Looks like Emmanuel Sweeney is going to top the poll!

[FutureTaoiseach]

Excellent news for Simons.

I wonder if Paddy Power will back this poll and offer odds in line with this poll, dont think so.
This poll is more useless then a Fianna Fáil press release.

Online polls are bollocks. No way to prevent ballot-stuffing.

Yep pure rubbish and nothing else, definitley does not relect the situation in Dublin - Ryan is way more unpopular than that!!

Means nothing.

Online polls are bollocks. No way to prevent ballot-stuffing.

It is ridiculously easy to spoof almost any online poll.

The majority of them is as simple as clearing your cookies and voting again.

Eoin Ryan is still in ha'penny place compared to Pat the Cope who gets a 40% rating. If 40% of people (OK, on a dodgy poll) are not going to even give you any sort of preference, how are you going to get enough No.1's from the remaining 60% to make it in a 3 seater?
