Sam McBride: Sinn Fein demands storm compensation in Republic but oppose it in NI...this nonsensical stance encapsulates a deep problem
Briefly

The article discusses dissatisfaction among some republicans regarding their party's performance at Stormont, particularly citing incompetence and poor decision-making. A specific point of contention is Sinn Féin's recent decision to seek compensation for electricity loss in the Republic due to Storm Éowyn while denying similar compensation to Northern Irish residents. This stance has drawn criticism, even from within the party, illustrating a departure from solidarity and a focus on partitionism that has raised eyebrows among political observers.
"Even some republicans are dismayed at the reality of what their party is delivering at Stormont. The answer doesn't lie in tribal disputes with the DUP, but in basic - and gaping - incompetence."
"Sinn Féin has this week finalised a policy whereby it is demanding compensation for those in the Republic who lost electricity in Storm Éowyn - while rejecting such compensation for people in Northern Ireland."
