the RTB data indicates otherwise
Keep telling yourself that

First line “There are 19 new locations designated as Rent Pressure Zones following a change in the criteria”
If you could post up “the RTB data” you’ve seen indicating that these zones met the 2016 legislation criteria that would be great thanks.
Weird bit of Trumpian cognitive dissonance here.
You’re the one who referenced it. It’s your point so back it up or retract it.
I’ll accept that you don’t have the answer and are just windmilling a bit.

all the data for the requisite period is in those reports. im not going to ladybird it for you
Ivan Yates calling it as plus 60 seats for FF and 40s for FG. Reckons 8 plus for Greens.
FF Green coalition with some independents support looks likely
Didn’t the last opinion poll have FG ahead comfortably enough? I know they’ve had a few fuck ups since then but there’ll hardly be that much of a swing
Only the thickest of bastards would or could vote for FF.

I think it was the handling of Brexit that gave him a bit of a bounce last time but it has been a clusterfuck since. I think people want a change now. 9 years of FG is more than enough for any country. People forget that they engaged in auction politics and criticised FF for not spending enough back before the crash. But seemingly that is the battleground FG will occupy in this election. Stale mudslinging that may have had a place 9 years ago but they have had long enough to do something about it.
They have brought in a great deal of social change but our economy is a precarious one in that it is propped up by Direct foreign investment. The returns of which we cant accurately predict. Our employment figures are at all time record highs from MNC’s at well over 200,000 so it means our politicians need to resort with the begging cap to the likes of Tim Cook etc. Ireland is seen as light touch enough in terms of regulation which is also an added string to our bow when it comes to courting these companies. There is a trickle down then which is benefiting ancillary businesses and with tourist numbers at the 10m mark there is plenty of cash floating around.
However the issues which this govt will fall down on are affordable housing and supply of same, waiting lists in hospitals and trolley crisis, bogus insurance claims and homelessness. These are the deliverables for which they have had no answers to. The extra money floating around in the economy and full employment is attributable to our very competitive and favourable conditions to do business in and many of these factors were in play long before FG came into power.

Now Leo’s gra for Valentine’s day makes sense
The problem arises from the fact that a new register for 2020 will not become valid until 15 February.
But there are thousands of people whose names have been added to this register which currently has only draft status
He’s a serious spoofer in fairness
He tipped up a losing 1/5 shot in the last election
That was a ridiculous bet considering it was a new constituency and it was 1/5. Who did get the highest vote as a matter of interest?
