening on some radio show, not sure what channel.

    It was Drivetime on RTÉ Radio 1. Thought she came across very poorly. Appeared to have little to say and fell back to the usual cliches. Not her finest hour - frankly would have expected a lot better from her.

    Would like to see them being more proactive in this crisis, they're elected to serve the people, surely that means something, whether they're in government or not!

    Doesn't look good to go AWOL in a real crisis.

    everyone has families.

    where are sf?




    Not the government (decision makers). Every politician, other than Varadkar or Harris, is very quiet and rightly so.

    Absolutely.

    Do people really expect the parties who are not in the power to be piping up now and maintaining visibility? Is that really going to help us, is it?

    Regardless of what your political persuasion is, the fact that this thread has even been started, accompanied with the juvenile one liners, really goes to show that some people still do not really grasp things.

    theyre staying quiet because they know well that no opinion now leaves them placed for their perfected line of attack later

    if it all blows over ok theyll throw it back in govts face as a load of fuss over nothing

    if its as bad as we all hope it not to be, theyll claim not enough was done, not soon enough

    twould almost be worth them being in government to remove this handy number from them

    I think they should be in showing support in a time of national crisis.

    Compare Stephen Donnelly to Louise O Reilly on Primetime the other night. Chalk and cheese.

    The only positive thing with this whole nightmare scenario we are now in is Mary Lou, Pierce Doherty, Matt Carty and the other media performers in Sinn Fein are barely in the media any more.

    They promised to spend an extra 25 billion by 2025.

    Is it any wonder they are hiding?

    Their elections promises are worthless already.

    Varadkar, Flanagan and Agent Orange travel to Templemore, 300 Garda not adhering to social distancing guidelines, and yet he’s on Rté news right now giving a speech. Why the hell this ceremony needed to go ahead in the first place. Yet the millionth SF thread :D

    Next story Tainste criticises teenagers for not adhering to social distancing guidelines

    I saw the photos from the ceremony. They were adhering to social distance guidelines.

    No doubt they'll crawl back out from under their rocks in a few months and tell us, with the benefit of hindsight, how they would have done things different.

    Then the Irish electorate can bear them shoulder-high, into the Dail, after the next election.
