This is the first time there will be a General Election on a Saturday since 1918
We topped the poll that day, let’s do it again!

This afternoon.
Leinster House, Dublin 2.
Sinn Féin President Mary Lou McDonald (top centre) talking to the media on the start of General Election 2020.
Meanwhile….
A wee announcement:
I will be asking the people of Cavan Monagan to elect me to the Dáil.
This election is an opportunity to end the rip-off of Irish families and the neglect of our communities by Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael.
It’s time for change – it’s time for Sinn Féin! pic.twitter.com/pHG3dnbLhS— Matt Carthy MEP (@mattcarthy) January 14, 2020
Meanwhile…
This afternoon.
Labour Party HQ, Aungier Street, Dublin 2
Labour Party Leader Brendan Howlin (centre) and Director of Elections Ivana Bacik (left) speaking to the about the forthcoming General Election.
Carty has literally just been elected as an MEP. That’s absolutely ludicrous that he should be elected to one and then run for the other less than a year later
SF are but a boil on the FF cheek of the FF/FG arse
Hon’ Mattie
And a stroke I flagged meself
Using Matt to win two elections
His EU one will now go to his sub
And he might just bring in a running mate there in Cavan Monaghan – Caomhain’s own core vote plus his own wider appeal
Love it
He’s going to be a great addition to the Dáil
I’d say RTÉ are already sweating – poor Miriam
That horse is on double yellows
(and those goons are in colour)
…call the tans…
Ivana B aTD
Not
Director of Elections Ivana Bacik? She’s never won an openly contested election in her life!
I know
But shur’ did ye see who they’re running in Kildare
It’s like Brendan and Joan only want lads around them that they’ve known since the 80
Like Stagg hasn’t a hope
So you’d think they run out someone under 50
