Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Gets across the point that we are not protesting against expansion but rather the kind of EU that is being built.
These comments from Mr. Doolan are very welcome indeed, but the main problem with Sinn Fein is that their representatives in Dublin often appear to be in a completely different party to those 100 miles north of the capital in Belfast.
Slightly paritionist a situation surely for, as they keep reminding us, the only all-Ireland party on the island (not counting of course the Socialist Party, the SWP, the Greens, the Workers Party, Republican Sinn Fein, the Communist Party or the IRSP).
Can you really picture Councillor Joe O'Donnell from the Short Strand area of east Belfast say anything even closely resembling "we're simply opposed to a Europe written on terms dictated by big business and corporate lobbyists". Probably not.
Also, the Shinners have the habit of trying to be all things to all people: anti-capitalist (sort of) in Dublin, traditional republicans in North Kerry and South Armagh, sectarian street fighters in Belfast, anti-imperialists in the Basque country and dollar-obsessed leprechauns in Boston and New York.
Ands thats not forgetting the fact that their candidate in the upcoming European Election in the north is Bairbre de Bruin, the lady at least partly responsible for the loss of Omagh hospital. Hospital closures? Is this the sort of Europe comrade Doolan is favour of marching for on May 1st?
With a track record like that could really trust SF to hold firm on anything? I know I wouldn't.
Sure how would you know what Cllr O'Donnell might say? Did you ever meet him? Just the usual tired old shite."Yeah, what that SHinner said is grand but what about?"
Terry is right. There isn't a hope in hell of him saying anything other than "You lot threw 26 rocks at us last night and we only threw 23 at ye, so there is no parity of esteem here"
