From top: Independent Alliance members earliert this month including Finian McGrath (second right); William Campbell
Finian McGrath TD, talks to journalist William Campbell of [Irish current affairs podcast] Here’sHow.ie about the Independent Alliance’s 10-point statement of principles.
For example:
William Campbell: “Does the point ;Equal rights, opportunity and access to justice for all regardless of gender, creed or age’ mean that taxpayer-funded schools run by the Catholic Church will no longer be able to discriminate?”
Finian McGrath: “Absolutely, that’s stressed very strongly in principle five, we strongly believe in equal access to education, and that’s something that applies to people that work in the education service”.
Campbell: “And an equal admissions policy for non-Catholic children?”
McGrath: “I’ll have to consult with my colleagues.”
Oh.
Listen here
We’re all equal as long as we’re all Catholic…. funny and sad at the same time.
I have to give credit where it’s due. A BS post which doesn’t show the opposition in the best light. Kudos
+1
I thought I’d missed an angle somewhere
An alliance and not an actual party. I wonder why, oh wait yeah I do know, none of them want to give up the allowance they get for being independent.
the Independent Allowiance then.
basically the Google Chrome logo.
If you think it’s close to the Chrome logo, then it is a complete rip off of the Picasa logo.
I’m just FIZZING with enthusiasm for this brave new dawn in Irish politics.
#yawn
A primary principle of a Republic is equality for all its citizens.
Except Prods, and Gheys, and Wimmin, and immigrants.
Expect they are all equal. It’s the straight white man i feel sorry for.
Yeah, it’s tough out there for us. Now where is my fedora?
Yeah i mean as a majority iv so many choices, people just don’t understand the stress of it all.
In fairness to McGrath, that’s [quoted above] not what he said. He actually said his personal view would be ‘yes’, but he’d have to consult with his colleagues as to whether it’s a “red line issue”. He also confirmed that it’s an ultimate objective of the Alliance.
Slightly poor form there, BS.
Thanks for that clarification.
