    A social house (labour and materials only) will cost 300k on a site you already own?

    How many extra candidates could SF have run?

    Just looking at constituencies with 1 SF candidate. They are sometimes getting 2 quotas.

    If Michael or Leo dont swallow their pride and another election is needed SF will romp a majority.

    Must be decades since Tipperary elected a SF candidate

    The last chap Morris from Nenagh never did well and then quit the party over a bullying claim

    The surge applies to Tipp also it seems. A SF TD in Tipp is mighty unusual :confused:

    He came very close last time. He had a pact with Seamus Healy. Not since 1918(?) though.

    But Brexit is a huge issue and will be ahead of 2020
    In terms of trade and borders, its vital Ireland come out the right side of it. People unfortunately dont realise this in our country. Farms and many businesses need a good Brexit.

    Sadly I see this even in my own family. Especially those in the public service. There’s an illusion money grows on trees and should always just be there to spend. Economic literacy very low on the Irish IQ

    FG and their acolytes can only double down. They have nothing else.

    Unfortunately, it appears both Eoghan Murphy and Simon Harris will retain their seats.

    Was Dessie Ellis' gang singing that. Mortifying. Looks as if the surge in populist nationalism worldwide has infected Ireland. This is the same phenomenon that spawned Trump and Brexit.

    It's much less about nationalism I think and much more about a protest vote. If SF had a realistic chance of making it into government on their own then their vote would have been much more considered.
    It's a protest vote. Take note FFG!

    Why? People vote for who they like. Lowry topping the polls in Tipp makes no sense to people outside Tipp.

    RTE acting shocked that Varadkar cannot bring in a running mate

    It was exactly the same in 2016

    If you are new and Varadkars running mate with little profile you have zero chance

    Bertie Ahern could do it and other leaders but it doesn’t happen in Dublin West

    She's pretty much unknown in Dublin West, and I think she's an attempt at another political dynasty which people don't want these days.

    Not necessarily a bad thing, two lightening rods who will not be allowed to forget their ministerial legacies.

    Considering the high % of people who said health was an issue, it's fairly bizzare.

    Healy-Raes on 36% of the vote in Kerry. Lowry top in Tipp. Willie O'Dea on 20% in Limerick.

    Shyters and gombeen politics is alive and well in Munster.

    That’s very condescending
    You might change your opinion if a loved one was in need of a vital health service and the only person helping was a Healy Rae or O’Dea or Lowry.

    It's hardly cryptic.

    The 2 biggest issues on the door were health and housing.

    They failed miserably at both.

    Michael Noonan was fond of showing his loathing of the IQ of the Irish people. That kind of attitude has stuck to FG and is not very different in FF. Sending his budget to Germany for approval before the rest of the Irish government saw it. Continue with this attitude at your peril.

    And yet every other party has signed up to the same health plan, Slaintcare, so any of them claiming they will be the ones to fix it are lying through their teeth
