A lot of non Irish people visiting the North wouldn’t understand our accent anyway, doesn’t mean we are speaking in a different language lol, we all
have different dialects up there just as Ulster Scots is little more than pigeon English.

Really or should you have said Scottish Gaelic is a language and Ulster Scots is a dialect?

For younger people will be issues that may impact upon how people vote in future elections. Younger people don't follow the trend of voting for FF/FG in every election.

It is if party's take polls too seriously but there's a slow significant change happening especially in the West with respect the Galway-Mayo-Roscommon if you take a look at how well SF have done. Traditional voting patterns follow an age demographic. Housing supply, the costs of rents and of living

No, more a case of the older age demographics voting for the familiar in FF/FG and will always do so.

Big positives for SF over in the West with respect to Galway and Mayo.

FF/FG won't build enough homes in the next couple of make an appreciable difference to the under 35 age group. Factor in rent prices and the cost of living. The opposition will continue to grow. It would be foolish for Labour to go into Gov't with these 2 but the lure of better pensions...

It'll be a FF/FG Gov't plus others anyway but the number of houses built plus rent prices in the years ahead might have more telling effect for SF numbers and how Housing impacts on the under 35's.

Quite possibly, looking at Sunday night sometime as you say.

Pete Roche will get the third seat with transfers from Sean Canney primarily. Louis O Hara should have the 4th seat but it'll be a nervous wait with transfers maybe.
