IT’S JUST UNDER three months since the general election, and now Fianna Fáil has drawn level with Fine Gael in terms of popularity.
A new Red C poll conducted for the Sunday Business Post shows that after an exceptionally close election result Fianna Fáil has bridged the gap between itself and its old foe.

The poll was conducted among 1,000 voters over four days last week.
The full poll results are:

The Astronomical Spring begins on Sunday 20th March.
Green thumbs up if you think Spring begins in February and red thumbs down if you think Spring begins in March.
Spring begins in March!
Who cares?
We don’t have seasons in Ireland. The cold rain just slowly gives way to the warmer rain.
What’s with all the wusses who spend ages laboriously scraping their car windows with a piece of plastic because they’re afraid they’ll make the kettle of water too hot? That’s no way to live.
Always remind me of this:
