  1. We had Sinn Fein supporters claiming on Reddit about how fantastic a party they are for protecting the youth of today

    Now we have an article showing how much SF care about protecting the youth of today

  2. This headline would suggest there’s a correlation between sexual misconduct and involvement in the GAA.

    This is deeply unfair, unfounded and I will not stand…oh look, a squirrel!! Look! Quick! Oh, he’s gone.

  3. >Sinn Féin is refusing to say if it informed the GAA that it suspended its former member after receiving a complaint about the text messages

    That is a long way to say no.

    So what are the odds this person has a few glowing references from Sinn Fein?

  4. Fucking hell they’ve really bottled any chance. Dodgy story after dodgy story. Looks like we’ll be resigned to FFG for the foreseeable.

  5. These unvetted males shouldn’t be allowed in our country
    /s

    Incidentally, the association with Sinn Féin is being stretched a bit far here. This guy is a total creep, but you can’t say that SF endorsed or enabled him

  6. > Since leaving Sinn Féin, the ­individual has remained involved in the GAA, as a senior member of a club with underage teams.

    What the fuck?

  7. Can anyone advise if aomeone who has been Garda vetted with an organisation, if the Gardai are informed of something like this, do they notify the organisations that the person was vetted for about potential issues, or is it a case that you have to wait until the person is due to renew their vetting?

    If it’s the latter I can see a gap where people who shouldn’t be around children are allowed to be because their vetting is valid.

  8. It’s actually incredible how SF managed to squander any chance of winning the next election. They had so much support for a while but just couldn’t avoid scandals and shit policy positions. I was a supporter for a while but at this point they’re just a complete joke.

  9. For everyone who mentions Gardaí….. that’s not the policing service involved. It’s the PSNI. Mentioned numerous times in the article.
