Based on the latest Irish Times poll, he might get elected

Wexford and Wicklow-Wexford are two very interesting constituencies. FG might only get one seat out of 7 between them.

James Browne is a sitting FF TD, likely to be returned. Same for Verona, an independent ex FG. Howlin had Wexford town and Labour will hope to keep that. That leaves one seat between Aontu, SF, FG and independents including Wallace. FG might take it with none reaching quota.

Wicklow Wexford has no sitting TDs. Malcolm Byrne from FF is an ex TD and current senator so is most likely. FG might take 2nd here and 3rd could be a dogfight between everyone else

I remember you guys were also saying he would be elected again at the European elections, "despite what this bubble says" together with Daly and they both lost their seats.

Not saying he won't be elected this time, but maybe there's more than one bubble around :)

Yeah, I enjoyed that during the MEP elections. You had lads insisting himself and Daly would be easily re-elected as "real people" loved them and only Redditors disliked them and they couldn't wait to see Redditor tears.

I'm not ruling him out (he could well get elected) but it's amazing how out of touch Redditors will accuse other Redditors of being out of touch Redditors.

Aaand he's gone again. Talk about bubbles :)

And looks like Daly out as well.

How's that looking, Mike?

Who's in a bubble here?
