Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

[Louther]

I'll say one think for Sinn Fein, after the scandal in UK about MPs having second jobs, no fear of any of them having a second job! Not too many had first jobs before they became politicians in the first place!

Sinn Féin councillors did not declare community group links during £2m Covid funding process - Belfast Live

I'm shocked

I didn't even think stuff like this was newsworthy as there aren't many journalists willing to report on it

£800k spent on a Flags, identity & culture report, and there are no actions planned.  Bunch of amateurs.

Strange hill for SF to die on with this ban on hunting with dogs...

What was so wrong with the wording of the legislation I wonder?

Would SF have many votes within the fox-hunting community? I'd have thought that the SDLPs domain, along with House of Lords, poppies and what not

Fox hunting here is mainly with lurchers, terriers- not your image of middle England. Same as broc hunting. Not a class thing, a defs not a religion thing. SDLP voted for bill btw

It's the story of thing carried out by yahoos and rednecks over here.

They should have backed the ban.

80% of the public back a ban, so how is this about votes? Isn't this the opposite?

Another example of why they'll struggle in power, when real decisions have to be made they hide and sit on the fence. Be it their voter base or inner group calling the shots they incapable of taking a position. If it's a simple decision like this, how can they handle bigger calls that will have to be made that affect then of thousands of people. They can't abstain then.

Also same old story with Covid restrictions coming back in, their first reaction is to shout for business supports and PUP payments and when that already been done they disappear avoid any commentary round the restrictions, in case they asked if they agree or disagree with them.

Everything can't be based on calling for a report into XYZ, in real life you make a decision and stand over it.

I still think they'll not field enough candidates in ROI at next election, be unable to form a majority and happily sit in opposition. They have no spine.
