Sinn Fein support in Ireland leaps to 25 percent - poll

We need a party of the people for the people. Career politicians have destroyed the system with their greed.

yes the so called labour the party of the working people will go like the dodo larkin would turn in his grave at the antics of these tratiors like joe costello and his wife mr and mrs right wing and gilmore ex d.l. what a shower party of the people my a*r*e

Law should be passed that only gives natural resources to private companies on licences till they make a profit of say 200% and then give it back to the state, and maybe still run it at a profit with excess money going back to the people, or the state develop it them self’s. Look at Brazil they only give 20% of the oil they drill to the private company that drill for it with 80% of the money going to its rightful owners the people. But in Ireland they give everything away. Every penny you spend goes straight out of the state like shopping except Dunnes stores, phone calls, media, and now the government want to add to this list water charges, health, wind farms energy. Like how is this country every going to have another Celtic Tiger if we own nothing? The rich get super rich and the working class get enslaved on low wages high prices? The tide has to turn who is going to get us out of this mess that our current government is digging us into. In one town in particular over half of the 20 to 30 year old group has moved out and most will never come back that is worse than the Great hunger!

selling state assets, our government ministers privately own Germane bonds, private health care, ect, it is in their personal interest to sell of the peoples assets’ to multinational companies so they can buy into and make a profit for ever more amen, to the detriment of the people

Sinn Fein have made the gains they have because the other parties have lied to us so many times and basically treated us like fools, while protecting there friends in high places.I really really hope they don't break that trust that is now being placed in them.

I stated that Sinn Fein are not the political representatives of the IRA. This paramilitary organisation put itself into liquidation. Now do you mind telling me why you removed this post?

Looks like theres a major shift to either left wing or right wing nothing in the middle like Labour who run with the hair and hunt with the hounds.

I think a lot of people see sinn fein now as the only truly Irish party,who would`nt sell of state assets to the extent kenny and his crooks are about to do,people feel they would protect our heritage and culture,and they would`nt be so generous with dole payments and child benefit payments to non nationals,they might give the eastern Europeans the same deal as there own government would give them, dole for 3 months if you leave your job or,dole for 6 mths if you are sack or let go,and the same child benefit that there own country would give them,there might not be too many them that would want to stay around then,sinn fein would also stand up to europe a lot better than kenny and his cronies,and would`nt take everything they would dole out to us,thats why i feel sinn fein will grow in popularity,and thats coming from someone who voted for fine gael in the last 2 elections,to try and make sure fianna fail did not get in.

No to extremism? Darren what planet do you live on? We have it in bucket loads already. Extreme poverty, extreme hopelessness, extreme anger, shall I continue? I would never have considered voting Sinn Fein before, but I now count myself as one of the 25%

Wake up people! politicians are all the same. Politicians are all about power at any cost. The ones who make it to the top of the polical parties are the ones most power driven and also the best at decieving others with intelligent communication. They do not care about the people who they are supposed to work for, only their own image and standing matters. Remind you, social welfare only exists so that those people will vote and keep in power.
They take over half your work in vat and income tax for little in return. WAKE UP PEOPLE!

We have no other choice, Sinn Fein are the only party with balls! The rest have sold us out!

L is for LABOUR L is for Lice a lice is a creature that can walk 12 feet across a room and change there political ideas they will suck on the blood of anything to allow it to exist they change they color like Chameleon lizards depending on there environment this is how they survive amazing creature don't you think .

It's a shame there is no coherent socialist alternative in the UK. Real freedom stems from people having control and influence over their day-to-day lives; in the workplace, in communities - not under corporate slavery! You have an altertanive - Embrace it!

They are so popular as they have a solution to all our economic woes! And the solution is .................................................................................................................................................................................................................!

Hope they dont turn out like labour party broken promises, hope they dont start that anti british rubbish people are bored of it.

That Enda Kenny's the right mincher.

Its not surprising we are looking for a new government, the greed and corruption of the old parties has sickened us. Im not SF but we need change.

People will whinge and moan about the established parties but come voting time Enda will be back in the Dáil. Irish people are afraid to be decisive and we've shown that in nearly every election. We're like a giant Milgrim experiment. We just go with what we're told without question. Sinn Féin, unfortunately, won't get in because people have some warped RTÉ idea that they are some Dr. Evil organisation trying to take over the world. We need decisive leadership at this time and who better than Gerry Adams? A man who negotiated peace with one of the worlds super powers. Who was a British MP, an Irish TD and a member of Stormont. Is there any other leader in the world with such credentials? And you vote for Enda Kenny over that? The mind boggles..

Look stop moaning and sitting on the fence.. it's either Sinn Fein and have a voice and hope for the future!! or keep voting in the other traitors with they're empty promises, and have no voice and our culture and Country ruined and run by the EU... Enda Kenny is not the voice of the Irish people and his signature holds no merit it aint worth p.iss because Ireland belongs to the IRISH !!.. To Europe I say,you dont have our signature and we will not be bullied... Éirinn go Brách

There's no freedom of speech here, that's for sure!

Good for Sinn Fein,I believe that so long as they continue to show Fine Gael and their poodles for what they are lackies of the germans and the french,they will continue to garner support from ordinary people who have been thrown to the wolves by the blueshirts,and their pet poodles while their cronies in the banks still walk free and our people die on trollys to pay the debts of their cronies.
