March 09, 2005 Sinn Féin surge in Meath? That's apparently what the Meath Chronicle is saying in the paper version - there's no mention on the website! Sinn Féin's Joe Reilly is on 14.9%, that's up 5.5% on the previous general election. And welcome Chris to the blogosphere in his own right! oh come on, Sinn Fein are never going to make that big an impact on what was John "the unionist" Brutons seat for so long
Posted by: Rebecca Black A figure without a sample size is meaningless.
Posted by: slug9987 Slug, you are not so quick to comment when the polls are not in Sinn Feins favour. But we will not have to wait long for the real poll, I am sure you will not be quick to comment then either.
Posted by: PaddyCanuck "Slug, you are not so quick to comment when the polls are not in Sinn Feins favour." When was that? The margin of error is 4.7% since the poll was of 500 people. The 'true' SF figure could be a lot higher. Especially as polls traditionally underrepresent SFs vote.
Posted by: slug9987 "Especially as polls traditionally underrepresent SFs vote". - is that always true?
Posted by: Mick Fealty Mick - in NI yes but I don't know about the Republic.
Posted by: slug9987 It is often true in the Republic, not always.
Posted by: PaddyCanuck We will all know the true figure on Saturday
