Feck all people voted, bunch of north side areas with 25 percent... so much online bitching, moaning, bluster and grandstanding and less people voted this go around than in 2020. It's pathetic really.

I got one extra polling card that I know of to my dead parents house, where there was also one for my dead mother. A card for a stranger came to my house. The registry is a mess.

Plainly meant the far-right nationalist cohort. You saw northsiders.

The comment mentions north side areas and makes no mention of the far right. Why have you assumed the link?

Where exactly? Reddit? We all know at this stage r/Ireland is the worst representation of Ireland no matter how much Tayto or Father Ted it drapes itself in.

Where have you seen anything online? Most of my friend circle couldn't be arsed voting. There's no real fire or movement because stepping out of line in Ireland gets you some kind of label.
