Three stories in a row about Sinn Fein, its almost like someone is trying to control the mindset of the people,Any updates on the pay increases TDs awarded them self’s.
@Fomorian: Your anti sinn fein bias is apparent in your comment,But you lack of facts is deliberate,no sf member shot anybody as you well know, leobots are not great with the truth.
@David Huston: leo was protecting irish interests in the brexit negotiations and good Friday agreement while one of the me fein good for nothing MPs be littles the victims of innocent people killed years ago. Do nothing only give out no solutions. Martin mcguinness was the only one of that crowd had some common sense since his passing sein fein has lost the run of itself out of their debth good for nothing. Mary Lou bag of wind is no better
@David Huston: Are people not allowed to just hate SF anymore. I hate em. And I’ve never voted for anyone other than, Workers Party, independents, or Labour. I hate FF and FG too. And the DUP don’t exist where I live thank fup.
@Honeybadger197: “I’ve got no strings /
To hold me down /
To make me fret, or make me frown /
I had strings /
But now I’m free /
To do as Jorry tells me”
@Honeybadger197:
First time vote for SF. Can’t afford a mortgage and my mother is still on a hospital waiting list.
It makes perfect sense not to vote for the government of the past decade.
@Christy Nolan: SF will be getting my 2nd preference vote. I’ll be ignoring the supporters of the party who wrecked the economy and the party currently wrecking society trying to convince me that voting for left leaning candidates is a bad idea.
@Pascal Coleman: Well… three significant things involving Sinn Féin did happen/are happening today, were they supposed to refrain from reporting them to spare hurt feelings or something? Defeats the point of news, doesn’t it?
@Pascal Coleman: As Oscar Wilde once said, the only thing worse than being talked about was NOT being talked about.
SF has FFG worried, otherwise they’d be ignored.
@EdgeOfTheWorld: yeah you’re right, it has absolutely nothing to do with what is actually going on with SF at the moment. It’s all a big conspiracy.
Why won’t the media stop being such big meanies to SF?
It won’t make a blind bit of difference.
The Fine Gael newsletter (Irish Independent) will still regular carry more stories on its front pages attacking that parry more so than the rest.
The head might have changed – the D.O.B. media tactics won’t.
@Unitedpeople:
SF gets too much media exposure. No matter what other party is involved in the news it is always Adams’s photo that heads the article. Similarly any misfortune that happens in a community the media always go to a SF councillor for comment.
@Walt Jabsco: Unlike the present lot in government that is writing its own rules and laws, unconstitutionally signing us up to the EU arms – and then will be spending €3,000,000,000+ in 2010 on weapon spending?
Not defending any illegal robbing by any side – by is the legal side any better by another shower?
@Christy Nolan: off the agenda? There’s not a person in the country that doesn’t know we have a major crisis with our health service. People are able to process more than one story at a time.
@frank murphy: you could be right there Frank. It seems it is the same with all parties. The overall majority of members in FG voted for Simon Coveney for FG leader yet Leo got the job. It is hard to know which is worse, give the people a vote and then ignore the voting results or not give them a vote at all.

Well I have read all the negative comments about Sinn Fein their so stupid not worth my time . So back to reality Fine Gael ,FIANNA Fail , Labour ,Social Democrats ,The Greens , a bunch of Independents we have seen how all those Party’s have performed the state of the HSE ,Social Housing won’t have room on my page to mention them all. Sinn Fein are the party for the future so whoever leads good luck to them .
@Donal Carey: How’s power sharing going up Nord,no problems with the health service ,no one sleeping rough ,or are you too busy putting bread on your head to be doing real work
@Robert Harris:
The DUP cannot stick to the good Friday agreement.
It’s not in their DNA to accommodate a side show like the Irish language act. It’s nothing tangible really but they couldn’t stomach anything different in the orange state for the orange people. AKA bigotry with a slap in the face.
So how can you deal with them in a government.
Can only imagine the behind the scenes childishness behaviour
@Robert Harris: who is talking about the North of Ireland we are talking about the South of Ireland come back when there is a United Ireland which is not to far away.
It would appear that Cianan just checked the Paddy Power website and didn’t properly research the story, lazy journalism…
Doherty has not put his name forward.
Maybe that spacer going around with the bread balanced on his head will put his name in the ring, shocking people who pretend to represent the under privileged, you will be found out in the end as failures as well !!
There is only one possible choice for leader. Barry McElduff. You know he is the right choice if you know what side your bread is buttered on. Towers above the rest
