Fergus Finlay: Polls only suggest a likely election result. Your vote can guarantee it

I canvassed a bit last week and I’ll do a bit more this week. I was out with friends for a friend: Juliet O’Connell, of the Labour Party, who’s running in Dún Laoghaire.

I’m never sure whether knocking on doors helps to inform you or whether it distorts the picture. It is certainly the case that at the start of this election, people were largely indifferent.
