I've never voted. Is it worth it or are they all just a different flavour of useless and self serving
It is for me a lot harder to differentiate between our top 2 than it is in other countires.
I got FF first and Aontú second 
No idea what I've done to get that, maybe I should have boosted some and not skipped some. Exclusively voted SD every time I've voted, and usually get them every time I do one of these things.

And the nice thing about our political system is that you can place every other candidate ahead of those you least like.
I would imagine the same surge in migration and asylum seekers can be seen to various extents across Europe, given it's a Europe-wide issue.
I thought our influx of asylum seekers was generally much worse because of the shit the Tories pulled in the UK, but I could be wrong.
We’ve also taken (rightly) a lot more Ukrainians per capita than a lot of countries.

Looks like another FFG government. I'd like to vote against them but not a fan of Sinn Fein at the best of times and being in a coalition with one isn't attractive enough to get my vote. So i guess i'm voting for a coalition partner somewhere between Greens, Social Democrats and Labour. Feels an easy enough choice to me to be honest.
Public transport has improved drastically around me in recent years, Offshore wind power has been a win and while i dont particularly like how other things like the bottle return scheme have been implemented I'm very glad they have been implemented. The 8 billion fine for failing on carbon neutrality feels a good reason even leaving everything else aside. So im voting green top of the ticket. I dont really rate the social democrats and labour lost my support a long time ago and haven't done anything to change my mind.
