Dáil to meet for final time ahead of snap Irish election

This was to be Sinn Féin’s breakthrough election – the moment of truth for the most popular party in the last election four years ago.

Its leader Mary Lou McDonald was even considered the Taoiseach-in-waiting.

But much of that Sinn Féin optimism has drained away over the past year.

From the dizzy heights of a poll rating in the mid-30s post election last time, the party has fallen back to around 18%.

While polls come with a health warning, they do present a pattern which was borne out in the European and Council election earlier this year when Sinn Féin performed poorly.

Since then, the party has struggled to deal with series of internal party controversies and lost two TDs along the way.
