Election Daily: will undecideds lend Sinn Féin their vote?

Election Daily: will undecideds lend Sinn Féin their vote?

INSIDE POLITICS LIVE SHOW WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 11TH - DUBLIN. TICKETS HERE


Harry McGee and Jennifer Bray join Hugh for a look at today's events on the campaign trail.


  • Sinn Féin's leasehold policy has been criticised by other parties, at times with little concrete justification. But has the party itself done enough to clarify how workable the scheme is?


  • In the closing stages of this campaign, plenty of focus remains on the question of what parties say they would do in the event of an economic downturn.


  • Sinn Féin finance spokesman Pearse Doherty asked voters to consider lending his party their vote, arguing that Sinn Féin TDs stood a better chance of changing the country than independents.


  • Roderic O'Gorman engaged in his own version of Project Fear by invoking the spectre of Minister for the Environment Mattie McGrath. Could these anti-independent messages make an impact before Friday?
