    Is over 10 Dáil seats for SF pie in the sky

    I have noticed in recent times the party nationally revising downwards their chances of potential gains in the 26 this summer. I have not been as active in the party in recent months as I would like, due to work committments, but I detect a sense that what looked possible 18 months ago i.e between 12-15 seats now looks unlikely.

    This is certainly the view outside of SF. What is the view inside?

    Not a member of SF but I will have a large wager on with the bookies that SF will win 10+ seats.

    I think 9 is a dead cert but 10+ will give value for money.

    12-15 seats is a longer term goal, not for this election, maybe the election after that would that be possible.

    That's right, the discerning people of Waterford only elect public representatives of the highest calibre.
    If there is a future, it will be Green.

    Cullinane is a carrerist, he worked as a storesperson prior to his employment with Sinn Fein, now he lives in aposh middle class estate, far from lisduggan where he previously lived, if you want to move up in the world, increase your earnings get a bigger posher house and a new Peugeot 307, become a sinn fein councillor.
