Move on after one minute, folks. You know the drill.
One minute? That's a lot from FF-Lite.

Actually I've never voted Fianna Fail as I always felt they were a 'bunch of weeler dealers'. How right I was!!

I've stuck a sign in my window saying that FF and Green canvassers are not welcome.

It will save me getting an assault conviction.

We have the smart vote.
Unfortunately it might not be big enough to save us all our seats.
Maintenance of the National Roads budget while scrapping upgrades to the Dublin and Cork commuter rail network.

Yeah, the Greens are really doing their job.

Weep, think what the Greens could have done, instead of turning into FF-Lite.
