robbed everyone? ha. fianna fail happened to be in power in the time of the worst global recession in history. i dont see how any left wing party could have handled it in anyway better than ff. the whole "fianna fail ruined our country" record is fairly worn out at this stage, we all know the way this is gonna play out, the fg-lab coalition will collapse within three years, a regrouped ff will mop up and maybe sinn fein will be upto 20 seats max, hopefully enuf to the scumbag traitor adams out.
@ucdelectrohead i didn't think anyone else in the world saw the whole situation the same as me but you seem to, while everyone is roaring about FF and how they made a mess they never look around and say "hey, anyone else notice the whole world is in a shit state and some countries are worse than us?", all that FG-LAB has done is make people feel smug that FF is out and sit around doing the exact same thing as FF except breaking all of their promises, where did FGs 5 point plan go?
Ok then the Irish should look very hard at what FF has done to their country. The one time in a thousand years that the Irish were not the dogs of poverty then FF stole everything and now look at yourselves today. You went from being one of the best economies with the Celtic Tiger to being one of the PIGs of Europe. All thanks to the FF and their band of thieves.
@LOYALISTMUSIC1 dont be under the impression that we all support those Nordy terrorist scumbags, at the end of the day theyre British subjects from North Ireland and they can stay there, theyre not wanted down here and I'm not on my own in saying that
I cannot believe Martin speaks to Adams as though Adams is from a land far away: 'down here in the Republic'. Seriously, it's like he's denying Northern Ireland is not a part of Ireland in any sense. A cheap, nasty shot at Gerry Adams there, although Adams handles it well. Still, very surprised that there are Irish folks denying the Irishness of anyone from the North. It's akin to disowning them in my view. Not good at all.
Michael Martin and his party have brought shame to this country. If they had any honour they would disband. Its a pity that the RIRA doesnt bomb their next ard fheis.
no wonder this country is in the state it is still being controled by west brits with their holier than thou attitudes and their pig ignorant views. they are like abroken record and keep bringing up the same dogshite.. how many people lifes have FF destroyed marriages breaking up suicides etc, why dont they address these things. there was a reason for the ira because these same cowardly bastards left the north to fend for themselfs, while they lead their cosy corrupt life away from it all.
Gerry Adams is a murderer. But I know Sinn Fein will do much more than FF. But then again none of the parites are perfect, never will be. I voted Labour.
Fianna Fail gofers and hucksters did what they were told by our EU overlords. The bailout was like wrestling, it didnt happen by accident, it was fixed. After we were bullied into an illegal Lisbon 2 yes vote, they had us where they wanted us. All FF front bench should be tried for treason. The true extent of their duplicity and treachery will be known soon enough.
im no fan of FF but its funny how people have to defend adams because its a FF man accusing him. michael martin has done far more for ireland than adams ever has adams did not contribute to the peace process more so than i did he merely didn't oppose it. i realise martin is a member of the party who were in power when a global recession hit the world but that doesn't change the fact that he's far more intelligent and far better suited to being taoiseach than any of the other candidates their.
to be fair Gerry Adams in the last decade has done much more for this island than michael martin. one has a large role in some of the biggest steps towards peace and co-operation Ireland,both Republic and Northern have ever seen. The other has a large role in the biggest economical crisis this country has ever seen, arguably now a sovereignty problem too since that whole bail out fiasco that i wont even rant about. pencil pushing liars like mr martin should have a little respect for their peers
Innocent till proven guilty Jerry.....Fianna Fail are the fraudsters,just look at the country.You guys should know,your paying for their fuck ups.... ''Guns and crime?????...Yeah i can see he's pretty busy with that alright....He probably goes target practicing every morning too.I wonder how the English never caught him.He must have another double just like him.I here he robbed the banks in the North too.Yeah and he lives a real pimp lifestyle in Belfast with all his bitches.
The problem with people like that previous contributor is that they are sadly deluded, I bet he is one of those core FFers, see's no wrong in what Martin, Cowen and that crowd of gangsters who call themselves our government, when that altar boy talks about reform, it's like the condemned man find's religion, just as he is about to mount the gallows. Give me a break! Martin was in government for close to 14 years, there wasn't a peep about reform then, just getting on the reform bandwagon!
Micheal Martin is typical Fianna Fail to his socks, no shame; having a pop at Gerry Adams the way he did, is below contempt. He talks about fraud, when he was a part of a government which perpetuated the biggest 'leagalized' fraud on the state. I am no fan of Gerry Adams, but at least he wasn't part of a gang of low-life cow-boy's and useless gobshites, who gave themselves humongous bonuses. Martin is a bad joke, that man on Joe Duffy was right yesterday, about how Fianna Fail were thieves
@manicfarmer Gerry Adams is a murdering cunt, Sinn Fein are only in government in the North because FF and SDLP got them there. All SF are good for is robbing banks and shooting gaurds. Down South the only people who support SF are a bunch of scumbags who think their Irish because they wear a Celtic Jersey. Some FF ministers might have got to comfortable and took their eye off the ball, but the there are plenty of decent people in FF and support FF, unlike the scum who support SF.
@thetruth21987 you are one thick ignorant cunt who is living in the past, you know SF would do a better job and you are in denial. I dont know how you can call SF scum when there were 78 FF TDs sitting in the Dàil doing nothing about what their leaders were doing. SF were the only party to try and stand up to them but couldnt do much with only 4 TDs until Doherty joined a few months ago. With Adams now in Dàil and Pearse and 12-13 others to back him up there wont be as much corruption.
@cormac71 Leaving aside the lunatic economic policies of SF for a moment, the drug dealing, robbing post offices and killing innocent civilians is enough to suggest SF are hardly in a position to talk about corruption.
@thetruth21987 the thing is the RA fought for what they thought was best for the country which was a united Ireland (which back then they seemed to the only people who wanted it, all DeValera wanted was glory for himself thats why he split off because Collins was getting too powerful for his liking, perhaps if he never split off and kept working with Collins for a united Ireland end of starting a civil war none of that would have happened) and all FF do is whats best for their own pockets
@thetruth21987 The Lunatic policies of F.F.over the last decades have bankrupted this State and the Banking System,Throwing good money after Bad... and now they want us to rob ourselves. by selling off our State assets to put same into to their Construction BuddiesToxic Bank, How Dysfunctional is that....As S.F. are saying Burn The Bond Holders by a structured Default on those Debts, may not be a bad policy as we will have to Default on same down the road as the Economy deflates for a pastime...
@phoenix1916 ya there was, unfortunately it went from a legitimate attempt to protect people, win civil rights and unite the island to a war of who controlled the drugs.
@phoenix1916 policed? they beat people with two-by-fours with nails in them, they knee-capped people, for going against the IRA. The IRA for the most part were just a bunch of thugs who used the terms "policing" or "freedom fighting" to bull and abuse people. Talking crap? Man get your head out of your arse. A google search of IRA Drug Dealing brought up 850,000 hits.
@AdamR2468 YES UR RGHT THE pOLICE (ruc) DID THIS and more, they also murdered and colluded with loyalists drug dealers, whats the Yank trying to prove by pretending to be a yank, i asked for proof ur... googling well done ye muppet lol!!
@phoenix1916 the IRA did that actually. Who's a yank? I'm Irish born and bred man. I have no doubt I have a better knowledge of Irish history then you do.
@AdamR2468 u cant type it in numbnuts, another republic/muslim hating twat, no wonder u had to flit, stick ur brainwashed bullshit up ur ass, we are Ireland!! 5 times now!
@phoenix1916 I am not now, nor would I ever defend the IRA in Northern Ireland after what they turned in to. You are a fool who can't even put together a reasonable argument. How exactly am I brainwashed?
@phoenix1916 I have read the information on it and have come to that conclusion myself. Besides you have replied to me seven times, and of those seven replies you have asked for facts once. I have told where to go to get the facts if you are too ignorant or lazy to do that then thats your fault. Its not my job to educate you. That responsibility falls to you, and only you. If you want to continue thru this life ignorant then that is up to you, just dont bring us all down to your level.
@AdamR2468 i have just 1 problem with people down here who talk like that about adams and his friends if they were so bad then why do the people who lived amongst them vote them in election after election, and i can only come up with 1 conclusion and that is that people south of the border dont know fuck all about what went on up there apart from what they saw on tv or what southern politions wanted them to know. difference between adams and 1916 rebels probably none
Sock puppets all of them.
Not one of them will ever talk about the biggest crime of all - the debasing of currency, facilitated if not controlled by the crims in the dail.

Great result, all round, RTE will have a great deal of difficulty, lying now.
