She's just a loud old windbag, better suited to selling bangers from under her shawl in Moore Street..

Can you imagine her as our Taoiseach

God save us if it ever happened.

I must say Leo and Co are playing a blinder, they are doing a very professional job with our reaction to the virus and they are ahead of the curve. God willing our Covid numbers will plateau and decline sooner rather than later.

He's a joke. Hopefully we the Irish people pull together and save as many people as we can. And after that hopefully we can come to the polls again and bury Mr.5 Count caretaker taoiseach again.

She was out today talking ****e about using the Apple money without even though the money isn't ours and will be spread throughout EU countries if the case goes against Apple and ire land. Not to mention the fact that the US will put a huge drive on to bring businesses back on shore after coronavirus has died down. Piss off one of the only employers guaranteed to get up and running again afterwards.

She's a populist dunce.

The EU will decide the Apple case not Ireland. We will be owed a healthy amount of it if the EU decides to take the money. If they do decide to take it then Apple will have to accept that.
Corporations have to fulfill their tax obligations like everybody else, they cannot hold countries to ransom.

Yes so it’s not ours to spend , she knows that but also knows the Rubber head sheep that follow her will fall for anything she says and fully believe that is all our money to spend on free gaffs

Not what I was disputing.

BTW, the money is in 'our' account until such time as Apple win their 'appeal'.

Gas to see guys giving out about 'diesel laundering' when Apple are getting away with a much more audacious scam with the assistance of Leo and Co.

Where will SF get the money? What will SF do? Who would you prefer in charge now?

Forgetting that there is more than one party that ensured they didn't get the majority votes. It's funny, but also very sad.

It's not our account, it's an escrow, so not like there's a 17bn bond just sitting on Leo's desk. SF are watching too many father Ted reruns during their self isolation.

Escrow is a third party holder of monies.

The money was awarded to us..therefore it is technically ours until such time as Apple win the appeal.

I agree it cannot be removed from Escrow until the court proceedings finish.

I know what an escrow is and how it works, that's why I brought it up. Therefore the money isn't resting in our account as Mary Lou seems to think and it could be years before the case concludes. So she's talking through her hole as usual.

There is going to be some very tough decisions to be made after this.

Whoever is in government will have to look after business to get them back on Thier feet and it will be to the short term detriment for many people.

The people of this country will have to make sacrifices to get the economy back on its feet, whoever is in government will have to make hard unpopular decisions for the long term stability of this country.

I cannot see SF or the left making these decisions.

Also the pot if money they where going to use to solve everything is now gone. I fully expect SF to sit on Thier hands and winge about everything for the next five years in opposition, while FF and FG make the unpopular decisions needed to get people back to work.

If FFG and ,say , the greens form a gov and run the country for , say,the next five years and , say , by which time we manage to stabilize the economy again, and we have exhausted the ‘national savings’. I doubt very much if the outgoing gov would be voted back in going on president. The opposition will highlight how the economy could have recovered faster, built no houses during that period, the hospital situation continues to be disastrous, etc, etc, etc , etc, there will be a sufficient cohort of voters out there that will swallow the lot and vote the gov very significantly out.

Pearse Doherty broadcast live from his spare room in Dönegal on how the insurance sector is treating its clients. Angela Meryl is running Germany from her home . All she needs is the equivalent of an RTE camera service, a mobile and mobile line , tel no’s of main contacts, pen and paper and at least a coffee machine. Self isolation is no excuse to be inactive - especially in the area of politics -

It's about us, we, our proposals, our ideas and what her and Pearse can do.

She's basically electioneering, it's got nothing to do with the crisis and she's doing nothing more than trying to keep Sinn Fein relevant

ML must be scratching her , Pearce Doherty’ ,the O’Reillyladys head for ideas to go on the media so as to keep relevant/ give the impression that they are serious operators with public being put before party when she picked the APPLE millions as the subject ,. She argued that the €13 Billion Apple money should be used Re paying let go workers much more than the 203 € as a initial temporary payment. Every dog in the street knows that Ireland will get only a small fraction of that pot as the distribution will be based on where the apple products were sold . The countries they were sold in. So the € ML referred to is very substantially not available to the Irish exchequer if and when it is EVENTUALLY released from the escrow account. Is there nothing else that bothers SF at the monument?

If ML says so then there must be some element of ‘truth’ in it. The fact that ML said it carries much more weight than if the Clare or Kildare SF td said it - which makes ‘ doubly true’ . Are you still with me?

And, the idea of a unity government was float and she (and not only her in fairness) were not remotely receptive to it.

Now, and only it seems when Leo and Simon are getting a bit of buy in from the public does she want to stick an oar in and talk about "we" Sinn Fein, their nonsense mandate and not "we" everybody.

She's wants to be seen as being proactive, not that she necessarily wants to be involved.

If this all blows over and theirs a unity government involved, she'll be quick to claim credit. If it gets worse and she's in same government, shell distance the party, saying we called for this, and this. If they're not involved and whatever way it goes, they'll find an angle to say how they'd have done X and y.

In reality, Tony Holohan is running the whole damn show right now. What he says has more meaning than anything any of the parties can come up with

Credit where credit is due. SF have kept out of serious governance where they had nothing to offer and their interference could have have cost lives.

are you pretending they or anyone outside the outgoing government have had a chance at serious governance? dont know if youve noticed but theres more serious issues than mere political squabbles at the minute. this thread is based on the erroneous thought that SF disappeared over the past month, when in fact theyve been very active
