Good
FF and FG are gonna have to go in together to save the country. Thats how it will be sold anyway, and a hint of truth in it
Doherty and English both drifted out to 4th favourites in paddy powers two Meath constituency odds.
FF polling 16% in Dublin, same as the Greens. SF to pick up seats in DBS and Dublin West…

SF made huge gains in the under 30 age bracket — as the old allegiances to the civil war parties die out over the next few elections SF will take their rightful place at the top table.
I didn’t read it that way, hard to read anything into it considering the (pardon the pun) machine gun style questioning
Who is chairing the debate tomorrow?
I think they’ve always been against it, but I’m open to correction on that.
He wasn’t that far off last time off a 13.8% national SF vote. A small enough swing would see him home.
9.5 % of the vote and 7th on first prefs. He was a decent way off.
Is there anyway a coalition of left wing can govern ??
