Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

[Nally Stand]

With this and their apparent lack of interest in the A5 project I will consider my vote in the future as I am sure many in this area will.

Lack of interest in the A5? A quick google of "Sinn Féin A5" should put your mind at ease on that one.

Plenty of support since it was stopped but where was SF in the lead up to Danny Kennedy pulling the pin. Letting a Unionist pull the funding to use in unionist areas.

Easy to make noise now.

Your right EC Unique, a press release/statement here and there doesent amount to shit. I know a few fellas that were working on it and are now in Australia.

Fells who would have been working with contractors which SF have been meeting with, alongside the chamber of commerce to advance the campaign. One of the many details you'd have discovered if you actually read some of the press releases, instead of slabbering shite as usual. Tell me this....who has done more work in this area than SF? As someone pointed out recently in the newspaper...at the same time the stoops were posing for a photo in Omagh last week, SF members were on foot around the town (plus other towns) collecting thousands of signatures for the "Action for A5" campaign's petition.

Ah is that what it was? Here was me thinking it was a politically motivated conflict but apparently not. Apparently it was just "years of republican murder and violence".

you just dont get the real gist of events or understanding from google Nally !!

You can sigh all you like Nally but all the links are hot air bullsh1t. The reality is that this road was going ahead until the unionists decided otherwise and came into a nationalist area and put a stop to it. That is an epic fail by nationalist politicians no matter what you try to say. People around here are really pissed off about it.

Michelle Gildernew won the last election by 4 odd votes as far as I remember. I garantee you if that was run today she would not win as a lot of voters feel let down and simply would not vote.

I have voted SF ever since I had a vote. My parents voted otherwise but I convinced them to vote for Michelle in the last election for obvious reasons. I would not be pushing them that way again.

Your condescending sighing is not helping your party in any way.

They used to say there are no motorways west of the Bann, and the this is as true now as in the 1960s.

Same with the Narrow Water bridge project, Sammy Wilson doesn't want it, so it won't happen.

If it was "going ahead anyway" then what exactly was your point with your last post:

.... where was SF in the lead up to Danny Kennedy pulling the pin.
Easy to make noise now.

No point claiming that SF were silent on the A5 in the early days, then when provided with ample evidence otherwise, saying that it doesn't matter if they campaigned at all back then ffs.

...until the unionists decided otherwise and came into a nationalist area and put a stop to it.

It was a judge who put a stop to it. All Danny Kennedy could do was decide if he wanted to appeal the judge's decision.

People around here are really pissed off about it.

I live around here too! I know how people feel about it, and yet you're the first one I've heard claiming that SF have been silent on the A5, when they are by a long way the most active party on it. What party has done more?

Your condescending sighing is not helping your party in any way.

My party? I'm not a member of any party. All sighs are my own and in no way representative of any political party or grouping!



And finally, from just over a week ago...
Sinn Féin MP for West Tyrone, Pat Doherty, has welcomed the confirmation the A5 road project remains an Executive priority.

Speaking following a meeting which was organised and chaired by Pat Doherty MP in order to receive an update from the offices of OFMdFM on the future of the A5 Mr Doherty said:
"The meeting was organised in order to receive an update on the future of the A5 Road Project from OFMdFM.
"There has been much speculation following the delay of the project however those in attendance, including parties from across Ireland were heartened to hear that the project was still an Executive priority and that the Dublin government also remained in support of it going ahead.
"The deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness stated that while there could be a year to 18 months delay, once it has been given the go ahead following the resolution of any outstanding issues, that the road would receive immediate funding to push forward with what is essentially a project of huge economic significance.

Did republicans not murder anyone? Gerry Adams called it murder on RTÉ a few weeks ago. Was there no republican violence? Did I make any comment on the motivation for it?

Gerry Adams can call it whatever he wants, he doesn't speak for me. Most right thinking people wouldn't just term the past few decades as "the years of republican murder and violence".

No but they sure made a hell of a contribution to it.
