    How will your constituency contribute to a change of government?

    Here in Cork South Central the best hope is that Jerry Buttimer could take a third seat for FG at Fianna Fail's expense.

    It's a big ask as FF have two good TDs who had about 10,000 votes each last time. They could drop a lot and still hold.

    Current FF 2 FG 2 Lab1

    Dun laoghaire - FG gain at FF expense but down to a 4 seater
    South East - FG gain at GP expense

    Here in Donegal NE:
    No change. No chance of FG taking 2/3 or Lab taking 1.
    Possible SF gain from FF I suppose. Is that what FG want?
    If there is a future, it will be Green.

    Seamus Healy will regain a seat from FF, but Tom Hayes won't even attempt to help another FG candidate try to make a gain.. in fact, he did a hell of a job last week shafting what he thought was his biggest rival... methinks however, he actually did it too well, and created an even bigger problem for himself in the long run.. watch out for a young fellow from Tipp called Jimmy O Brien

    I think there is a long list of people in DSE who agree with you

    Your mask is slipping more often these days. Who will you guys be running? Are the rumours true about M McDowell?

    Well I think it goes without saying that Cyprian Brady is dead in the water at this stage in Dublin Central, seat going to Paschal Donadump I'd say.
