I thought Dry January had affected my eyesight

#GE24 Independent predicting FF 46 seats, SF 40, FG 38, independents 25, SD 9, Labour 9 & PBPS 5.

This would be a particularly good result for Labour who were tipped by many to only get 1 seat. SD did very well too. Disaster for the Greens though.

Yeah it’s a much larger poll though -5000 people I think - so it should be reasonably accurate. It’s also of people who have actually voted. Between SF and FG it’s probably a toss up but FF are fair bit behind. Here’s how seat nos would look on those figures

Today’s IPSOS poll in the Irish Times also indicated which issues will have most influence on who people vote for in the Irish general election on Friday.

The cost of living is it seems the most important issue for voters followed by house prices followed by health.

And, just like that, all of those awful barriers seem to have been removed from the banks of the Grand Canal in Dublin
