As Ireland gears up for an imminent general election, major political parties are strategizing to secure their positions. Fine Gael, invigorated by leadership changes, aims to regain dominance, while coalition partner Fianna Fáil seeks to solidify its ground. Sinn Féin hopes to reposition amidst recent controversies, as smaller parties like the Greens, Labour, and Independents, including a new group, aim to increase their influence. With all parties poised for intense campaigning, the upcoming election promises to be a tense battle for control over the Dáil, where political alliances and voter sentiments remain in flux.
