I don’t see that being a problem for SF somehow.

Well that’s true, what even is their idealology

cycled by the far right protest today in Coolock

A lot of cars beeping support for them (2 in 10 maybe)

This sentiment will hit SF hard

we love immigrants mate

Mark Henry on X: “Irish people are amongst the most positive in Europe about immigration. Three-quarters of us believe that immigrants contribute a lot to our country. Only Denmark, Luxembourg & Sweden are more positive. New @ESRIDublin study https://t.co/1gylIRCjwz https://t.co/PAy5b023a6” / X (twitter.com)

Colm O’Dwyer on X: ““More than 73 % of Irish people reported feeling positive about immigration, while 3/4 of people agree Ireland should help migrants seeking protection, regardless of whether they come from Ukraine or are asylum seekers” (ESRI research) https://t.co/J5Vk4MPkbc” / X (twitter.com)

The Healy Raes need to decide if they will stick with two or run a third. If they managed it right they’d get three in no bother

That’s mad success really from them. Very few parties can get 3 TDs in one constituency

[Biff_Egan]

They had a free hooley at the Gleneagle to celebrate 50 years in politics. That will have cemented power for another few decades

I’d say if you ran a Healy Rae in West Limerick or West Cork they’d win too

Parts of West Limerick were annexed by Kerry about 20 years ago only for them to redraw the borders again. Entitles us to celebrate Kerry All Ireland wins imho

They’d romp home in Klare too kid. Anti vaxxers and all sorts in the door.

Remember that Eddie Murphy film, where he had the same name as the outgoing senator and just pretended he was him.

I’d say if you just changed your surname to Collins you’d have a far stab at election in West Limerick

Yeah i see SF losing a lot of the working class vote who want to be anti establishment. SF have meekly opposed a lot of what this government have put forward without much of an alternative. People see that they wont be any different. A lot of those voter will go to Aontu and the far right partys

[gaillimhmick]

Will Aontù be able to scale up their candidate base to capitalise though?

I stayed in Mr Collerans B&B once with my folks, a fierce nice man. Not unlike Mr Kenny who did the state an amount of service and tidied up a substantial mess less behind by FF and dubbbbaluns Burrrrrrty

Enda did fuck all. Sure they wouldn’t let him speak for a finish because he kept putting his foot in it. The Silent Taoiseach.

Bertie would have been proud of tbat grubby stunt at the Leix tractor draw last week.

[myboyblue]

Bertie wouldnt be fit to raise half a million, he had to beg for it.

Enda saved the country from the FF shenannigans with Burty up trees in da narthside and presenting the premiership. I’d say hes fair sick he fucked his run for the Aras.

Are you trying to get me to stand up for Bertie here? You could be waiting a while. As the last few years have shown there was never any difference between FFG . 2 x cheeks of the same smelly, corrupt hole.

The mask slipped there briefly, nice save. You used your vote well. Burty served dubalin gah well too.
