‘Punters cannot get enough of Danny Healy-Rae’
T
THINGS are looking positive for the Healy-Rae brothers’ hopes of winning two seats in the new five-seat Kerry constituency, as suggested by the latest odds from BoyleSports and a poll conducted for TG4.
The Ipsos MRBI survey for TG4's Seacht Lá programme shows Michael Healy-Rae with support of 33% – more than twice the quota.
With his brother and fellow Independent Danny Healy-Rae on 4%, a vote-management strategy could result in both brothers taking a seat.
And this evening bookmakers BoyleSports has seen one of the biggest political gambles so far in the Irish General Election as the odds of Kerry’s Danny Healy-Rae have been slashed into 1/7 from 13/8 overnight.
Having initially been installed at 6/1 last week when it was announced that he would be running for a seat, Danny Healy-Rae is now 1/7 to win one of the available five seats following the latest poll From TG4 regarding Kerry.
“Punters cannot get enough of Danny Healy-Rae and following the latest TG4 poll, he now looks certain to win one of the five available seats as punters have backed him into 1/7 from 6/1 in just under a week," Liam Glynn, BoyleSports’ spokesperson, said.
According to BoyleSports data, Michael Healy-Rae’s odds are at 1/500.
