Won’t be too long before Austin Stack and the Quinn family are rolled out again.

This nonsense again.

What's nonsense about it?

That's exactly what they have been doing - using the victims families for political point scoring.

And Sinn Fein don’t? And we went through this in 2020 the Quinn family raised the issue first. This caused SF and it’s online troglodytes to spring up and pepper the online debate with dismissals and language about ‘wheeling-out’ etc.

Any time there is an election the media go straight to the victims families - and the families gets completely used and manipulated, because the media don't give 2 hoots about their campaign for justice. 

1st it was the McConvilles, then the Stack's, then the Kelly's and now the Quinn's.

Even Stevie Wonder can see this.




It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

The Quinn family have been in the media for a many years raising awareness. It pre-dates 2020, and there was ongoing media coverage of the case well after, in spite of what some posters on here were saying at the time. They brought it up again in 2020, and it is both acceptable and understandable that they do so.

It’s hardly surprising that you’re calling it nonsense. The public don’t want to keep hearing about it when there’s more important issues. Go back to dreaming about John Bruton like a good lad.

Does this apply to anything historical in Ireland?

Totally irrelevant. History is History not Austin Stack getting his few minutes of fame every so often when he’s wheeled out as you say.

When The Ditch exposed the FG TD and the property planning fiasco the Irish Indo (his paper) had a piece on The Ditch editor about a day later on how he was thousands in rent arrears etc. The Irish Indo is so far up the governments hole its actually laughable.

Art is literally defined as a work to be appreciated for its beauty or emotional power.

That image has certainly got the pulses of the establishment racing this week

I’m sure the majority of people would consider the likes of the Mona Lisa average enough. Like anything creative, you’ll either like it or not. Art is subjective. Like being the chairperson of YFG.

What was far more telling about the likes of Sheahan was the indignity of someone covered in tattoos presenting a polarizing opinion of the government in an articulate manner without having to interrupt or shout down the person beside him in order to be heard.

Almost as telling as the rag of a paper he represents releasing an online article about the artist at the same time as the show was being broadcast.
