Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Slap in the face to the people who buried their dead with no fuss and no attendance, or watched their friends and relatives funeral on a webcam.  An Ireland of equals eh.

Unbelievably disrespectful action by SF . Hard to fathom really. Arrogance of them

[skeog]

Some tribute from GA for BS comparing him with MC.

Equality

Respect

Integrity

[gallsman]

Be interesting to see how they try to dress it up. Absolute hypocrites. O'Neill will try and laugh it off but there's no excuse given the policy she's (rightly) forced on people throughout this mess.

Very bad week for Sinn Fein with the crazy decision to nominate Paddy 'The Hooligan' Hoolahan as mayor and then displaying blatant disregard for Social Distancing rules at the funeral today.

Most people will know of somebody who passed away during the last 3 months and whose immediate family or close friends were unable to pay their respects so there should have been no exception made today for Bobby Storey. His mourning should not carry any more weight than any other ordinary citizen and should never have been elevated as such. They deserve whatever criticism comes their way even if many will use it simply to score political points.

It'll be used to justify an Orangefest in 2 weeks.

Of course, they would criticise Dominic Cummings, but do not apply the same principles to themselves.
And Mary-Lou was claiming that she should have been Taoiseach!

From what I seen it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be in fairness.

We buried a great clubman recently and we lined the road from Healys to the pitch, it was marked out and well marshalled.

Bring in the public eye and if everyone was watching she should have sorted it!

But we were all told we couldn't do the same. Hypocrites and arrogance personified

The scrutiny was on SF they should have made the effort

"We voted for change"
Nothing else matters.

Absolutely. With marching season coming up SF and the NI assembly could have insisted that they don't go ahead because of health reasons and social distancing.

That's all gone out the window now and SF can't say or do anything to stop them. As usual SF members on twitter refusing to accept they did anything wrong and are actually proud of yesterday

Couldn't argue with anything you said yc.

I have defended SF at times on here but my sweet baby Jesus what possessed them to allow this blatant disregard for the regulations, calling out the Garda funeral or the Noah vigil is irrelevant. 3 wrongs do not make a right and O'Neill was the one putting pressure on business over lock down. She has illustrated her inability to lead.

An own goal for SF but they are held to higher standards than others as usual.
