And we were saying there's going to be no talk now of this at the Ardèche because Sinn Féin are very good at kind of, you know,
pulling up the shutters behind them and saying, no, no, no, it's fine, like it's grand and nothing to see here.
So and speaking to TDs and speaking to members yesterday, they were saying that there is no threat to Mary Lou.
But they were rattled by that piece by Jen, which I have no doubt in my mind that there are cohorts that are saying this because there's cohorts within
Every party.
But I think what was remarkable is you don't have Sinn Féin members and politicians briefing against their leader.
So that piece was remarkable in and of itself.
But it's just one of a few remarkable things.
So what was, I guess, kind of leading up before I get into the Ardash, the other remarkable thing is Mary Lee MacDonald not getting her preferred candidate on the Dublin Central by-election ticket.
That was interesting in and of itself.
At the Ardash, I mean, I've been to a few Sinn Féin Ardash and at this stage, on the Friday evening, there was quite a heated debate about fox hunting.
And, you know, there was some parts of the party that were saying that,
They had this kind of big, long, winding motion about, you know, you know, it's traditional rural pursuit and, you know, in the times of Coo Cullen.
And then you had another cohort of the party who were really pushing back against that narrative.
And in the end, the kind of another emotion in the Clore, which was kind of looking to ban fox hunting, was the one that was victorious, despite perhaps more senior party party members and TDs.
calling for fox hunting to be continued and it was it was quite a lively debate it was actually it was funny the fire alarm actually went off at one point and the whole place had to be evacuated and coincidentally of course but you know there was and you had delegates getting up on stage and there's one guy in particular who said that he had registered as a delegate when he went to turn up to the Ardash and he had trouble getting his delegates pass he was trying to be given a members pass which would obviously preclude him from voting and he was giving out about that up on the stage you had another fox hunt
Yeah, it kind of calmed down after that.
The only one other contentious issue, and again, remarkable, really, is that the Arc Corlea, which is, you know, the Sinn Féin kind of governing body, had put forward a motion, which I would have backed this one, that you only have an Ardèche every second year.
And that created absolute pandemonium.
And there was people getting really annoyed about that.
