Michéal Martin asked can he live on €230 a week, (She looked like she was about to rip him a new hole).

And he was looking for the nearest emergency exit. You know Kenny might get criticism for not being statesman like but it is in conversations like that he excels, he is a much warmer person one to one. Martin showed his true colours there, not willing to confront the great unwashed.

To be honest I think Gormley, Gilmore & Adams would have all done better than Martin too.

Hard to imagine SF losing a seat given that their percentage support appears likely to almost double. Where is that poll from?

The Paddy Power book is a disgrace. Most constituencies have more candidates odds on than there are seats!

Not really, Labour is getting crushed by Sinn Féin on the Left and by Fine Gael on the right, but probably leaking populist/grandchildren of Dev votes back to Fianna Fáil based on their absolute rubbish performance in the last fortnight.

It is depressing but not amazing.

Is it looking like Labour have managed to win the runners up position in these elections for Fianna Fáil.

Sorry they might win the runners up position for seats, now forming the next goverment is an entirely different question.
