New evidence on the growing gender gap in political attitudes in Ireland politicalreform.ie/2025/01/13/the… @POLITICSUL

@Nealdooly We found it hard to find a question on which candidates would differ. It's more an issue of parties/candidates differing in how much they prioritise it, rather than having different opinions. But suggestions welcome

@WhichCandidate why isn’t there a question on disability services ?

Election 2024: How do I vote, could one party win outright this time, and what are they all promising? irishtimes.com/politics/2024/…

@BligheDerek Spelling mistake fixed now on whichcandidate.ie, thanks for alerting us

This is a sample of the Cork North Central ballot paper(with a spelling mistake 😁) If you're voting for me, mark 1 on the box beside my face as seen, and if you like one of the other candidates mark 2 beside them and so on. You don't have to mark all of the boxes, if you only like 1 candidate then only mark 1 box. #SendDerektoDublin

Lots of interesting data here on election candidates, broken down by gender. Seems Wicklow has the lowest % of women candidates in #ge24

Nice explanation of WhichCandidate here, thanks @emmakatedineen!

@John_O_Connel1 @ElecCommIRL @irishexaminer @IrishTimes As we replied to you previously, we addressed missing candidates. It's all been checked against the notice of poll. Not sure why you are raising it again?

I would like to draw @ElecCommIRL attention to this tool! I found missing candidates in #corksouthcentral and a 'Mock Ballot' out of order as reported in this thread. Disclaimer needs to be posted on this tool to check with a 'Notification of Poll'! @irishexaminer @IrishTimes

Dr Rory Costello discusses WhichCandidate, an online voting aid that operates by matching users to the candidates most aligned with their policy views ahead of the General Election. Listen back: shows.acast.com/live-95-limeri…

Lots more candidates have shared their views on WhichCandidate.ie in the last few days (including @campaignforkate, @wallacemick, @catherinegalway, @ClareDalyIRL, @BligheDerek and many more), so even if you did it previously worth checking back before Friday #GE24

You can now do WhichCandidate on the Irish Examiner too #ge24 irishexaminer.com/news/politics/…

Had a great chat with Joe Nash on Live 95fm earlier - he has always give us great support @Live95Limerick

Still not sure who to vote for in the 2024 general election? Use this tool to see which candidate matches your views irishtimes.com/politics/2024/…

Great to chat to Ciara on Newstalk Breakfast this morning. Taking an online quiz leads many to change their vote newstalk.com/news/taking-an… via @NewstalkFM

@John_O_Connel1 @PadraigRice Thanks - added that candidate. We'll do a final run-through to check for any more missing. The ballot ordering issue is to do with how O Laoghaire is treated, we'll try and address that too.

@WhichCandidate @PadraigRice Thanks for fixing missing 'Ward'! You should have doubled check the 'Notice of Poll' I linked another missing person is Dineen, Paudie! And the order of candidates on the mock ballot are in the wrong order after neville! People could select wrong candidates?

@John_O_Connel1 @PadraigRice Thanks John, we'll fix that.

@WhichCandidate I Maybe wrong but are you missing candidate 'Ward' in Cork South Central? @PadraigRice seems to be at the bottom of the list!

Coverage for WhichCandidate in the Examiner irishexaminer.com/news/politics/…

@halpin_niall Thanks for the suggestion. If we can come up with a question that candidates have different positions on we should definitely do it next time.

@WhichCandidate No question on disabilities put to the candidates for this general election! It would've been very useful to a whole cohort of voters.

@RealScottReilly Good suggestions, thanks. We can't tweak the wording now as the answers are already in, but will keep that in mind for next time.

...is that they can only survive through near total gov funding meaning there isn't evidence for public support for their policies. Adding the words "gov funded NGOs" or "non-publicly funded NGOs" or something like it might make the Q easier to answer and give more accurate data

@WhichCandidate Great resource, nice work! One suggestion: changing the wording of Q19 to "government funded NGOs". The issue for people is that so many NGOs receive almost none of their funding from the public and so have no public mandate for the policies they push
