    That was 2011 and 2016. It's equally possible people are ashamed to admit vote for FG based on their govt performance in the last 9 years, and SF given historical issues.

    The thing is, our economy is in good shape and pretty much full employment levels, so not a bad state in reality, despite the well publicised social issues.

    IRA stuff doesn't bother me. It's their unrealistic policies that bother me. It seems to be fashionable to vote SF these days, they appeal to the Facebook type outrage dwellers.

    There ought to be some sort of test before some get a vote.

    As a Brit living in Ireland the SF vote reminds me so much of the Brexit vote back in the uk. Neither manifesto remotely adds up and I feel like people know that half of what is promised won’t be close to being delivered but I guess it’s a protest vote. Interestingly lots of young ones on the vote

    .... waits for my first Brits out

    We will bury the bondholders...actually we won't.



    National debt of €42500 per person, yes we have turned the corner right in to a ditch.

    This means Ireland has one of the highest per capita public debt levels in the OECD, the report says, and is also elevated compared to Irish historical standards, leaving the country vulnerable.

    It's a bizarre argument that some people are throwing out. And I really thinks it's because these people are just getting their "facts" from targeted social media and party fliers without stepping outside of this.

    That's possibly what could happen as a means of keeping Sinn féin out of government.

    Confidence and supply again, perhaps?

    Do not underestimate Mickeys desire to be the next Cork Taoiseach and the pressure he’ll be under from his own party to go into gov with SF. FF/SF with health and housing given to SF. That’ll sort them out.

    I know what your saying but I don't think it's a direct comparison. Very different reasons for voting for them.
    It's mad how SF have turned things around for local elections.
