How does the voting system work in Ireland? Gavan Reilly explains | General Election 2024 | The Irish Channel

<h2>How does the voting system work in Ireland? </h2> The first political opinion poll of the General Election Campaign has shown a significant portion of voters don’t trust the major parties to deliver on key issues. Almost one-in-four people don’t believe any party has the edge on housing, health, crime or immigration. The Red C poll from the Business Post shows Fine Gael is the most trusted party on the economy, job creation and education. Sinn Féin was given the edge when it comes to housing, while the Green Party is the most trusted on the environment. However, 25% of people believe no party or grouping is best equipped to deal with problems in the health sector. 23% of people think the same for housing, while 27% of people don’t feel that any mainstream party or grouping is best to get a handle on immigration. The major parties are all neck and neck with Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin all within four percentage points of each other when it comes to popularity. The poll of just over 1,200 people was done online and by phone between the 1st and the 8th of November. Credit to : Newstalk
