They only got about 4 million in real money. Of which something like 3 has been recovered Actually the 26 million is largely useless as they changed the currency.

In addition there is always the Sinn Fein/Ira pension fund of £26 million from the Northern Bank raid to be drawn on, surely as a leading member of the IRA he would qualify for a stipend from the "Brotherhood" after all he did go to jail for the "cause" 10 years for gun running I believe it was!

I could be wrong but on the ground ferris' vote always seems to be rock solid and quite big. Terry is an excellent candidate for labour as he is from the tralee area, very well known and hugely popular both as ex-mayor and general personality. He has a great chance of outmanouvering FF as they have picked two candidates for NK both from tralee and two competing (often acrimonious) dynasties. Their vote is likely to split quite badly and depending on transfers it is between deenihan, foley and McCellistrim. Lots of discontent with the performance of Mc by the way. Thats only my two cents. Fine Gael arent competing for martin's votes, that competition is really between martin, McCellistrim and O Brien. As I suggested its transfer patterns that will decide who gets in. cant see martin losing his seat, terry is slugging it out with two ff candidates and deenihan for the two seats left.
