"The Sinn Féin leaders insistence on directly addressing the Ceann Comhairle through Irish, knowing that she is not fluent in the language, was no better than the Taoiseach trying to hide behind the "cupola focal" in his recent accusation towards Ms.McD. Both instances are a verbal equivalent of the two fingered gesture used by M Lowery. Politicians are far less likely to wax patriotic "as Gaeilge" when they are touting for votes among the majority of people in this country who do not have fluency in Irish. Has politics reached a new low where we have politicians with a ballot box in one hand agus fáinne sa láimh eile. "  | |||

Secondly, calling out genocide is a good thing and doesn't distract from anything else in any way whatsoever.
Sometimes it's amazing how humans can do two things at the same time. | |||

On a seperate note I find the Irish fab forum quite interesting when I come across very narrow minded people like you who are unable to think for themselves, can't abide a different opinion yet come here, of all places, to sneer and eye roll while they wait for the cavalry.
Not all about you honey but do read the comments properly before doing the whole sanctimonious thing! | |||

But sure look... "You started with both deliberately misquoting me and behave very condescendingly so dont moan when you get push back, you are obviously not used to getting your way. And yes most of the opposition do stand over the rights of asylum seekers coming to Ireland, (the second highest destination country in Euro per capita) even though they are well aware that the vast majority of our applicants are abusing the system. Even our government are belatedly acknowledging this. | |||

"I'm not going to get involved with your argument. However, the situation in Palestine is worthy of time in the Dail. Lest we forget, we also had a neighbour that for a while considered us Alien and settled in our lands. The Ottomans which at the time of the famine held an Palestinian population and the Ottomans offered some relief to us. Hell if you don't like people because of their complexion or a certains religion, there are christians and Irish peacekeeper in the area affected by the conflict. It's possibly the only stance the government has taken that I agree with since I could understand politics." hey if you want our elected representatives focusing on issues such as Palastine that's absolutely fine, that's democracy in action. Not sure what your point about "not like people " is supposed to mean. | |||

"Firstly, I didn't start out by either quoting or misquoting you. Then there's the silly personal stuff again.
Secondly, the fact that your focusing your ire on the opposition suggests you don't understand the Dáil. The opposition didn't create the asylum we have,the government did, and they have a comfortable majority. If the opposition were jumping up and down about in anger sky it, it still wouldn't matter since tune government have a comfortable majority. If you're angry about it then direct that anger at the government parties and independents who support them rather than at the parties who have nothing to do with it and have zero control over it. | |||

"Discussing how a right is used isn't a discussion on the right itself. I don't care if the speaking time is wasted ( in someone's view) but I do care that the right exists. | |||

"Im just going to say ff/fg added extra seats to the dail for the simple reason that no one party will be a majority and need a second big party to win which in fact is happening now and last elections its shameful tbh" Ahhh now come on, we haven't had a majority government in Ireland in heading for 50 years. A few extra seats to allow for democraphic changes won't change that Maybe as far back as Jack Lynch but I could be wrong. | |||

" We've a long history of minority and coalition governments. Think back to the rainbow coalition etc. Our Proportional Representation System favours smaller parties so increases the fragmentation. There's not a lot new. FF/FG like all political parties will align with anyone when the numbers work (including SF)and there isn't a better looking alternative, to remain in power. They will also stab each other in the backs when it's in their interest. That's politics. SF's problem is the fragmented left, they have no dancing partner and are left playing with themselves while the other two get all the fun. A swing of 10 seats away from FF/FG would probably do it. | |||
