All the big Sinn Féin and PBP people are privately educated, which always amuses me.
To be fair to Paul Murphy though, someone on Twitter was trying to say he couldn't be a socialist because he went to a private school and he responded with "Karl Marx went to a private school," which is a pretty good comeback.
Lynn's partner was and also I was exaggeratingMaybe in Dublin. I don't think Pearse Doherty or Lynn Boylan were privately educated.

Bit of black mark against PBP for me when they refused to stand for Zelensky's speech in the dail.
I know the point they were making....but it annoyed me.
Me personally? No idea, I don't really know anything about them except no one I knew went to them. I do get the impression it's a bit of a different vibe out in the sticks. Would value insight from anyone who knows about these things.
Hilarious if these lads were paying 5 thousand a year or whatever to look like this:
Family tradition, and like I said above, it might be a no-brainer for some parents financially and being more time-rich as an added bonus. There were a few rich Meath farmers' kids, but a lot of them were from average income households. They were mostly from Meath. Such fucking tribal wankers. Let me ask my buddy how much he paid between 97 and 2002 to board.just did a quick google; st finian's is listed (currently) as non-fee paying, non private; but the last boarder finished there in 2007. begs the question why you'd send your kid to a non-private boarding school? family tradition? that was the case with a lot of the lads who were boarders where i went to school.
All the hot girls went to Wilson's... it was a lot more expensive, private and fancy than Finian's.Wilson's hospital produces a rather poor quality of chap. Children of prod of farmers with money, bad rugby players, played soccer during Michaelmas AND Hilary terms.
Paschal fixed a mahoosive drainage problem for me outside the houseAnyway, Robert Troy helped get me the welfare when I came back from Japan.
Ahem.
I've been voting for SF since the get-goI don't know who to vote for anymore. I would be interested to see what Sinn Fein would do if they got into power. What they have been preaching over the years Vs the financial reality of running a country.
Although im not interested enough to actually vote for them.
Yeah, Troy like Donie Cassidy before him is a classic FF gombeenman... but he actually can get shit done. "Good local politician" etc.Paschal fixed a mahoosive drainage problem for me outside the house
No one else could/would help
Not even Mary Lou
Actually Kitty Holland of the Irish Times was a big support, but she had no actual pull
The best bit about it is when anyone in the family slags Paschal, I get to yell "HE FIXED THE ROAD!"
Still vote SD Green and Shinner though, obv

I listened to thati haven't listened to it, but my wife was saying she enjoyed blindboy's recent podcast where he discussed troy; that FFG are subtly reframing the whole notion of property ownership; an example given was that robert troy describes himself as 'a young person' on his website; he's 40, he's hardly 'young' but their use of language has shifted to remove the expectation that you could have (or would want) stable accomodation.
