Image: PA Image: PA SINN FÉIN HAS criticised Northern Ireland’s health minister Robin Swann for “unilaterally” requesting help from the British army in tackling the Covid-19 crisis.
These are known as ‘Nightingale’ facilities, which are the UK’s temporary healthcare centres to deal with a surge in coronavirus cases.A Sinn Féin spokesperson said that the party’s objection is not to the request for help. Sinn Féin’s leader in the North, Michelle O’Neill said: “I have been informed that the Minister for Health Robin Swann has unilaterally and without consultation with Executive colleagues requested limited assistance from the British Army.
In times of national crisis you need to use all the resources available to the state. The British military has excellent logistics. SF would want to cop on.
Please leave the passed in the passed for the moment and fight this virus 🦠 war. We will get back to normal but we all have to stick together to fight this horrible virus.
We are a progressive country not living in the past. People’s lives at stake. Grow up sinnfeinireland
Operation boomerang again from the Shinners
SinnFein you are a joke
Who cares, help is help you twit!!
So is this the BS that people voted for SF/IRA showing their true colours when the government are fighting for the lives of the Irish. These idiots could not run a pi$$ up in a brewery
So unlike SF to disagree 🤔
Why not proactively request military assistance from south UUP/Robin Swann has proved amenable to?
Sinn Fein/PIRA hypocrites...
They ain't coming armed.. its help at this difficult time.
I give up with sf stance. Move on lads. They won't be arriving in armoured cars this tim.All help is required to defeat this virud
It was not a unilateral request. All parties support it..... except Sinn Fein. Has this ever happened before? ....and still SF can't comprehend why no one in the Free State wants to go into coalition with them. 🙄
....WOW,, we really are so far off 'UNITY'!!! Imagine suggesting asking the Irish Army for help,,,there would be uproar,, even though we all live on th same island and it might help save lives!!! They won't b happy until they brings us back to armed struggle!!! whatEXECUITVE
sinnfeinireland grasping at another cheap headline. Everyone needs to put the shoulder to the wheel, not hurle on the ditch. Complete schoolyard antics.
