working, it seems, when it comes to their vote and how it's turned out.

Oh, absolutely.

And you can see that in the ballots here.

And a national school with Glasnevin or Drumcondra in the title.

And there was no showing for Janice Boylan.

But there was for Daniel Ennis.

And when you look at the parties, Social Democrats, Labour, Sinn Féin, the Green Party, they are all parties of the left.

you would in some ways kind of be digging to figure out what the big differences are between them but certainly Sinn Féin have probably singled themselves out as having differences to those parties to their detriment whereas they could have been kind of looking for that broader swathe of left vote and they've kind of alienated that in some ways and so

That's what you're seeing with Daniel Ennis, a huge amount of support for him in those leafy areas of Glasnevin and Drumcondra.

And as you said, some of the Bertie stronghold.

And even someone was remarking to me here earlier, a Fianna Fáil member, how even Bertie himself, you know, in an effort to get John Stevens

the councillor, first time councillor, but who was a, you know, a member of Bertie's so-called Drum Condor Mafia back in the day.

Getting out, you know, Bertie was getting out his book, you know, or his notes where he would attract what roads he would have done well in.

He was kind of

notorious or very well known for having a really good handle on where he got his number ones and exactly who they were and how many people were living in the house and all that kind of thing.

And he even looked into the archive, I suppose, to find where they could make a difference for Councillor Stevens, but it hasn't materialised.

And actually one Fianna Fáil member remarked to me that Bertie's comments that we know was in the news.

He was recorded on the doorstep talking about migration in very controversial terms.

And they said that that might have actually made Fianna Fáil more toxic.

Absolutely.
