Hard to believe 16% of irish people are stupid enough to vote for them but here we are

Sinn Fein may struggle to keep the high polling numbers.
The Monk and Dowdall trial may have caused a slight dent but very few of their supporters are naïve enough not to be aware of the links to criminality many of their members will have.

The bigger problem is that up till now Sinn Fein have been the umbrella party for the disaffected. But now as we see a greater break out into the far left, far right politics like in other countries, they can't be all things to all men.
The recent protests against migrants have exposed how flag shagger, Irish "patriots" are very much at odds with the open door migration ideals of the woke Sinn Fein leadership. There were chants against the party in the East Wall and Drimnagh protests.

Remember when Gemma O'Doherty and Sinn Fein were best friends. When it was anti-water charges and anti-corruption, Sinn Fein were happy. Now the loons are anti-vaccine and anti-foreigner.

Sinn Fein, Social Democrats, People before profit have been seriously undermined in poorer electoral area by Far right groups. Most of their community meetings, protests and social events have been disrupted and in most cases destroyed. The Far right groups have hammered the hammer in regards the lefts relevant voice of the poorer in society.

I dunno. The right wing groups are funded by the rich and tend to be single issue with no solutions to the issues that working class people are worried about.
SF is more like a Government in exile.

It's since 2019 & it's his own company I'm guessing, or at least a partner in it

If a populist right wing party emerged and started campaigning on slogans like social housing for locals first, caps on immigration etc there would have to be some sort of impact on Sinn Fein.
It's no accident that the government are shipping migrants in to Sinn Fein strongholds and pitting them against the locals who see them as competition for resources.

Our local Sinn Féin councilor (always very popular with the locals) came out strongly, calling Ballagh a dumping ground for refugees. Looks like SF HQ made him delete his post, however.
