Isn't this what FF have been doing for 13 years?

My point is that the days of Bertie Ahern's giveaway budgets and buying the votes of the unemployed with increases in benefits that far outstripped inflation, are over.

Ireland needs fiscal conservatism now more than ever. We need to balance our books asap and not burden our children with our debt. We simply cannot balance the books without reducing further our social welfare payments and public sector pay.

We need to make Ireland an attractive, competitive place to do business once again.

If I wasn't denied a vote for leaving Ireland to work abroad, I would vote FG 1, 2 and no other preferences. I believe Ireland needs a strong single party government.

do you understand what social policy means ?

Its got very little to do with Social welfare !

one definition
Social policy primarily refers to guidelines and interventions for the changing, maintenance or creation of living conditions that are conducive to human welfare.

Wexford FG 1,2,3 for me, my family, my girlfrend, my friends, my coworkers.

Still won't stop Mick Wallace or Brendan Howlin getting in, again, but have to try!

edit: No Labour/SF/Indo's/FF on my ballot paper.

Here, on facebook and around town outside of my friends/family, all I'm hearing is SF/Indos/Labour - so why do FG have such a majority in the polls, are the FG'ers hiding, or are people lying?

I don't know. but if this thread is anyway an indication of what is happening around this country, there will be a bucket of gained seats for the Labour party and SF, and many of the Independents candidates!

The Majority of individuals posting to this thread, have put Labour as their first choice with Independent or Sinn Fein been second or third choice. But as FG have more candidates then any of the other parties and likely to get a good share of the electorate vote, they'll be in the next Irish Government,

Lab 1,2,4
IND 3 & 5-15

No votes for FF, FG, GP, Behan, Kelly or Flanagan for various reasons. No vote for the Greens thanks in part to threads on here looking for #1 preferences so their office can stay open and also because the local candidate put posters up in my estate, a private development and had to be cajoled into removing them, and I'm still unsure if it was him who eventually removed them. I suspect it was the residents' committee though.

Paddypower have moved the odds on outcomes throughout the day with the leading bookmaker now offering the shortest odds on FG achieving a seat tally of 81 or more. If this turns out to be accurate it is almost certain that Enda Kenny’s party will govern without Labour.

My only problem with Labour is the tie in with the Unions, but then who better to negotiate with them?

No 2 -
Independent (ex labour) A woman who has shown she is willing to stand up to the political system.
