Can't see him falling at the final fence, he's almost 10k ahead of Cuffe and huge blue water betwixt him and Daly.

Yes, but Fianna Fáil are the inheritors of that tradition. The current iteration of Sinn Fein comes from a minority Northern Nationalist sectarian tradition. The majority of northern Nationalists voted
that’s good news!
Okey dokey.
