Tony Gregory? He could either way in truth. All depends on what he is offered. There again, it is believed this would be his last election so he might decide to stick with his likeminded colleagues like Healy and Murphy.

Simon, Seamus Healy and Catherine Murphy are hardly likely to vote for Bertie either.

You can’t really draw any conclusions from the 1% fall in PD support coming so soon after the Red C poll placing them on 4%. Red C use telephone polling which is supposedly more accurate. The exit-poll in 2002 placed PD support on 3.1% and they got 4% – conclusion: margin of error means what it says on the tin. Nonetheless there is one fairly consistent trend from these polls – 1-2% gap between FF-PD and FG-Lab-Green Rainbow. In that context I believe we are headed for a minority govt propped up by Indos.

Bad news for the Greens. The numbers from earlier polls (particularly RedC’s Dublin numbers for them) appear to be wilting already. Is this a case of people starting to decide which Government they want and then which party in that Government? We’re certainly seeing a flight in this poll from the smaller parties to the bigger ones.

Fine Gael/Lab have a lot to do. Especailly as a lot of the indo’s are in fianna fails court. and only I would guess jerry crowley, finian mcgragh (who might lose a seat) and michael lowry in fine gael/lab
