Peter "The Patriot" Casey raises the flag for Ireland over the disputed lake of Lough Foyle. According to the Ipsos MRBI Poll released earlier this month, it's going to be a scrap between Casey, Maria Walsh and Brendan Smith for the final seat in the MNW:
Midlands North West (4 Seats) Ipsos MRBI Poll 1st Preference Vote:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The poll was released on the 10th of May, so perhaps all Casey's exposure in the media since then will have boosted his standing, if not he's going to need transfers to get him over the line.
