As you said, about time. That time SF collapsed Stormont for three years, they got full pay for the duration.

Earl pushing the loyalist version of events again I see.

Sinn Fein did NOT collapse Stormont for three years.
They collapsed Stormont for a year because unionists continuously reneged from honouring deals they'd previously made, including Acht Na Gaeilge, and the Renewable Heat scandal where the DUP were heavily implicated. Eventually, after about a year, there was an agreement reached whereby SF agreed to go back into Stormont and DUP would honour all the deals. But then the DUP leadership went and consulted with Loyalist paramilitaries to get their imprimatur on the deal and when instructed by Loyalists like Dee Stitt, the DUP backed out of the agreement to return.

SF collapsed Stormont for a year, and the DUP/Loyalists were responsible for it not getting back up for a further two years.

Nope not pushing any narrative, unlike you I only deal in facts
Machine Marty resigned in Jan 2017, SF refused to nominate a successor.
Stormont resumed in Jan 2020, they got full pay for 3 years as I said.

Says it all really how the private sector in this country is carrying it and all the leeches in the civil and public service.

Just as well they did not include for those employed in the civil and public service because of they did we would be way down that list.

I presume most here are in the private sector. How do they manage to post so much during the working day? Are they considered wasters for wasting their employers time when they are supposed to be working? When do they actually work?

So many questions. So few answers.

The government parties must be very desperate to get back into goverment with the possibility of a voting pact. Is this option better with their grassroots than merging? Are we destined for another 100 years of FF/FG in government or do we foresee a day when SF get into government? Can't see it happening anytime soon.

They could but will need to convince all left leaning parties and Indos to come on board!! By all accounts, this did not go well last time out with likes of Shortall baulking, not to mind likes of Richboy, Paul Murphy, etc who are not going to give up their cozy gig of shouting from the side lines!!

At some stage, either FF or FG will go in with them, albeit maybe under younger leadership not so linked to Adams and the army council. DOL here in Cork a good operator. If Shinners prepared to look beyond Dublin and border areas for a leader, he'd be more acceptable to FFG and to voters.
