A sometimes jaundiced, but always informed commentary on today's Irish politics from Derek Mooney, an experienced campaigner, former ministerial adviser and now a public affairs consultant.

    It's political maths - 23% of 50% isn't the same as 23% of 65%

    It's political maths - 23% of 50% isn't the same as 23% of 65%

    In this episode I look at how pleased Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are pleased by each securing 23% of the votes of those who showed up… but point out that this is not necessarily a sign of greater things to come. That said, Fianna Fáil should celebrate its cohort of new Cllrs.

    My Local and Euros checklist revisited

    My Local and Euros checklist revisited

    I look my elections checklist and see how the results stack up against it. I see the predictions I got right (a few) and the ones I got wrong... and why. I also comment on the current petulant row over newspaper polling.



    There will be another podcast soon, looking at the Fianna Fáil Local and European results in more detail.

    Eve of Local and Euro Counts Checklist

    Eve of Local and Euro Counts Checklist

    In this (short) episode I offer my checklist of what to watch out for as the ballot boxes are opened this week-end:

    1. Watch the Limerick Mayoral Result

    2. Compare party results with GE2020, not LE2019

    3. The SF vote total is important, but don't allow FF or FG to use that to deflect from their results

    4. See who emerges as the biggest party or faction in local govt - how far will FF slide?

    5. Don't see this an inflection point... but it may give hints as to how close we are to one?

    These are not mid-term elections... they're end term

    These are not mid-term elections... they're end term

    There are no election predictions in this podcast as many voters have yet to decide - instead I focus on what to watch out for as we enter the last week of campaigning. I look at how party leaders will try to manage expectations, especially around seat losses and failed gains... but above all I stress that this is NOT a mid term election - the next general election is 9 months away, at most, and could be called within 4 or 5 months.

    Irish Defence Policy from Debate, Not Caprice

    Irish Defence Policy from Debate, Not Caprice

    In this episode I return to a topic I have discussed many times - Irish Defence. Though there are some signs that things may be about to improve, the pace is no where near fast enough as the Minister responsible is more pre-occupied with positioning and messaging, than on tackling the real problems. There is also an article to accompany this podcast.

    So many words... Martin and Harris Árd Fheis speeches

    So many words... Martin and Harris Árd Fheis speeches

    In this episode I analyze and examine the recent Árd Fheis speeches of Tánaiste Micheál Martin TD and [now] Taoiseach Simon Harris TD... and am not overly impressed by either, as pieces of political communications.

    There is a text version to accompany this podcast
