Party promises “accountability”
“Dangerous, and it is really toxic politics.”
Cairns, like other party leaders (including, this time, Michael Collins) has the disadvantage of being unable to devote herself full-time to the constituency.
Given the lie of the land, everything here favours Fianna Fáil’s chances of picking up an extra seat.
Cavan-Monaghan is going to be a repeat of 2016, with five seats divided between three parties, with one of them losing out on a second.
“Independent Ireland TDs and MEPs will vote in accordance with the party’s policies, as they are the people who developed, negotiated, and adopted said policies”
Independent Ireland Leader Michael Collins TD says his party is ready for a general election, with candidates at the ready. He also addresses the Ciaran Mullooly controversy, and explains how he would avoid being dominated by a bigger party in a coalition government.
The stunning thing here, really, is that the polling consistently now has Sinn Fein on course to lose seats, rather than gain them, at the next election.
Situation “being kept very quiet”.
Mr O’Donoghue also said that Fine Gael has benefited from Simon Harris’s takeover of the party’s leadership.
A unified left, and a right that’s four cats in a bag, clawing at each other.
