    It all depends on the figures of those around him. Ganley being the lesser transfer friendly. (one would assume)

    Will be interesting to see how it is portrayed. Will it be "within reach of a seat" or "up but not enough"? The latter would be disingenuous given the role of transfers in our system.

    I think the SBP were too cautious in their approach.
    I have been led to believe they will. I hope they do, otherwise what is the point in taking the poll in the first place regardless of what it says.

    As for the outlet of releasing it, I honestly don't know and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

    It could be Red C themselves, but there's nothing on their website just now.

    Would he be less transfer friendly than Fianna Fail if hes slogging it out with Pat the Cope for the last seat?

    It's a good question and a difficult one to call but when you take in to account the running mate factor, one would imagine that would tip it in Gallagher's favour.

    Would you ever cop onto yourself. You're suggesting that a couple of people posting on a discussion site has a major national newspaper "under pressure"? You really need to get out more.
    "Elite - a small superior group; esp one that has a power out of proportion to its size." (Oxford English Dictionary)

    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.
