This result worries me greatly. The Soldiers of Destiny who degenerated into soldiers of fortune after an inadvisable 15 years in power in the 26, (presiding over the virtual bankrupting of the state). Seems to have been forgotten by a conspicuously historically amnesiac electorate. Either 21% of Irish are ideologically illiterate, or politically dyslectic. Worse still, they may even be mascochistic. Sometimes I despair at my fellow countrymen. And this is one of those times. Is it not evident after 90 years of autonomous misadventure that neither shade of political greyness can deliver the national goods. Alas! Hungry peasant farmer stock swell the ranks of the Irish body politic, who personally over compensate for a famine syndrome during their five year terms of office. Palmerston got it right. "Power corrupts. And absolute power corrups absolutely!" A majority electorate with a proclivity towards ethical autism, exploited by mé féiners with long fingers and short memories. The trouble with retro Ireland is that religion was politics, and politics is religion. And some actually believe them still. Solution: Votes for diaspora asap!

So 21% would root for the cowardly, self-serving Soldiers of Infamy; the party which ruined this country, signed away an off-shore gasfield for nothing, helped introduce gas-fracking to Ireland.. Therefore, 21% of Irish are terminally stupid Paddies..?

Could it be because people have seen SF in the North cave in to the welfare reforms they could have blocked but didn`t.
