People have very short memories. Unfortunately

Just like clockwork, the merry-go-round continues. The brain dead Irish continue to punish themselves for crimes that they think might have been committed by their ancestors..... or, they’re simply masochists! 😂 Insanity GroundhogDay Pathetic

People obviously desire more misery failure and debt as is the Fianna Fáil way. Sinn Féin up by 6 points. Sounds like a brain hemorrhage style event. Who are these pollsters and what are they on? Or off?

What a country when the choice is essentially between the FG fascists and the FF scum that destroyed the economy

In most other countries FF and FG would be the same party, will we ever be rid of that silly divide?

Voters must be finally feeling the benefit of that fateful Summer day when Sinn Féin's economics eggheads singlehandedly repaired the insurance market by asking some hard-hitting maths questions in that Dáil committee.

Who the fuck would vote for Fianna Fail? It's just fails me. They wrecked the place

God bless us, every one

All from Cavan/Fermanagh area!

Is sinnfeinireland bounce back a sign they've attracted new supporters or the loyal one's just didn't like LNBDublin ?
