They'll only get into Government in the 26 as part of a Coalition.
The other Party(ies) can pull the plug if SF act the bolx.

From a young voter's perspective how could they act the bolx more than what has already been there for countless years?

Especially since the current parties aren't above using court proceedings themselves with the meedja!!

You could fire a suit on a jack donkey and a scarecrow and they'd be better than the FFG rats who've been in for years

It's beginning to look like SF policy to sue for defamation and TBH it might just soften the cough of a lot of the media they get in the south in particular where the lunatic fringe are given platforms to attack SF for all and sundry with little or no facts to back them up.

Suing a paper is one thing, but suing the actual reporter is another.

It is entirely a false narrative that there has been no progress over countless years. These peoples' grand uncles had to go London and labour on building sites and live in a bedsit. Now they complain that the government does not import enough Moldavians to build them a cheap house, no question of becoming builders themselves, of course.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Don't worry about the homeless on the streets, the state of the healthcare system or the fact that its practically impossible to buy or rent a house within 2 hours of Dublin. Or the fact that our best and brightest young people are getting out of the hell out dodge to Australia or Canada as soon as they can...

Who exactly is "homeless on the streets"

There are 13,000 (13,000 too many) being provided with emergency accomodation at the taxpayers' expense.

I don't think anyone expects a cheap house Armaghniac. They just don't wish to spend 80%+ of their earnings on the basic human need that is shelter.

FF/FG have created a ticking time bomb for housing in Ireland.

Can't say I know too many of them but take a dander up any street in Dublin.

Housing is a joke in the south. And it's spilling into border towns as well. Newry rental prices have gone absolutely wild.

If he was defamed, and a court will decide surely he is entitled to his good name? Reporters have a duty to be truthful. As an IT reader they are very anti SF in their narrative.

Huge housing problems in Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne. Other cities facing the same issues.
Brightness and best are not getting the hell out of dodge no matter what you might think. Yes many young people travel for a few years after they have finished their education. Most return.
Healthcare in the North is worse than the South and SF have been the largest nationalist party for over 10 years!

It will be a huge vote for SF at the next election. Regrettably.

£1000 a month wouldnt look at it in a lot of cases. Anything that comes up has huge amounts of interest and is nigh on impossible to get
