Yep. There isn’t any way that FG could know what party the voters support. It’s basically a realization that ordinary workers and their families were voting. And that tweet is basically saying ‘the plebs are revolting, we must stop them’

Well they’ll have an idea if the turnout is high in certain polling stations. Ringsend being high would mean a higher vote for SF

I think you’re possibly falling victim to this invented narrative that this vote is some sort of indicator of the state of the nation – which it is definitely not
this constituency is very niche, specific
we may laugh at the pathetic handwringy “for godssake please vote or else ze Shinners might get in” but I can tell you 110% that’s how a lot of those particular burghers think
like I’m a very grown man and to this day come GE time I’ll always receive an uninvited “pep-talk” from a particular family member born bred and living in a privileged enclave just off the N11 almost word for word in the form of that desperate tweet there…I’m convinced he keeps a little notebook with names and numbers and a risk column laughable or not it’s the nature of that beast
I’m sticking to my original prediction (unfortunately) for posh boy

I’ve no doubt about the way the vote has worked there over the years, and no doubt there’s still a big element of it. What you have now though is many young people, renting for instance, who see their chances of home ownership going up in smoke thanks to fFG. Many renters in that area. The people you refer to also have children in the same situation, so the worm may be turning slightly.

in my own case yer man like all his old school tie boardroom network already have accumulated wealth and shelling out for a gaff for young Fionn the grandson after he’s enjoyed his 20’s is no bother atall and young Fionn will himself be grateful and vote as Grandad and Dad has (despite any notions picked up off the real world interactions he’s had outside the leafy demesne)

If The Sun newspaper is correct, why did the Gardaí follow them on to the N7 on the wrong side of the road?
Questions need to be asked – everything has context.
… even if they were members of a burglary gang.

Have you given any thought to the truck driver and his family? Your compass is way off.

“We revealed in 2017 how Freeman stormed the home of innocent OAPs William and Kathleen Crean in Wicklow on March 12, 2015.
During the terrifying raid, Freeman told the pensioners: “We want your f***g gold, silver and cash.”
Mr Crean was hit on the left arm with a hurley and suffered a shoulder injury as he fought off the attacker.
Freeman grabbed Mrs Crean by the throat and dragged her from the bed.
She suffered an injury to her foot and bruising to her neck.

Restaurants and pubs to be protected against legal action for refusing entry without vaccine cert.
Another slanted headline of course, because they must also accept people who had a positive PCR test. But no PCR negative acceptive and certainly no rapid antigen- despite it being accepted all over Europe as valid.
No tourists including people from the north who hold Irish passports? BIG problem right there as those Irish people cannot have a vax cert. Children to be allowed apparently, even though not vaccinated.
All of this is to protect unvaccinated according to Mehole but not children, and is not discrimination- yeah right.
Contradictory story in The Examiner- “…it is unlikely that those …. Who have recovered from Covid will be able to access indoor dining, despite being allowed to travel’. So people who had a positive PCR test have to sit at the back of the bus, along with the unwashed.
Also mention of data protection- “issues would not arise if a premises did not store data from individuals entering the premises.” But they have to for track and trace, so unless the vaccinate cert itself does not identify an individual by name- data is most definitely stored. Unless they are going to dispense with track and trace which would not make sense, as vaccinated can still be infectious.
And, by their very presence in the establishment, private medical data is being disclosed, not just to the business, but to any member of the public walking past.
This is going to be an absolute mess- and it will be left to the Guards to enforce of course.

I wonder when the newspapers are going to start reporting on the Gay Choir of san Francisco singing that they are “Coming for your Children”
“Oh that’ll never happen” they said, “we’re all about peace and love” they said. LGBT: “Its not a choice we’re born this way!” Also LGBT: “We’ll convert your kids.”

FG begging blueshirts to get out and vote….to keep SF out. ??
It’s all the same thing mate. Wise up.

You’d prefer a now dead man to be posthumously sentenced to death by truck collision rather than face justice for the alleged crime of burglary?
They didn’t.
Aer you somehow implying that it’s all the Gardaí’s fault?!
Why were the accused men not apprehended earlier in the day then?
The Gardai said they had pursued them earlier in the day.
Pursued. Not caught. Clue in the word there.
Seriously…?!
Yea I’m serious, that’s what they said, can you answer my question now please?

What’s your point? The big bad gays are after your kids and this is proof?
I think that is exactly his point.
I think that the video speaks for itself :) ‘Nuff said and all that.
Yes, it does. It doesn’t speak for your frothing homophobic response to it, though.
Put the english papers on a second page. Please.
