Interesting that Feeney doesn’t point out the most obvious reason: an additional 250k SF voters in a 32C Ireland.
That Michael speech was so cringy
Weird all this united Ireland talk from SF is starting to seem like a pivot away from housing, and what they main general election talking point will be.
The situation of Northern Ireland should not be a priority for the state of the Republic of Ireland.
Unification with Northern Ireland should not be a priority for the state of the Republic of Ireland.
There needs to be literally years of work and research done to pull together a roadmap for how any possible unification procedure would work.
And that needs to be done **before** there can possibly be any vote.
SF are probably in the best position currently to be working on this considering they are the all Ireland party. I haven’t heard anything really from them as to how far through it they are though.
If as a party, they want to be realistically pushing for a vote, they better get the thumb out. A vote without this roadmap would be beyond irresponsible. Brexit levels of irresponsible.
As far as the article goes, does anybody expect FF to have an active policy regarding our brothers and sisters to the north? Is there a reason that they would?
Judging one party based on the priorities of an entirely different party is a weird journalistic tactic. But then making it the headline of the piece to brush over absolutely anything else? Not even subtle.
The North is like the delinquent child nobody wants but someone is responsible for. That’s the truth. Poorest region in the whole of the UK too. Even Westminster is fed up with the politics of the province too.
Fianna Fáil d9nt have any policies for the south either, everything to fit their EU masters.
