Far Right doing badly in Irish Election, despite massive promotion*.

Really useful indication of where the far right are, in terms of % of the first preference in the boxes opened, per constituency. Ireland is bucking the trend of European countries turning to far right.

These will likely have changed by the time most people read them, but give an indication of the state of play this morn.

Have also omitted some candidates in constituencies where no data was available yet.

Labour's latest attack on welfare is a disgraceful assault on the dignity of the sick and disabled.

If the government really wanted to crack down on people "gaming the system", they would go after tax dodgers hoarding our country's wealth.
