i too would pay more taxes for a strong republican government and i would also be an enthusiastic informer on people who i believed were cheating the tax system, i know of a local family who used some legislation giving certain tax breaks to families who spoke Irish within the home to their advantage, despite the fact that not all of the family complied with the requirements of this legislation. my lips are sealed during the current coalition government but should SF get elected to government i will sing like a canary.
i will also rat this family out to the revenue as an act of revenge should SF not be elected.

I think Lucinda’s car crash performance was the most significant last night. Renua have a decent enough guy running down here who I was considering voting for but I wouldn’t dream of it now after her almost fascist outpourings last night.
That leaves a choice between FF, FG and SF as Labour and Social Democrats don’t have candidates. I won’t vote for a party with Gerry Adams as leader and Martin Ferris still involved. Fine Gael are too willing to look after the rich for me. This, depressingly, leaves me in a situation where I am considering voting for Fianna Fáil.
Martin Ferris and Gerry Adams are patriots.
The lovely Claire Byrne mugged a few off on here last night, hon Claire!
Ferris is a horrible cunt in my opinion buddy. I’ve a bit more respect for Adams after the peace process, etc. but I still think he is a shady fucker and wouldn’t like to see him as Taoiseach. You’ll disagree but I reckon if they had Pearse or Mary Lou at the helm I’d say they’d increase their vote even more significantly.

Ferris and Adams put their lives on the line while others were willing to take a back seat and let British terror continue unopposed in Ireland.

Most of us don’t give a shit about the North bud and are happy to let the Brits have it for now. This opinion was supported by a majority of the whole island in referendums in 1998.

Here is the relevant thread for your tales of British terror bud:
Nobody in the Republic gives a fiddlers fuck about the place. If Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness are happy to leave that cesspit under British rule then so am i.
Adams and McGuiness were bought out by the british and gave up the fight for their fantasy 32 in return for a front row seat at the British trough and few extra shillings courtesy of The Queen.

I appreciate the good debate coming out of my question from last night. My beef (if you like) was with RBB. A lot of reports that he won the debate. He certainly showed what the govt/FF/state institutions have not being doing in the past 10 years, he had very, very little about what he was going to do about it.
Imo I think RBB doesn’t give a flying fuck what happens outside the Pale and was piss weak when asked about rural Garda stations and post offices closed in the last few years. “If the people want them open they should be opened”. My question is that if the people in the lower harbour area in Cork want a tunnel over to Cobh do we get it?? Being in Govt imo means you have to make hard decisions and not make decisions on what people want

Who in their right mind would want to make it easier for people to get to Cobh?

That’s a belter of a post
You could argue that it would be making it easier for people to get away from Cobh.
We need to learn the lessons of the Syrian refugee crisis and not have another situation where people are forced to take their life in their hands and put themselves and their families on rafts that are falling apart in order to escape a hellhole.

Correct, the majority of people in the south want Northern Ireland to remain part of Britain.
