Irish Politics Thread

Although, I would expect it would get less coverage outside of silly season. It's a bit hard to swallow someone like Bertie preaching about morality and the "trauma we had to endure". I'm sure it was awful for him watching it on the tele from his wee posh couch in Dublin.

a couch that he bought with cash because he didn't have a bank account 

Has anyone picked up The Long Game by Aoife Moore yet? SF seemingly not happy about it at all

It's one thing protesting but when you have some bringing a gallows that's going into dangerous territory even if those morons outside the Dail appear harmless enough. 

There has been a historical view that Ireland had no far-right, or that it was so small it was unnoticeable. A few individuals screaming into the void. Now there is an organised band, all done via social media. Probably don’t vote and really don’t care too much about elections. Very dangerous stuff, and there is undoubtedly a spectrum of danger amongst those people.
