Have FF candidates gone into hiding?

WILL the minimalist version of the Fianna Fáil logo on election posters be matched by whispered utterances of the party name when, or indeed if, FF candidates are asked which party they represent when or if they are brave (or silly) enough actually to appear on people’s doorsteps?

Is this a phantom campaign? Their so-low profile to date leads me to wonder if these people actually exist, but presuming they do, it is probably an indication that they finally realise they’ve shot themselves (and us) in the foot.

Minimisation of their party’s identity on posters won’t fool us – it is an insult to the intelligence of the electorate. Even if they are reluctant to indicate which party they stand for, we will be able to figure it all out, if only by default, because candidates from other parties boldly display their allegiance.
