They've been banging the anti-SF drum hard in recent weeks. Are they overplaying that card, and possibly pushing people the other direction?Another article in the Irish Times making the point that the Shinners tax policy it populist and hypocritical.
because we elect politicians espousing populist policies - who is against lower taxes?And populist and hypocritical policies are exactly what we tend to implement
Overplaying their hand? With their fan-girl Una Mullally writing her puff-pieces for them most weeks? Are you serious?They've been banging the anti-SF drum hard in recent weeks. Are they overplaying that card, and possibly pushing people the other direction?
Yep, and the men in West Belfast know that.because we elect politicians espousing populist policies - who is against lower taxes?
Have you not been reading Brendan's posts lately?because we elect politicians espousing populist policies - who is against lower taxes?
You're not seeing any trend here then?Overplaying their hand? With their fan-girl Una Mullally writing her puff-pieces for them most weeks? Are you serious?
Other journalists are pointing out facts. Una is offering half-baked opinions and conjecture that wouldn't make it past a Transition Year debating society. While she gets to treat us to her 'insights' the Irish Times, the traditional paper of the Smoked-Salmon Socialist, could hardly be accused of not giving oxygen to populist pseudo-socialist drivel.

At some point, Sinn Féin will need to confront its violent past and grapple with 'sorry'
Party has mastered the non-apology but will need to confront its pastwww.irishtimes.com
Excellent point!You raise a good point; maybe Mullally's editor should invite her to reply to the legitimate questions raised in those articles.
Yes, I see people making factual points about facts.You're not seeing any trend here then?

They seem to be mostly opinion pieces, rather than factual. I hadn't read most of them, or Mullally's stuff tbh. As others noted, the Irish Times has lost a lot of trust in recent years.Yes, I see people making factual points about facts.
Una issues press statements on behalf of her party.

But it seemed like a bit of a trend there, working hard to rile up middle class voters or scare them about SF. I'm not sure that it will have the intended effect.
And find another smaller party to take all the flak - maybe the SDs next time around?leave Finn Geal to clean up the mess
Charlie was a crook but he didn’t begged the country the way Bertie did and FG under Fitzgerald were a disaster economically.sinn fein will do what Bertie and Charlie did run the country into judge debt and and line their pockets then go out of government and leave Finn Geal to clean up the mess
