Kenny rounds on former leader over FF support

[Tiernanator]

The IRA may not be carrying out armed action but there are familys who cannot bury their dead because SF/IRA still have the bodies

That from a supporter of a party that let hunger and thirst strikers die. Your worse than the blueshirts because you pretend to be republican. Your the children of Dev alright.

[Tiernanator]

Don't care about FG in the Dublin MEP race. Mitchell will get in.

It's the Shinners we're contending with.

Ryan's attendance record vs. MLM's is a reasonable argument to vote for him.

Anything that gives hope to Biffo and the rest of his corrupt gang is bad for Ireland and the Irish people. Give them no hope vote tactically and send this shower of scum a message they won't forget. To all SF voters I say vote SF then left, then FG. Don't let FF have any hope after the election.

[Tiernanator]

You hate FF, we get it.

I've nothing against FG personally. I think they're perfectly adequate.

MLM like the rest of SF don't care about the EU. I want my MEPs to believe in the EU.

Typical doublespeak from FF. Sinn Féin believe in a fair, democratic socially focussed EU. We don't believe that it should only be for cronies of government ministers. That is the big difference thankfully between us and your scummy party.

I think Ryan has been a decent MEP, he has certainly done a better job than Mary Lou.

[Lloyd-Apjohn]

I think Ryan has been a decent MEP, he has certainly done a better job than Mary Lou.

How exactly has he?

[dmc444]

How exactly has he?

Well lets start off in 2005, When Mary Lou opposed the McCartney family coming to Europe seeking justice for Robert McCartney. When all other Irish parties support them.

Lets look at work in the parliament- Attendence- Ryan-83.2% MLM has not displayed her attendence.

Resolutions- Ryan-91 MLM-20

MLM has drafted one report in five years.

Heres the killer, MLM is not running for Europe she is running for the next GE and that is all she cares about.

I would rather have Joe Higgins in as an MEP than MLM.

[Rocky]

On this issue, I think I'm going to give my number 3 to Joe Higgins as the lesser of three evils (Mitchell obviously gets 1 and De Rossa 2) and from talking to other FGers I don't think I will be alone in doing that.

Recent polls show that Higgins is in with a chance and if he can get ahead of McDonald he could get elected.
