Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9May I take this opportunity to congratulate the Sinn Féin members in Dunlaoighre on their choice of an excellent candidate. Eoin offers working people in Dunlaoighre an alternative voice in the forthcoming Dail elections.
Eoin from what I have read is one of the most eloquent and hard working off policital activists on the Left, who garners great respect across all parties and campaign groups.
He was most vocal in campaigns against discrimination, poverty and exclusion during his time on Belfast City Council, as a representative for North Belfast and at a time which saw the turbulent days of the Holy Cross dispute in his constituency.
I have no doubt that some day he will make an excellent choice as Minister for Foreign Affairs for his party.
That forthcoming book sounds pretty interesting. Any more specifics on the publication date - is it gonna be spring, summer, winter? Gonna be available in shops over here?
It does seem a bit funny now, two Marxists running for election in DL, but there's plenty of working-class areas in that constituency along with the big houses.
Eoin O'Broin, while a perfectly intelligent and capable candidate, is hardly a marxist or gift to the left or the working class, he is, in a word, a waffler!
That's not meant personally - but politically, he can talk all the talk about the left and socialism etc. But does he mean it? Listen to the man - he doesn't at all. He has new Sinn Fein written all over him, with a very thin veneer of leftish rhetoric.
He would indeed make a very capable Minister for Foreign Affairs - he'd sit comfortably with Blair and Bush, or Brown and Clinton or whoever. He would doe the deals he "had to do", because he was being "p-p-p-p-p-p-practical", and then come home and use his rhetoric to explain to everyone he got the best deal he could, blah blah blah.
Mark my words!
I've heard members of SF refer to O'Broin and Justin Moran as "Marxists", but apparently the man himself doesn't. "Waffleholic" may prove to be right in the long run, but I'd still be curious to have a look at that book - you don't get too much of SF actually spelling out what their strategy is and what kind of socialism they believe in, Adams is usually vague and comes out with platitudes
Would be interested to know how both the above posters can feel so comfortable in their fairly ignorant assumptions about the sincerity or otherwise of Eoin O'Broin?
I suppose both of them must have done more work for the cause of socialism than he has? I suppose they too publish a socialist magazine, actively champion the cause of oppressed peoples and have spent more than the last decade of their lives working full time in working class areas for little remuneration.
You can address your remarks to "Waffleholic", but not me. I didn't express a view about O'Broin's sincerity (never met the bloke so can't really say). "Waffleholic" may turn out to be right about him, or he may not, we'll see in time. Since you're obviously an admirer of his, can you answer my question about his book - I'm genuinely interested.
Sinn Fein members are so used to telling lies that they dont seem to mind who knows anymore. Eoin grew up in an exclusive housing estate beside Foxrock village in South County Dublin. In and of itself this does not matter but why must sf lie and lie and lie and........
actually Leopardstown. And I grew up near by & its not exclusive I can assure you.
he'll just enter the bureaucratic mess of the "democracy" weve been given and disappear in a sea of unaccountability and the status-quo-
