I don’t have a huge amount to add here, I just wanted to say how admirable it is that you have taken the time to do this. It’s crazy that Fianna F�il should try to stop anyone from reading their public information, and it’s good that the interweb has the Sin�ads needed to put things to rights.

Did they really think that blocking David would work? Did they think that they were sending him to some virtual Coventry where we would all ignore him? Did they actually think or is there anyone in Fianna Failure capable of thinking?

Apparently they’ve also blocked @Paul__Duggan Who has suggested to me it was because he was @ replying them criticisms. Bad form.

They really should drop the fada and go by the name Fianna FAIL. Maybe change the green to red too, with flashing red lights and an accompanying siren. I still can’t believe 1/5 of the population support these muppets.

Blocking people? Seriously? They might as well nuke their account.

I’ve not had any political party block me but I have had someone claim that reading their public twitter account and commenting to others about it constituted harassing them. They went private for a while in a blaze of outrage after which they farcically claimed this reading had a political dimension before retracting that claim (when it was shown up to be baseless nonsense) in a very mealy mouthed fashion. And all this from a person that would claim some element of knowledge in this area and who is lauded as a leading light of the new media elite. So FF are really only playing catch up with some folks.
