If, like me, you're grappling with all the election bumpf received from candidates in the TCD and NUI Seanad constituencies, this is VERY useful. It presents an overview across a range of issues. It can be really hard to find this information when you're trying to do the research yourself!
It's #ge24 #seanad #seanad25 #seanad24 time (I don't know what we're using yet!) so it's time for the return of the spreadsheet that earned me a coveted special mocking section on Gript last time.

I'll be gathering datapoints on key issues for each candidate.
