Sinn Fein - Populism and Partionism

[myboyblue]

Are you on IPTV?

@tallback

I’d be inclined to think @farmerinthecity has caught the nub of it - we stopped building for half a decade due to the crash and we’ve never caught up.

I’d love to know how many skilled trades left the country in that period out of necessity and never returned

@BruidheanChaorthainn

I heard what Stanley done.

Memories of the Celtic Tiger

Or middle aged men on tfk love to discuss idle gossip based on third hand information about people they know absolutely nothing about. Almost like they unhappy with their own lot so they must take a bit of joy from somebody else being in a bad situation. That would be accurate summation of what’s going on here.

[BruidheanChaorthainn]

It isn’t idle gossip

@BruidheanChaorthainn

It isn’t idle gossip

It doesn’t matter whether it is or not. It’s the timing of it. It’s too late for SF to clean up the mess.

A lot of them left but an awful lot of them took jobs in the factories in Limerick and stayed in there.When lads get used to being paid every week they get to like it.
Edit
I remember reading in the paper about ten years ago or more there was only one apprentice blocklayer serving his time.FAS should have been training up apprentices themselves seeing as there was no work for them and we wouldn’t have the shortage we have now of tradies

A Civil Engineer I know got well looked after during the Celtic Tiger years. Emigrated to Australia in 2012 and is driving plant machinery in a mine in North Western Australia. He’d earn less now as an engineer if he returned home than he does in the mine or if he resumed Engineering, despite the time gap.

[TreatyStones]

On the flip side he’s working in a mine in North West Australia

Only 3 people doing apprenticeships in the wet trades currently a plasterer friend told me there recently

I think we will need more than those three to build the thousands and thousands of houses being promised.

@Tim_Riggins

• reported for appropriate texts to a 17 year old
• suspended in September
• only resigns in January
• glowing reference from the leader on resigning
• continues to be cheerleader in chief of SF online

All of the above is a witch-hunt by the MSM.

Given your opening gambit it would seem so.

We will

Young man’s game if ever there was one

@Little_Lord_Fauntleroy

fuck, hope there isnt any dirt on him

You mean more dirt?

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

What dirt is out there

[glasagusban]

Caught having a fake Twitter account which he used to abuse people from an internet cafe.

RTÉ defends Patrick Kielty's 'traitor' comments after Sinn Féin demands apology

It took them a month to report Stanley’s criminal complaint, but a matter of hours to demand censorship over a joke from Patrick Kielty.

[tallback]

That’s embarrassing from SF

For a party who certainly like to throw abuse around they’re remarkably thin-skinned and po-faced when they get return fire

[Tim_Riggins]

Amazing how they are trying to (once again) twist this into them being the victims.
