At the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party meeting reps heard FF are actually doing better than polling suggests. TDs report that Senator Ned O’Sullivan said he was concerned that Sinn Fein had infiltrated Red C polling. O’Sullivan would not “confirm or deny” claim when approached.

They live in a different world to the rest of us.
Gerry Adams snuck into the Red C offices under orders of the Army Council and hacked into the mainframe to upload the dodgy poll numbers to the cloudspace.
“The election was rigged” – Ned O’Sullivan 2024
Oh to have the blind arrogance of a Fianna Failer.
They will be in for a shock come 2025. I would only expect FG to come out holding or even gaining in the next GE from the three parties in power.
FF are destined to be a small party at roughly 10-15 seats. Will still be a bargaining chip for future partnerships but Martin is likely to be the last FF leader to lead the country.
SF will do quite well, FG will hold or grow (a bit). Greens will drop half their seats regardless of what happens between now and 2025
Ya, but Ned O’Sullivan is a total moron who [barely even shows up to work anyway](https://www.kildarestreet.com/search/?pid=292&pop=1)
This is utter bollix
FF and independents have traditionally preformed better than polling suggests while FG have preformed worse.
But its hilarious to suggest that Red C has being infiltrated. Other pollsters have sinn Fein even higher than it.
I’m not an SF supporter but even I know this is absolute shite to appease the FF members.
This is the political equivalent of putting your hands over your ears and going “lalalalalalalala”.
“Am I an out of touch moron in a moronic out of touch party??”
“No! It’s the Shinners who are infiltrating the poll companies!”
This is the same lad who still champions Eoghan Harris, and says a United Ireland is “cloud cuckoo land” (The Republican Party my hole).
He’s a one man advert for abolishing the Seanad.
I mean, what would even be the benefit of infiltrating Red C? Does he not realise that Red C doesn’t decide who actually wins the election? Surely, if you were rigging an opinion poll, you’d make your party look like it’s performing less well so that your opponents don’t consider you a threat and your supporters put the effort in to turn up and actually vote.
While the bit about SF infiltrating Red C is bonkers in recent elections FF have done much better than their polling numbers suggest. It’s like there are a lot of people out there that are willing to vote for them, but won’t admit it.
