And there will always be that whiff of cordite around them. It is just below the surface always. Well to me it is anyway. They will always have a core support, but it will not reflect most people. Shoo.

Fg need to learn to not be so dismissive of SF or any other parties because they're quite simply not good enough at what they do to warrant such arrogance. And regarding your lol to be quiet honest with you after Maria Bailey fraud gate and the black and tan celebration proposal I'd be more keeping my fg preferences on the hush hush if I was that way inclined.

During the financial crisis they wanted to give two fingers to the ECB about the bondholders when we needed the ECB support. Remember how well that worked out for the Greeks.

And, with Pearse "the Magician" Doherty at the helm, they'll coerce the insurance companies to slash motor insurance rates! And Louise O'Reilly will solve the HSE problems by magically recruiting thousands of nurses from God knows where. Not forgetting that Mary Lou will insist on a Border Poll which, I'm reliably informed, will reunite the country within five years. With visionary and thoroughly credible policies like that, only a fool would refuse to vote for Sinn Féin!

And looking at their performance in opposition and at co council level it’s fairly safe to assume they won’t. Sorry

I think Meehole would be a decent enough taoiseach but I fear that the old guard would come crawling out of the woodwork at the slightest sniff of power. I'd be fearful of voting SF, greens and PBP etc. and the impact not only on my family's pocket but the wider economy. Am I inspired by anyone in this election? Sadly not.

What about FG's appalling record on housing / the homeless whose numbers have exploded since they have been in power ? What about FG's criminal decision to persist with the worlds most expensive hospital on the site of James Hospital? The only reason people will stick with FG is because FG have been lucky enough to have ridden the crest of the burgeoning economic wave that the world has enjoyed since 2011. FG have nothing whatsoever to do with this economic growth, they are purely holding a seat of office.
