Ireland: Fianna Fáil massacred as left secures first majority, The Irish Times (2011)

This article reports and comments the results in Dublin of the February general elections. Fianna Fail suffered a "dramatic annihilation" in the capital, where it won only 1 seat (19 before the election). According to the author, the Dublin results show the gravity of the party's fall down. In the capital's 47 Dáil seats, the poll brought major changes: the left parties (Labour, the United Left Alliance and Sinn Féin) won the majority of the seats for the first time (44% of the votes - 26 seats). The Labour Party alone doubled its number of seats (from 9 to 18), while the Green Party crashed from 8% to 3%. 544,790 people voted in Dublin.
