Not exactly a hot take.
Sinn Féin need to whether they’re courting the far right vote or not. They can’t be left and right at the same time.
Commonsense at last ….. commiting violent crime shouldn’t be used as a license to stay here like it is now
Seems that this wanting to have the cake and eating it.
If we are deporting someone for crimes committed, why are we taking them in the first place? For example, if we’re taking in a refugee whose life is in danger, how could we send them back? Surely we’d try them and have them serve punishment here. If they can be deported back and not have their life in danger, why would we take them in?
Of course it’s different for non refugees. However it’s very easy to make blanket statements about something that isn’t so simple. SF is just playing to the crowd.
Why are they saying consider, it’s already allowed by the law.

Sinn Fein need to get off the fence
JFC it was not so long ago they were bending over backwards to house every foreigner off the boats here thinking they could scoop up all their votes
SF have somehow managed to get into an argument with themselves.
Sf let themselves down with their fence sitting. It’s the same with drug policy.
How have we got to a state where this makes a headline

They lost their fat, baldy armchair Republican supporter to the far right vote. Now they are trying to win him back.
Consider they wont even say they should be deported
I wonder what the PBP view on this is? Do I even need to ask. Greens and labour too.
>McDonald said that Kerrane’s view was “common sense”, but differed with her party’s integration spokesperson and said that it should only be considered for a “serious violent offence” and “not for misdemeanors or petty crime”.
Isn’t this already the law?
What is the story supposed to be here? Literally no major political party disagrees with this.
This is precisely why Harris called the election, SF hasn’t learned a thing since the locals in June and have no clue whether they’re coming or going on major issues like immigration. If I didn’t hate his guts I’d nearly call this a clever move by him, sit back and watch Sinn Féin set themselves on fire again
> Equal before the law
> Different punishments for the same crime
Choose one.
Sinn Fein getting desperate coming up to the election.
They were stuck between a rock and a hard place. A large chunk of their voter base abandoned them when we seen increased asylum numbers and opening of new accommodation centres. They are forced now to either chase the anti-immigrant vote or lose potential seats to independents.
It’s kind of funny/disapointing. The asylum issue has divided the opposition between Sinn Fein, random independents and wierd nationalist partys. While FF/FG who arguably contributed the most to creating the issue have lost no support. Instead by dividing the opposition it has more or less guaranteed their victory in the next election.
Jesus the amount of comments here that didn’t even read the article…
Will ye read it before commenting, Christ I just want a TLDR so I don’t have to read it…
This already happens. So I assume the article goes on to say good on Fianna Fáil who brought in the law. How lovely of her. I’m glad it’s such a cordial campaign so far
And for people with a criminal history not to be allowed into this country as well, vast majority will support this common sense approach
