Did you gauge Unionist opinion? With the Unionist Unity candidate and split Nationalist vote it's hardly a foregone conclusion.

No split Nationalist vote that I seen Patsy not mentioned at doors but will prob get his usual 7/8 thousand vote will still leave Francie with plenty to spare,stick your lot on him

Not exactly spoiled for choice (north or south).

I don't care who/what you bring up from 1916, the War of Independence, the Civil War, 1798, the Cromwellian times, anything.
I wasn't around in those times, I don't have any great knowledge or opinion on what happened then...

Indeed, your ignorance of your own history is blissful, and precisely why your opinion will count for diddly-squat in a decade or two.

Incidentally, enlighten me please as to the last time SF extolled the Republican virtues of the Omagh bombers, or such, that you incessantly bleat on about.

But if you want to dedicate a day to "all those who fought for Irish freedom", where do you draw the line? Surely that's the point. If SF want to include those in the PIRA, on what basis can they exclude the dissidents, who also consider themselves as fighting for 'Irish freedom'?

Strange really that no new party has formed in the south. Looks like it's FG or FF leading the government for the forseeable future.

Where does every other country draw the line? Anyway, was listening to a SF rep on the last word and idea was a bit more than remembering those who fought for Irish freedom. It was about celebrating the republic, the ideals of a republic an remembering those who fought for it. Nothing wrong with that unless of course you are looking for problems. Might be best to wait till there are 32 counties in the republic though.

I don't know where every other country draws the line. But this proposal from SF appears to be counting the PIRA as those who 'fought for Irish freedom', and that's clearly going to be an issue for plenty of people. Especially when you could reasonably argue that many of those 'fighting for Irish freedom' in recent history have actually set it back decades.
