Most worryingly for Fianna Fáil and Fianna Gael is the drop in support amongst young people:
Fine Gael polling at 11% for 18-24-year-olds
Sinn Féin polling at 44%
Fianna Fáil polling at 9% for 25-34-year-olds
Sinn Féin polling at 43%
It’s not a big shock to find that young people are p*ssed off at being priced out of their own country and unable to buy a house.
I help to manage Slugger by taking care of the site as well as running our live events. My background is in business, marketing and IT. My politics tend towards middle-of-the-road pragmatism, I am not a member of any political party. Oddly for a member of the Slugger team, I am not that interested in daily politics, preferring to write about big ideas in society. When not stuck in front of a screen, I am a parkrun Run Director.
