After thinking that he got a scoop to humiliate SF in de paper this morning, he is then thrown egg on his face after Leo’s intervention about ploying similar voting tactics that FG have used on national radio. Social media all over mr Ryan this evening, good enough of him. The journo is rattled to the very core. Never seen as much fawning with FG and such anti sf bashing that this Ryan hack along with Blue Hugh O Connell, Kevin Doyle and Fionnan Sheehan have undertaken for quite some time now. I also thought that pat Kenny was OTT with Eoin O Broin this morning on newstalk. Another right wing journo that needs to be taken to task.

Now Fianna Fáil is saying they "on occasion" used "party members to undertake polling and on those occasions they did pose as market researchers". "This was to supplement private providers also used. This practise was ended around 2007," a spokesperson said.

Is this now a national scandal to them? Doubt it, pretty sure they won't care anymore now that the other parties have done it too. The indo really scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to make negative stories about Sinn Fein
