Seems the people that actually had Haughey as Taoiseach can do without reliving the experience. But sad to see almost a quarter of the youngs answer "yes".

Weird a/o swop in the headline.

"These are men and women who are going to have the opportunity to go to work and that means getting on the employment ladder, being able to buy the car, the boyfriend, the girlfriend, buy the boots or whatever. Live a life, as it were."

Enda Kenny, 2015

government sets target of full employment by 2018!

Enda thinks human trafficking is something to do with weekend parking in Castlebar.

Not particularly surprising (people make assumptions about single/unmarried politicians, even relatively young ones), but this exchange was amusing -

There had been enough hints dropped in the media about his "unmarried" status being a complicating factor in the undeclared leadership race between himself and Coveney, I suppose. Although Oliver Callan, who frequently has gone close to the bone on these kinds of "well-known secrets", steered clear of it.

I think the effect on Labour's remaining middle-class secularist support might be devastating: all those barristers and NGO executives in Ranelagh and Killiney being able to vote "progressively" for a gay Taoiseach and get higher-rate tax cuts into the bargain. Too tempting.

And it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.

Note: I only saw this on twitter. So I have no idea whether it's even a spoof or not but...

RedC for Paddy Power:

FG 26 (+2)
Ind/Oth 25 (-2)
SF 21 (-)
FF 17 (-1)
Lab 9 (+2)
GP 2 (-1)

Lucinda launches the new party. Name is Renua Ireland - sounds like the result of a really crap focus group, to be honest, but also is meant to evoke Ré Nua (New Era in Irish).

Renua's third TD not quite ready for primetime.

Behaviour & Attitudes for the Sunday Times (after some industrial-scale adjustments):

FG 27 (+3)
Ind/Oth 23 (-6)
SF 19 (-3)
FF 18 (-)
Lab 9 (+4)
GP 3 (+2)

Looking forward to them hopefully losing the unloseable Carlow-Kilkenny by-election to some crackpot independent again.

If we take it at face value, yes. I would generally put more trust in MRBI than RedC, though, and SF at only 17 strikes me as being "off".
