Sinn Fein? They have gone away, you know.

[All of a Sludden]

A new poll published this morning shows a drop in support for Sinn Féin.
According to the Behaviour & Attitudes survey in today's Sunday Times, the party's vote is down three points to 15%.
Satisfaction with their party leader Gerry Adams is also down by 8%.
Satisfaction in the government is up 11%, while Enda Kenny, Micheal Martin and Eamon Gilmore have all seen jumps in their popularity.
It is the first major survey since the release of the Smithwick Tribunal report and it suggests that Sinn Féin's stance on the report has not been popular.
In contrast, it appears the Government has received a positive boost following Ireland's recent exit from the bailout.
Fine Gael remains the most popular party in Ireland, up five points to 30%.
Fianna Fáil are unchanged on 21%, the same level as independents and others, while Labour are also unchanged on 11%.

I think we've passed the economic solstice and while summer is still far away there will be some more light for many people. In this situation FG can only do better.

Disappointing that for the Shinners,but considering the level of attacks on Gerry Adams over past few months(smithwick,Laim Adams case,and the programme on the disappeared) I would say happy enough only down 3%.

Sinn Fein councillors in a drunken brawl on their Xmas do in Belfast City Hall, wrecked the bogs, causing two grand of damage. They must have fell out over how the grant money was getting carved up this year
