This is not an exhaustive list but a list including incidents that have been brushed aside by SF's leadership. These aren't historic either, most of these happened within the last year. SF isn't alone in having less than perfect standards by any means, however, the... (17/n)

Has anyone a list of these 50 Councillors? I wanna ensure I don't canvass for any of them again. FF should be about putting the country first, not party and certainly not self interest. I've seen no legit policy issue any of these people have put to their call for a No vote.

Does @MariaBaileyFG want to see all playgrounds in Dublin shut as the swings aren't supervised? We have insurance costs closing sports clubs around the country yet here's a TD fully jumping on the compensation culture bandwagon.

Dublin TD Maria Bailey who fell off swing wasn't holding on properly, hotel claims

A Fine Gael TD was holding items in both her hands when she fell out of a swing, a hotel she is suing claims.

Seen a lot of SFers bringing up what count people got elected on in #GE2020 as if it mattered a damn. However, let's apply their desire for a FPTP system in Ireland based on the Feb election & constituencies. The below would be the result. I wonder do they still want it now?

(2/n) First claim is that taxation (presumably personal) is "insane". This is demonstrably untrue crap. We've one of the most progressive taxation systems. Don't take my work, here's the stats from Eurostat. Amongst the lowest rates for low earners and midtable for high earners.

There is no variant proven to be vaccine resistant. Also a huge & growing body of evidence that vaccines prevent transmission. This is tosh. Looking at hypothetical but unlikely events as a means to base public policy is nonsense. If we did that, full lockdown would never end.

Negatives tests are not sufficient due to incubation cycles. People can transmit the virus after vaccination. Vaccine escape variants exist and are a growing risk as new ones evolve. That's the beginning of the story.

Just remember that if you vote for Peter Casey today, you automatically give up any right to give out about Trump or the people who voted for him. You'll be the same as them, falling for the same tactics to elect someone equally unsuited for the office. #Aras18

2 days later, despite facts of the case now widely reported, people are still persisting with the lie that Gardaí are somehow gun happy racist murderers. If that's so, then name me another black person shot dead by Gardaí? I'll wait. There is racism in Ireland. This isn't it.

I think it's beginning to sink in with some people that Eoin Ó Broin's contribution to housing policy via his book is on par with what E.L. James' writing gave to the romantic fiction genre! Funnily enough, it also belongs in the fiction section.

(6/n) We've very few tolled roads in Ireland. Schools and Unis are largely public. Hospitals too. Trains are all public. Electricity network with Eirgrid. Not sure how anyone can claim Ireland's infrastructure is "privatised for huge gain". That's just false.

This election has been nothing short of a disaster for Fianna Fáil. Very hard to see how Martin remains on as leader. A change has to be made, if not in the short term, certainly the medium term.
