Simon Harris had until March to go to the polls, but has been paving the way for an earlier election since a €10.5-billion giveaway budget that began hitting voters’ wallets this month
Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris says the campaign should be about who can 'credibly' increase housing supply, oversee a fair but firm immigration system, and prepare for a potential transatlantic trade shock from Donald Trump’s election as U.S. president.campaign, hoping to retain his coalition’s lead in polls and to capitalize on a slide in support for the opposition Sinn Fein.
The left-wing Sinn Fein’s ambition to prevent an unprecedented fourth successive term for Harris’ Fine Gael looked probable a year ago, but its support has collapsed over the last year and been further hit by a string of internal controversies. “Dependent on being able to spend that money is being able to generate it, keep jobs, keep investment and show leadership at an EU level.”
Speaking to supporters late on Thursday, Sinn Fein lawmakers said it was naive to write the party off as they sought to turn the focus to voter frustration over unaffordable housing costs and strained state services.
