The reality is that things are actually quite good in the Republic, no matter what the echo chamber on Twitter say. The economy is booming, unemployment is low, wages are high, there is a huge budget surplus. The healthcare system is amongst the best in the world (8th according to OECD).
Also, having people with a different skin colour living in the village doesn't really upset as many people as Niall McConnell would want you to think, especially when people are doing so well.

not strictly true, cost of living is horrendous, cost of housing( if you can get one)  eye watering and more and more educated kids are leaving the country .
tbf Sinn Fein in the South haven`t articulated a coherent policy as such on these things which effect their core support in the inner cities and need to refocus.
in the North with the sectarian headcount its easier.

Absolutely that... a sectarian head count.

Quiet weekend with the Hurling on so now back to the Football...Just bought my ticket this morning and bought 2 again, sneaky bastids have 2no tickets set as default when you log onto Ticketmaster.
Armagh need to win this game to progress and show everyone else they've progressed...big game for Galway too, don't expect to be much between the two teams at the final whistle and wouldn't rule out a draw

What's the main difference between FF and FG?

I understand the differences from the inception of the parties but they look and talk the same for most parts

This I could believe...

Class and you can understand that they'll need to be in Paris for the real event of the year, so its not always going to be the case that you can just go to every event.

My cousins lad in the same boat, away at all the gymnastic event around the world, impossible to afford to go to them all.

I'd Imagine that scene of her da running outside into the street is like a scene from a Roddy Doyle film

3 or 4 of the cnuts elected in Dublin.
There are around 950 Council seats in total.
Another of the cnuts ejected from a Count Centre for allegedly assaulting some people.
Sadly Europe in general moving towards extreme right.
Last time that happened Europe had WW2, 40 million deaths, millions displaced, half the Continent destroyed.......
Obviously all the voters who lived through that now dead and the human race displays its inate stupidity once again.

60 million its was estimated died during WW2, that was from the show on Netflix Hitler and the Nazi's evil on trial .

Yeah the far right across the world building, but Giorgia Meloni in Italy has (by some political experts on the radio) has toned down on a lot of stuff pre election. Say what ya can to get in, then do what everyone else has done beforehand it seems. Normal
