On SOR there, Jesus he would send you to sleep.

On SOR there, Jesus he would send you to sleep.

With Leo's spin machine crashing and burning and MLM failing to gain any traction as leader of SF, we are sleepwalking into Mehole as Taoiseach scenario!
Paddy P have slashed odds in recent weeks and FF 5% ahead of FG in latest poll.

Leo is hoping his new found Green credentials have immediate effect!!
Waiting for a Polar bear to be added to the FG logo!!

FF are showing their green credentials now too, they're eyeing up the Greens as potential coalition partners along with Labour, after the next election.

They were a step ahead of Leo last month with their climate emergency bill before the elections.
I'd say their own polling showed what way the wind was blowing!

A general mood seems to be building amongst people that FG Cabinet is full of young D4 types that have little life experience and are more concerned about how they appear in the media and spending loads of dosh on projects in Dublin. The rest of the country can go and get f...ed.
When was the last major publicly funded project in Cork? Pales into significance when you calculate the big money going into N7, N11, LUAS cross city, LUAS extension, Childrens Hospital, Sport Campus, Grangegorman and more to come with Maternity Hospital, Busconnects, Underground.
Billions and Billions for the overheated, over subsidized Dublin economy. Sick of it and I am not party political. FF are going to wipe the floor with FG at the next election.

For either FF or Fg to be able to form a government with a working majority then Labour need to keep on the road to recovery, if they had 10 seats then with the Greens they could help one of the main parties secure a working majority, some Independents would still be needed though.

I'm completely discounting SF btw here because with their current leadership there is no way any other party could form a coalition involving them. They seem to be happier to languish on the opposition benches in any case.

How Is this chancer still leader. He's ruining a once great party.

Micheál Martin suffers setback in stumbling RTÉ interview

Friday, January 31, 2020 - 09:55 PM

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin has suffered his first significant setback of the General Election following a below-par interview on RTÉ Television.

He said his own staff signed him to introducing an emergency rent freeze as demanded by a charity, even though his own party have said such a move is unconstitutional.

In a television interview on RTÉ, Mr Martin appeared to stumble over a number of answers on the rent freeze issue posed by broadcaster Bryan Dobson.

Mr Martin had previously committed to introducing a rent freeze but has since backed away from it citing legal advice. The Cork South-Central TD said his party will not be exploring the idea of a rent freeze if elected to Government.

During the interview, Mr Martin was quizzed by Mr Dobson about the pledge made to the National Women’s Council of Ireland (NWCI).

It emerged last week that while Mr Martin was among a group of political leaders to back the manifesto, he and his team did not realise one of the commitments contained in it was an “emergency rent freeze”.

“People from headquarters sent that over and that is something that they have dealt with. We are not promising a rent freeze because it is unconstitutional,” he said.

His comments drew an immediate response from Sinn Féin's former President, Gerry Adams, who quipped “shadowy figures,” a reference to criticisms from Mr Martin in recent days as to how Sinn Féin as a party operates.

Mr Martin also struggled to explain a major typo in his party's manifesto over how many houses they intend to build, if elected to office.

The manifesto originally stated the number would be 250,000 over five years, but Mr Martin said the typo "had been explained to journalists" and the real figure was 200,000.
