Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

Racist yank doesn't understand the words "vast majority" obviously.

where did i call it a plantation i put the video up so people could see what happen



now tell me where i said it was a planatation i am not responsible for mcconnels videos have a word withj mcconnel if you have a problem i put the video up so people could see what happen last night but you shoot the messanger of a video i come from a neutral perspective.

It's the oldest trick in the book that these guys are pulling

"Reputable" news sources such as RTE, Irish Independent and the Irish Times won't report on what happened at this meeting because it doesn't suit their agenda.


So then the only reports that are available are from the more fringe elements on social media which they can then throw back in your face as disreputable

These must be typos then

Do the states take in refugees?

Considering they are the main cause for producing them in the first place

Themselves and the Brits have caused them all ffs

So do we now have two threads to post links when a foreigner does something bad?

Well based on Sinn Feins own recent actions and words, I would confidently assume that if a person advocated for background checks on people coming in, or demanded that convicted criminals get deported, they'd be accused of being a racist, a bigot or an Xenephobe

SF have got away with immature student debating type contentions, e.g. multinationals bad, landlords bad, tenants good, all immigrants are welcome etc. Being in government requires mature positions on these things and the immigration one is especially difficult.

I think the issue with the current government is they've had loads of time to fix crises, especially the housing issue.

No will to deal with it.  It'll be what SF will be hammering home in the run up to the next election.

they'll probably say its Sinn Feins fault they couldn't fix any of them issues. Bit like the time Liz Truss made a mess of the economy and they tried to blame it on Labour

FF and FG created the housing crisis alright, by having one of the most successful economies in the world over the last two decades. Property prices go up, like every successful city, when everyone who wants a job has a job and there are so many well paid jobs. And then exacerbated by no building during the pandemic which makes the housing hole bigger, like most developed countries.

Not even in the top 25

That's by overall size which favours higher populated countries. If you did by head of population, Ireland would be top 3. Neither would be accurate, the latter inflated by MNCs. But certainly the quality of life for the majority in Ireland well exceeds many of those 25. Ireland usually scores high on UN Human Development Index.

Does the human development index take into account the eastwall brigade?  I'd say that would skew the figures

If you count success as young people being Ireland's biggest export, knock yourself out.

If you count success as young families and couples in their 30's as success, go ahead.

When did the pandemic start? 2020.

How long have FFG been in power?  They weren't elected last month. 

As I say, no will to tackle the housing crisis.

45 women held captive.....unbelievable

Not a subscriber so can only read first few lines. Awful, hope the women get the support they need.

 How are Sinn Fein involved?

They support open borders

No they don't read Mary Lou's answer to that question it the IT today. They do not support open borders, they do support a humanitarian approach to refugees and asylum seekers who are genuine.
