Shouldn’t take you long :)

Labour has crapped on Connollys grave. no member of the Labour Party can dare show their face around my neighbourhood again. They are the biggest traitors of them all. They got voted in on a socialist mandate, and they gave two fingers up to the very people who voted them in tonight.

Fianna Fáil were also for it.

Heres a link to where TDs sit in reference to electronic voting..

Brendan going by the graphic i think you will find FF supported SF.Always knew FG had no interest in the common man but know Labour have cast off any pretense of representing the common people,they seem to have forgotten what happened to the green party.Chances are the 700k who have not paid won’t forget.

With 46 votes for the bill and going by seating positioning in the vote results image above, looks like Fianna Fail must have voted for it. But I would have thought that was unlikley for that crowd. But thats what it looks like from the information provided above.

Brendan I believe Fianna Fail supported the Sinn Féin bill although I didn’t see too many of them in the chamber. I watched the debate and was sickened by the Labour TD’s attitude and demeanour. nnThis bill was always going to be defeated but what it has highlighted is how the Labour Party should give up the ghost and just join the Fine Gael party. It’s their only hope of being reelected. No red, not even pink. They’re true blueshirts now.

Were you in the Dail for the Vote Reada?

LOL Ann. No. I’d have been arrested for sure. :-DnI was watching it on UPC Channel 801. Sad. I know. ;)

Oh thanks for that bit of info I didnt know about channel 801. Gonna be glued to it from here on in – lol.

That comment sounds both sinister and threatening. Mister this is a democracy whether you like it or not and there are places for you if you seriously dislike such a proposition. Syria and Cuba come immediately to mind.

Oh I believe you’re correct Norman and Réada. Thanks for pointing that out.

@Reada I did see the debate and the vote. There were very few there for the debate but the place filled up just before the vote. Where you see the red and green dots its who was there to vote and the blue is who didn’t vote or who wasn’t there to vote.

43 absentees – hardly a full house.

Excellent comment – just keep telling people to break the law! Does nobody realise we are broke as a nation. The only problem with this law is it should have been introduced 10years ago to quell the number of new homes purchased.

Bear in mind that the government parties merely turned out enough people to vote it down.

Ditto to that … Well done folks :)

Cal, off the point but I have a question for you, I asked in another post on a different news story, maybe you didn’t see it. In a lot of your posts you refer to FG as FFg and I’m wondering what does that mean. It might be obvious but I don’t know and curiosity has got the better of me :-)

Cal is implying that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are essentially the same, much as the Unionists used to refer to Sinn Féin/IRA.

Spot on Brendan, the only difference being, the IRA no longer exist. Unfortunately, FFg/FF still do. Financial Terrorism is alive and well in the 26 counties :(

The IRA may be gone but the tee shirt still remains :)

I have seen you questioned regarding your links to the British UKIP party yet have not seen your responses. Could you clarify please?

Hi – Under the radar – Yes, someone brought the subject of UKIP up as a comment on sli-nios-fearr.com website, and of course I went and looked them up to find out what they were about. Having been in Ireland for so long had never heard of them! I’ve only become a protester recently this year having seen how the past two governments treated it people ! ! ! Regarding Europe, the E.U has opened opportunities for Ireland and closed a few as well. But it is the Euro zone that has been the questionable aspect of late – see the ‘positional’ page of sli-nios- fearr.com for more details. Sorry no conspiracies on the go here – just a movement for common-sense reform and welcome change!

Stop spamming your party and it’s policies in every comments section, Martin.

Why do you not like someone talking about a new party Wolfgang? It’s what Ireland needs, I will never vote for any of the current parties again so it’s great to see ordinary people taking the initiative to get something going, we need change, ff/fg and the rest are not going to bring change, they think their job is to keep things the way they are.

Thanks for the tip undertheradra, that UKIP party sound very interesting in this video on their website, it’s nice to hear politicians talking the truth, that Gomes is a nasty piece of word.
