no by -elections now ,general election during world cup
Brennan would have a decent case to be put forward again in Dublin for FF. He could have the argument "I was here for you last time, and I'm here this time, my area, my city etc etc" He'd have more chance than any other FFer against whatever FG throw in there. I'd still stick cash on FG to take it though, but by an obviously smaller majority and a much smaller turnout.

Donegal: I called it for FG on another thread but now I'm not so sure. I could actually see FF winning this one, believe it or not. Or SF. Or FG. It's a question of transfers. SF and FG hate each other, but the voters might have other ideas, who knows.
When I see the candidates I'll have a better idea.
If there is a future, it will be Green.

Meaning they'll be there like hold on and we'll have them both togethter. Not before summer. Maybe wait and have them with the Dublin Mayoral election.

I've decoded that and it makes sense. Thanks.
Your point on Donegal is kind of damaged by your belief that there's going to be a 8500 person swing to Labour in Dublin South. That's patently ridiculous.
