Just thinking of where the Shinners get most of their votes .WORKING CLASS AREAS .People who think they are hard done by .Most people in Tallaght ,Clondalkin,Finglas Cabra Ballyfermot are home owners bought their homes for chump change off the Corpo (like I did )Probably have at least one family member getting some sort of Social Welfare Payment or subsidized education .Middle class who pay for everything they have dont vote SF but I would think most residents of Working Class Areas have a nett worth greater than their middle class neighbours who have huge mortgages and qualify for no state benifits .
