RTÉ website this morning
FF didn’t win 38 seats… they won 37 @ #GE2020 The 38th seat is a constitutional gift to the previous FF ‘Ceann Comhairle’… Shinners outpolled FF by over 50 thousand plus votes to boot! https://t.co/ZCYJ7ydBh4

Don’t be so pendantic

No fan of FF but the numbers are what they are, regardless of how they are made up. If it had gone to, say the greens (for example), would there still be a fuss? I doubt it.
Agreed, he was returned in a 4 seater and was the only FFer elected there with a second FF candidate missing out on the final count
+1
If the pettiness doesn’t end soon we’ll need more than a saucer of milk, but a trough :)
sure pat kenny had the DUP on this morning, subtly yet firmly denouncing everything sinn fein related.
there are bottoms of barrels, and then there’s pat kenny.
Do FF have one more seat than SF or do they not? This is not spin, they have edged SF and there is nothing wrong with this wording unless you are butt-hurt petty SF shill who seems obsessed with saying they won they election when the facts show that not even a quarter of the population voted for their thuggish populists BS.
Down the Ra!!
One effin’ effer was returned automatically. So the same amount of effin’ effers and SFers got elected. Technically a draw.
Although it does matter
it doesn’t really
Sean Comhairle got reelected in Kildare South in 2011 there when FF were hyper Toxic, and lost 35 seats
and had no bother in 2016 either
I don’t think he’s have lost out this time either as he would have attracted transfers from everyone
Disclosure Item btw, he’s a pal and colleague of mine, but neither of us would be the kinda to try and fool ourselves about anything
he had some weird friends, did sean o’fearghaill

Friends – come on
thats beneath you Scottser
and it was Sean who brought in the Gardai the moment stuff came to light
which is exactly what I would do – and actually have done in my own roles down through the years
ah, i know v – no reflection obvs.
it’s just with some of these lads, one hand washes the other.
Not in this case
the best example of an “outside the tent” FFer I know
What’s your point, scottser?
up the ra, rob :)
How about from now on we just go
Up the Ska
Proper tinny shed stuff now
None of that Yankee fake Sean Kingston MTV playlist family values nicely nicey nice guff
Didnt FF come from the original Ra? I rest my case
What’s you point? – this post is about adding up seats
Is ‘Up the Rebels’ acceptable?
Always (◠‿◕)
they could vote in a different CC
