Sinn Fein disregard for laws

[Rich OC]

Saw FG putting them up yesterday and have seen others up in Kildare and Carlow.

Must all be trying to bring down the State.

hehe

It was more a question on "What is the status of Sinn Féin's position on the 26 county Republic of Ireland?" and was merely prompted by the posters. At that point they were the only posters on public utility poles I had seen that weren't disguised as a public meeting ad. By yesterday I'd seen plenty illegal around dublin from most parties so that particular point is irrelavant.

I'd still like to know "What is the status of Sinn Féin's position on the 26 county Republic of Ireland?" though.... they once had a stated aim of subverting the state (that is why RTE calls the IRA 'subversives' rather than stronger terms). Is this still Sinn Fein policy? I had assumed they dropped it when Caomhin O'C took up the seat in the Oireachtas

Have you just emerged from a jungle, or deepest Leitrim, after 30 years ?

What is the status of Sinn Féin's position on the 26 county Republic of Ireland?

I know their stated objective at one time was to subvert the state but I had assumed that by taking up their seats in the Oireachtas they had changed this.

I went to West Cork for the long weekend and the place is plastered with Sinn Fein posters even though the laws of the land specifically state that posters cannot be put up until 30 days before the poll (which is wednesday)

Is this disregard for the law or just incompetence by their election workers?
Do the county councils fine parties for this or is the law just lip-service?
I drove back to Dublin tonight and have not seen one other party with a poster up (other than a paid for billboard displaying Eoin Ryan's FG-like ad)

Politics.Ie does not fall under the heading "The relevant authorities"

Run along to the police and see if they dont give you a hiding for being a total tit

They can put up all the posters they like, whenever they like - what good will it do them?

A free state soldier has emerged from a wood in Leitrim, only to find out that the civil war is over, a letter had to be delivered by Nora Owens, a relative of Gen.Michael Collins, to confirm that all military actions had ceased.

The soldier, Thomas Dunne is thinking about returning to the woods outside Carrick on Shannon, as he finds some of the FG members, over the top in the bitterness that they still harbour.
