GAA tree planting for Stormont

[longrunsthefox]

This might seem to be some sort of achievement or milestone as far as the GAA is concerned but I'm with the Fox man on this one - close to the statue of Carson How close and why is it important that it's close or not close ?.

They're clutching at straws when this is newsworthy IMO.

There you go ...and he's an orangeman

Your thesis is that the drunk driver would have got a longer sentence but for the tree? Or am I missing the point completely about the dangers of tree planting?

Thesis is there are important issues to be sorted like justice and policing and photo of SF MLAs all smug because they planted a tree is nausiating. Look at the expressions on their faces like they had achieved something... ffs   

So scrap all departments like Health, Culture, Education, etc.. and just focus on Police & Justice? All MLAs don't work in the one department.

Wat the f** are you on about Ziggy? Where did I say scrap all departments?  This tree thing is tokenism... whoopy-do... but what about getting sports grants to GAA, education sorted, policing etc... instead of getting all chuffed with ourselves because there is a GAA tree in Stormont... big tickle.   

Where does planting a tree to celebrate 125 years of GAA affect Policing and Justice?

They are pictured gloating like they achieved something which I find distasteful because at the moment they are doing f** all and if planting a bloody tree in Stormont is what our aspirations have been reduced to God help us. As previous poster says is such a non-story. Let them congratulate themselves when they sort out a lot of more important issues.  Many GAA clubs has really struggled to get government grants but what the hell we have a tree in Stormont ...bring out the brass band 
The DUP are probably looking out the windows of the big house laughing at them.

A new tree has appeared beside the shinners tree over the weekend. Gerry Kelly says it isn't theirs and was obviously planted  by MI5!

It's ok joking Tony, but there needs to be a root and branch change to policing structures and this posing for stupid photos nipped in the bud

No more trees to be planted, then or books to be read or songs to be sung or dinners to be eaten until the important issues are sorted out. Because sorting out important issues can't be done as long as there's tree planting going on. Stands to reason, doesn't it.

I get it now. I'm surprised you're so slow on the uptake, Ziggy.

Plant away but don't try and fool us that it is some sort of achievement... it's nothing to clap about. "They can fool all of the people some of the time etc..."

Never claimed it was an achievement. I just think it's silly to complain about it because of Policing and Justice.

There's too many Unionist symbols and trappings at Stormont, so these trees will go along way in readdressing the balance. Plus I think it's much better than statues, flags and other such stuff.

Fuxache!  Ziggy I was using policing and justice as one example of the many things not being sorted by the chancers in Stormont. But hey! we've got a tree... anyway this is getting a bit repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repeitive... zzzzzzzz

I'm not going to turn into pints over this  I'll respectfully agree to disagree with you on the matter

[longrunsthefox]

Ziggy the day you and me fall out will be a sad one... so stop talking shite about  a tree

As soon as you get off your high horse about Policing and Justice   

[stew]

I think ziggy's point is, in the immortal words of earl of 'hot chocolate' .................it started with a tree.

ziggy, you have lost the plot.....................of land it would take to plant thon tree on.
