Poor from Mary Lou. 13 dead not forgotten. We got 18 and Mountbatten.

Equality, Respect, Integrity.

Something off round this. The very slow denials and failure to provide information on it. Matt Carty was on local radio and was asked and he said it was an "IT matter", was pushed a bit on the this and lost the head on it.

Someone seems to be gently pushing this along. First was the comments about Facebook admins overseas and now where the data is held. Is there a 3rd party using the both in the background for social media targeting like Cambridge Analytics? Seems a stretch.

Not surprised they don't have a data protection officer, who'd be one as it's an awful area to be on top off including GDPR. Likely other parties all at the same as they don't seem to be stoking this too much.

As soon as I heard this non-story, I just knew who would be on this thread falling for the propaganda.

I must say though, it's funny seeing how the story has backfired with a succession of FG websites going down for "maintenance" over the past 12 hours.

Weirdly, the Indo fella who has been deperately trying hard all week too talk about SFs websites etc has not tweeted all day about these FG websites going down.

Who'd have thunk it, that a few days after it transpired that the Tanaiste's phone was seized by Gardaí as part of a criminal investigation, that the media would attempt to manufacture some B.S. "story" about Sinn Féin.

Just imagine for 5 seconds what the media would be like were it Mary Lou's phone that was seized by Gardaí. And the sort of posts we'd be seeing about it from Louther/Fear Bun na S. etc.

Did a Sinn Fein member's daughter turn you down for a dance during the slow set in Earth back in the day?
Or did a member's son steal your best conked cos you are definitely mentally scarred Sir about something and have some hard on for Sinn Fein.

Shock horror....Political party have information on voters stored on a computer.....what party doesn't.....move on, nothing to see here.

[Itchy]

Did another party start deleting websites last week? I'm sure it will be in the 6 o clock news this evening.

Is a GDPR breach a big story? I'm not sure. GDPR breaches occur in every walk of life everyday. The vast majority go completely unnoticed.

People wondering if SF know who they vote for haven't beyond the headline. The only reason they would know if you don't vote SF is if you told them.

We should be able to expect higher standards from a political party which expects to be in government and which is collecting information on the entire adult population.

THey don't know, but they are scraping Facebook etc for clues.

Thought Michelle O'Neill was impressive on late late show. Tubridys lack of empathy and rapport with  her was shocking tbh. For someone with a republican background he just doesn't understand the North, and promotes the partitionist view that because of the threat of loyalist violence , we should just put up and shut up. He does some things well but he matches Gay Byrne and pat kenny in his disdain for northern republicans.....it must be drilled into them in RTE.
She couldn't have been more apologetic about the storey funeral, and her respect for the unionist tradition was clear. I think she has a point about misogyny, and people should judge her on her merits and her reconciliatory words , rather than pre-conceived ideas. I'm no cheerleader for SF , but credit where it's due.

A few bucks on this forum tell us regularly who we've voted for (usually wrongly but sure when you're stereotyping....).
Sam, I didn't see O'Neill as I can't watch the LLS while that overpaid talentless fckn gobsh1te is presenting it.

[BennyCake]

Tubridy was despicable. A hypocritical RTE lackey.

He looked at Michelle like she was shite on his shoe. The opening question about her republican background set the tone and content of the interview. I don't think there was anything else he could have thrown at her. The Storey funeral has been discussed for a year now. Didn't she already apologise for it? Give it a f**kin rest!

I'm no voter of SF, but she handled it very well. But an absolutely pathetic interview from Tubridy yet again.

I thought she was quite impressive and, given Mary Lou's performance, the previous night, it's been a PR success for SF. Tubridy didn't come across well. He's fine on the likes of Toy Shows and the likes but he was painfully out of his depth last night.

People really shouldn't be shocked when they post political stuff in a public forum with their name attached to it. Anyone can see their Facebook.
