Independents set to join Fine Gael as big winners in Kingdom

THIS Kerry South constituency poll, conducted by RED C for the Irish Examiner, confirms the national trends which point to gains for both Independent candidates and Fine Gael at the next election.

It is the Independent candidates that dominate voting, but due to the number of candidates this may end up with them canceling each other out.

Instead, the data suggests Fine Gael, having also seen gains in first preference, are the big winners in the constituency potentially securing two seats.
