    For me, it's housing. I would rate O'Broin much more highly than the FG or FF equivalent. There has been progress on more joined up thinking and this needs to progress further. The percentages of public owned housing stock is very low of EU standards and throwing money at HAP to private landlords or hotels and B&B's, is a stick plaster solution. The change in policy emphasis is not going to happen overnight and FG had made a start, but this needs to accelerate.

    The fragmentation in voting preference is simply a result of more and more people refusing to say 'til death do us part' to FF or FG. They'll have to up their game to attract voters back and competition is healthy. Should SF prove to be a flop, then they'll suffer. If they prove otherwise then we'll have moved on from civil war politics.

    Based on what exactly? His constant fence sitting for the past decade or however long he's been oppsing everything? Sitting whining in opposition is completely different to actually doing the job and ensuring the economy remains strong so we have the revenue to pay for things. If you think that's going to happen under SF then you're a lot more optimistic than I

    Based on following the Dail Housing committee for quite a while, he did a good job seeking more info from the minister and the department. He clearly gets it and they often agreed with his suggestions.
