This post will consider what might happen our current constituency configurations if a 156 seat tally was agreed on for
the next Dail.
Not exact matches
The three seat Roscommon - Galway, with an average of 1,115.3 km2 territory per
Dail seat, and the four seat Sligo - Leitrim, with an average of 1,085.2 km2 territory per council seat, have the
next highest levels.
These polls obviously add another chapter to the litany of bad news stories for the Labour Party, with this analysis suggesting that the party would struggle to retain
Dail representation after the
next general election should support levels at that contest exactly match the party / grouping support levels measured by this poll.
As the third largest party in the
Dail, Sinn Fein is in pole position to form a coalition with either Fianna Fail or Fine Gael if the electoral arithmetic stacks up following the
next Irish general election.
