    FF strenuously said in early 2020 they wouldn't go into government with FG. How did that work out?

    FF will go in with whoever the electoral maths say they need to go in with.

    FG haven't have been responsible for the period of the loosest ever immigration policy in Irish history. Thats every reason to think they won't implement a tough asylum policy, because their actions in power speak far louder than claims in a manifesto that they'll easily ignore.

    2024 is going to be the year of the highest numbers of asylum seekers accepted into Ireland in recorded history. The figures are very clear - FG are not "making strides", unless you think letting in tens of thousands of asylum seekers a year is "making strides". Its a proven track record of utter failure of immigration control.

    You draw reference to the previous FG policy only.

    The new manifesto is stricter and we will probably find out if they can action it over the next 5 yrs, as they are likely to return to govt.

    I wouldnt put any faith in SF improving matters anyway.

    A little thing called covid came around

    SF who "won" the election as they claimed ran for the hills

    FG had already said thye would go into opposition

    SF had no intention of creating a government as they didnt want to govern during covid. They met the Green Party before anyone else and then disappeared

    SO what FF said prior to the election when out the window when the entire country was in lockdown.

    what FF said prior to the election when out the window when the entire country was in lockdown.

    Would have had to anyway, government could only be formed on the numbers by two out of three from FG, FF & SF. Once FF decisively closed the door on SF government had to be FFG in some shape or form…
