Just joined the site⌠Time for him to go. Party needs a new impetus and time to move away from the internal strife and allegations if they are to increase their strength in the republic.
Edit: Yes i know heâs going as president but i mean leave the stage totally. Shouldnât be seen at all.
Just joined Sinn Fein?
Just joined and didnât know he was leaving?
First of Vincent Browneâs two part documentary about the great man has just started on TV3.
Enjoyed first part.
Vinny looks very unimpressed when camera is on him.
The I, The I , The IRA.
Gerry was the voice of Wannabe accountant pre pubescent children from Wexford in the early 90s?
Yes, along with recently retired councillor Anthony Kelly, Mick Wallace TD, hotelier Liam Griffin and Oasis.
Vincent Browne doc on Adams was an odd watch.
Spent most of it giving a history lesson, but Gerry got honorable mentions by all except Seamus Mallon who cut the back off him.
Unreal scenes⌠Chosen by Mandela to be an usher at his funeral⌠Now the Mayor of the greatest City on earthâŚ
Gerry Adams honoured by New York Mayor Bill De Blasio this morning who presented him with a Proclamation before declaring today as âGerry Adams Dayâ stating,
âI want to honour him for pursuit of a goal that makes so much sense â a goal for a United Ireland.â https://t.co/KatHmQddcj
Brendan Howling is apoplectic over this apparently. An added bonus
Adams will be remembered and revered around the world foreverâŚWhereas no one will really remember any parliamentary leader weâve had since Dev⌠theyâll be remembered here for being crooks alright but thatâs about the height of it⌠An Irish man picked to be an usher at Mandelaâs funeral and not a peep about it ---- thank fuck for social media, the establishment canât keep a lid on that!!
All Irishmen are American and all Americans are Irish.
Ultimately he hung on too long and has damaged his/your party in the process, set ye back a few years anyway which may not ultimately mean much.
It is what it is⌠The party is absolutely flying it on the ground- loads of young people joining it. The amount of work it does in many communities across Ireland is unrecognized. We are building an army (no, not that kind) of support across the country. Where the old political parties have abandoned the young and the working class long ago, we are making savage in roads. In 10 years we will have massive numbers⌠Most people u25 know little of the troubles and have no time for the establishment crooks and do not get their news from traditional establishment sources like most people 40 plus do. Mary Lou will bring the party on massively.
Theyâve been needing to remove those direct links to the past for a while, Adamsâs retirement allows them those opportunities, I canât understand why he delayed it for so long, it will take a while but thereâs no reason they canât make a huge impression with the right people
The partyâs in great hands with the likes of you taking on the baton.
