I can see this Whingers comment been thrown back at him in the next live debate. Meanwhile both Michael and Enda had to face some protesting whingers today.

Fagan_ODowd · February 22, 2016, 1:39pm

Enda is Stage 4.

tazdedub · February 22, 2016, 1:40pm

He looks stage 4 in that pic on RTE

Matty_Hislop · February 22, 2016, 1:40pm

FG are unravelling in front of our eyes.

Fagan_ODowd · February 22, 2016, 1:43pm

Unreal. It looks like the election has put 10 years on him.

Dublin Central candidate William Gorman posts on here as @ProjectX , his leaflet betrays him.

@Sidney

Has Christy Burke a chance?

Sidney · February 22, 2016, 2:43pm

I’d give him a chance, but I don’t think he’ll make it.

Mary Lou has come out swinging this week… She destroyed all last night and has taken on Baldy Noonan and Baldy Burton today and landed some serious blows.

Locke · February 22, 2016, 2:51pm

Go on…

tazdedub · February 22, 2016, 2:58pm

Is the Vincent Browne Live debate from Mayo on tonight or tomorrow night?

On LMFM this morning, Fine Gael TD for Meath East Regina Doherty said to Gerry Adams that the following unprovoked, sectarian massacre at a Sinn Fein constituency office in 1992, in which three people died, was “all brought on by your own actions, Gerry, all brought on by your own actions”.

You cannot make this shit up. Fine Gael are actually now excusing Loyalist massacres against Catholic civilians.

The clip is played at 10:55 on today’s News At One on RTE Radio 1.

1992: Ten nationalists killed in one week
BY ARAN FOLEY

Fifteen years ago this week, on 4 February 1992, a member of the RUC’s elite Divisional Mobile Support Unit launched a gun attack on people inside Sinn Féin’s advice centre in Belfast’s Lower Falls. Three were killed and another two seriously wounded.

The three who died were 61-year-old office attendant Paddy Loughran; Sinn Féin activist Pat McBride; and a member of the public who had come to the centre seeking advice, Michael O’Dwyer (25). The two injured were 28-year-old Sinn Féin activist Pat Wilson and another member of the public, Norah Larkin.

It was the first mass killing in a week which was to see ten nationalists murdered.

Vote Willie, the safeword in this years election.

tazdedub · February 22, 2016, 3:10pm

Well that would be no surprise since according to Willie a family member had taken out a contract on him.

Tim_Riggins · February 22, 2016, 3:35pm

Hilarious to see the biased media go after Fergus Crawford for challenging Sinn Fein. Words like “banker” being sprayed about desperately trying to deflect away from his points.

Sidney · February 22, 2016, 3:47pm

The media were loving it, mate.

Fergus got involved in the full knowledge that he was going to be in the public view (as he’s perfectly entitled to do), but didn’t want to give away his identity, because he knew he’d make himself look like a spoofer and idiot. Which is, given that we now know who he is, exactly what he looks like, just like yourself.

Anything to say about Regina Doherty excusing an unprovoked sectarian massacre by an off-duty RUC man against civilians in the waiting room of a Sinn Fein constituency office?

All Gerry Adams’ fault, presumably?
