Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

Does anyone really think there's anything from the Northern Bank left? They pull off plenty of other heists of public money that pay for these things now, just covering it up better

Like the notes they stole?

They changed them and it became a non currency

Interesting move by SF to run Gildernew in the EU Elections in June.

Probably hoping to take 2 seats in Midlands/North/West by taking Mings seat.

Ming the invisible!

The competition must be bad if people opt to send that useless stoner to Europe to represent them.

Sinn Féin to travel to Washington for St. Patrick's Day 2024. "We will use the trip to push for peace".

Should be boycotting it. Although that probably wouldn't even be noticed in America.

No doubt I am SF biggest critic on here but this is the right decision, they have to go. As should all parties. America is integral to the Irish economy and while I do not condone in any way what the US is doing in conjunction with Israel you have to recognise that there is a bigger picture. Imagine if American companies pulled out of Ireland?

Politics is sometimes about being a grown up. If SF have any designs on being the party of government then you cannot snub America or the EU or Britain. They are huge global economies with a massive impact on Ireland.

Anyone that thinks Ireland's foreign policy will change much under SF is in for a big disappointment.

[Rossfan]

Realpolitik I think it's called.
Others might say grown up politics...

[weareros]

Cynical as it gets. There's money to be made from right wing Israel supporting Irish-America. Ironically using UK law to raise those funds since Irish law correctly forbids foreign donations influencing Irish politics.

If they do get in they'll be under serious pressure to be strong on condemning Israel. (Well depending on whether it's even a hot topic by the time theres an election.) Vast majority of SF support will be massively pro Palestine.

Would it not be fair to say that the vast majority of the Irish public is massively pro-Palestine?

[Rossfan]

We're against mass murder bombing and our sympathies would be definitely with the Palestinians who are suffering a rerun of what happened here in the 16th and 17th Centuries.

Absolutely bar the odd clown you see online. SF unlike the other parties have always been strongly pro-Palestine so it'd be a slap in the face for voters if they reneged on that if they get in.

Think it's a disgrace the govt voted against backing SA up in their court case.

Little drop in support for SF in the latest poll. Wonder why...
