They already have the motion passed in Belfast, lots more tabled

Sinn Fein have already tabled a motion in Belfast and it was passed. Newry/

They still can’t accept motions passed by the National Parliament as evidenced by their incitement of citizens to break the law in respect of the Household Charge. Any so called Motion by them before a Local Authority is merely a stunt for which they will have no statutorily responsibility and accountability. In the same way they assist in the levy of property taxes or rates in the North while they incite others to break the law in the Republic by not paying a lawfully imposed tax. This Party is dishonest and shoddy in their behaviour. They are a threat to a civilised society.

LGBT people do not want free love, far from it, we want the right to enter into committed, monogamous relationships, recognised and protected by the state.
I myself have reservations about Sinn Fein but give credit where credit is due.

As JFK said. “When you make peaceful change impossible, you make violent change inevitable. “

Your right william you are all entitled to your views, you are all irish living in Ireland. Your opinions may be different to others. That is the point on discussion.

The Orange Order are a pack of Hypocrites. The north will never move forward with idiots like them in the way.

Have a look at their online shop and you will see that they are very much living in the past. The idea that Sinn Fein are leading the way in progressive thought in this country is utter bollocks.
I hope this motion is carried by the way.

They have a history they’re proud of, but they aren’t tabling motions on Pádraig Pearse or Laois-made Bodhrán’s they are tabling motions on real issues facing this country including equality & bank debt. That’s not living in the past.

They abstained on a vote on abortion at Donegal County Council.
Cowardly bastards,saying one thing nationally and another locally.
No different from the other parties.

Barry, they don’t support abortion on demand.

Criticism is all well and good but they never “said one thing and did the other” because they have never came out in support of abortion. Your comment is blatantly untrue and misrepresentation of the real facts.

They were however the only other party in the Dáil to back the ULA proposal to allow a legal framework for abortion where a women’s life is at risk.

Another case of people shooting their mouth off without knowning the full facts.

Its perfectly within its remit to ask central government for changes to national law that would be to the benefit of its residents.

You are wrong in your assumption, We have civil partnership for same sex couples but we still dont have marriage equality

Civil partnership doesn’t carry the same rights and protections as marriage, nowhere near in fact.

Would you care to explain why it’s wrong, because just repeating that homosexuality and marriage quality is wrong over and over again ad nauseum doesn’t make it wrong either.
Can you actually show how this would harm you or your family because most of use can only see how this would help protect some families that currently are quite vulnerable.

I don’t get how 2 men can be attracted to each other, sorry, i just don’t but that is the thing, it happens, that is who they are. just because I don’t get it, not my problem. I’ve enough of my own. If Oliver and Mark want to live together as a couple, and a publicly declared one, be happy, respect each other, then best of look to them.

Why have a problem with people who are prob. good decent skins. Let them have their own worries and you, yours. It is hard enough to be a good person in this world, never mind worrying about others.

Indeed, and why are councillers involved in this at all. Supporting the redesignation of this cornerstone of society is beyond thier remit. Insane.
