As Fine Gael head into opposition, the issue is how bad the losses will be. They’ll be hoping to win a seat in nearly all of the 39 constituencies and get 2 in a handful of the 12 constituencies in which they have 2 plus Cork North West and Rathdown where they’re targeting a second.
They might maybe topple Seamus Healy in Clonmel for a gain but seem to have zero chance in Galway/Roscommon. Sligo/Leitrim, Cork North Central, Dublin South Central & North West and maybe Kildare North is where they’re vulnerable. If they can’t win a seat in Meath West and Wexford, it’s annihilation.
Bobby has his eye on the Foreign Affairs portfolio should FF be in a position to form a Government. No point in having a man of his abilities lounging around in some meaningless Junior ministry.*
Fair enough - the “he got me a passport that time I acted like a prick and forgot to renew” shite” drives me absolutely demented. It results in worker bee fools who are entirely unsuited for the Dail and also dissuades potentially capable candidates as they have no interest in the funeral circuit shit-show
