'If you want Fine Gael out you need to vote for Fianna Fáil'

Fianna Fáil has said that it remains the only credible alternative to Fine Gael as a governing party despite last night’s bombshell poll which showed Sinn Féin is now the most popular party in the country.

At Fianna Fáil HQ in Dublin this morning, ostensibly to address today’s teachers’ strike which has seen close to 400 second level schools across the country over pay inequality, the party’s education spokesman Thomas Byrne said that it is “close to a decade” since any poll had accurately predicted where Fianna Fáil would finish.
