@fintancox Comparing 90s Ireland. Maybe looking those coming down from the north too should also be raised. FIFA and UEFA are firmly showing lack of leadership. We need the points and The Association are making the right decision
@Oismur I have to say, their opinion is somewhat shocking. Comparing murders, minority of right wing invaders to as all were "fuel protecters". Do they very research anything or out on the job into communities to understand and then question or challenge the "narrative" and spin.
SDLPs Claire Hanna says we must look after our neighbours.
Let’s talk about the children on our own doorstep.
• 6,000+ homeless children in Belfast
• 28% of Belfast children growing up in poverty
• 36%+ of children in parts of North Belfast living in low-income households
• 8 of the 10 most deprived wards in Northern Ireland are in Belfast
• Tens of thousands of families in housing stress
• 55,000+ emergency food parcels provided for children across NI
Belfast has been a “City of Sanctuary” since 2022.
But where is the sanctuary for these children?
If looking after your neighbours means anything, it starts at home.
How can you claim the moral high ground on caring for other people’s children when you’re failing the children you’re elected and paid to represent?
You and your party blatantly ignore that compassion has to be balanced with compassion and the people have had enough of the false virtue.
@OCowzer Well its going ahead, unfortunate situation for the FAI. Left to deal with a dreadful situation and risk of a security mess in our city with the potential for NI loyalists using the situation to their advantage. Decision for 6pts and saving our city the pain of hosting correct
