He only joined very recently having being elected as an indepedent, if Grealish is depending on Crowe to save him then he should be worried. Also, this poll again completely overstates the likely support for the main name incumbent in O' Cuiv. He will top the poll but not with half a quota of a surplus.

On transfers alone, FG have a better chance of picking them up from FF than the PDs do. but it's true, the Greens are looking more and more like the success story of this election.

Donncha ó hÉallaithe’s assumption about inter-goverment party transfer is just that, an assumption – at least with regard to Galway West. On transfers alone, FG have a better chance of picking them up from FF than the PDs do.
but it’s true, the Greens are looking more and more like the success story of this election.
