Election to be called Fri - predict outcome

If Katie Hannon stated that then I would say the stats would back it up. MLMD was unfortunate in the draw in that she was o the far RHS. While you might think MM and SH had more time the reality is that they were both side by side when one was speaking the other was in camera view, similar with RBB, PT and ROG were in a block together. I taught that Micheal Collinis got little enough time as well buy I imagine sandwiches between two of the poorest contributors did not help

Wasn't as bad as what i thought it would be, although still shite,

The hand wringer RBB did ok. As did PT, but that was no surprise. Nothing really there to change peoples mind i'd have thought.

ROG spoke some nonsense which is par for the course, Harris just isn't a very strong speaker, lacks something, maybe conviction. We all know MM is a strong speaker/debater so again no real shock with him.

It's lucky you're not a woman with a reproductive system, who they could lecture on what you can do with your own body.

First time i have seen prices for my cons, Kildare North and i'm surprised with some of the odds on offer.

5 seater and only James Lawless(FF) would be considered a cert. Riada Cronin is slightly odds on, but honestly, i'm not sure she will be voted back in. I used to walk by her office in Naas every day and it always seem to be deserted, nobody from SF has called to my door. I think she's a goner

Aidan Farrelly(SD) who'll be getting a vote from me is very short in the betting and while he did well in Clane, the FG candidate beat him clearly enough, ALTHOUGH, he should get a lot of the Liexlip vote with Murphy retiring.

Avoid Bill Clear, he resigned from SD when he wasn't put on their ticket. Bookies have him 7/4 but he'll only be popular in Naas

Joe Neville(FG) Durkan(FG) should also win a seat but again no backable at the prices.

That leaves one seat and i think Naoise (FF) has a great chance of winning that seat. Currently priced at 2/1, i'll have a few quid on him.

Which bookies?

Cronin getting re-elected would require there to be a similar protest vote to 2020; which seems unlikely. She's the most useless TD the constituency has ever had, and being useless only seems to work for Durkan.

Ah can we just stop with the bookies this and bookies that. It's been well pointed out how they mean fuk all.

Breezy, i know what they do and don't mean, but what they do offer is potential value to make money if i think they have priced somebody up incorrectly. Which what i think they have with that FF candidate.

Take it to some betting thread then. It's nothing got to do with who will win the election.

I was offering analysis on the constituency Breezy, feel free to ignore : )

Oh for sure! I don't like the man or his party but he can make his point very well

You mean Larry Donnelly is in the minority of one, and as you know Twitter is full of idiots… so comments don't mean anything.

It's still hard to believe Helen McEntee is the Minister for Justice.

And now she's pulling the trick of accusing people of sexism if she's criticised.

You left out FG who want to increase the Help to Buy resulting in pissing away the Apple money to private developers to make them even more rich

'Twitter is full of idiots except my guy who says what I want to believe'. you mean?

Agree we need something to show for the Apple money and infrastructure would be ok, if spent wisely…mid west needs a second hospital, but lets not spend 2.5bn on it…Limerick/Cork motorway still isnt started…i think metrolink to airport is a good idea in dublin, but get that done first, then in later years look at dart/luas extensions…it does seem a lot of parties are rolling this 15bn into tax cuts…also housing plans across the parties are all well and good, but who will build these houses and where will they all live while these houses are being built..
