EXPERTS WHO have closely observed the Irish electorate for decades are warning that this sudden, intense and emotional outpouring of concern and empathy for care workers in the wake of a viral video featuring Simon Harris could all but disappear by the time voters cast their vote on Friday.

“I’m newly outraged by how carers are treated, this is the most intense feeling I’ve ever experienced, I have an unwavering conviction that will last a lifetime,” offered one voter convincingly, who will ultimately cast their vote for a coalition candidate because they don’t want to risk any personal tax increases.

Such exchanges have led experts on the Irish electorate to remind Fine Gael not to panic too much over the video of Simon Harris dismissing a carer’s concerns and criticisms while on the campaign trail.

“It’s a disgrace how carers and people with disabilities are treated,” said one irate voter, who won’t be irate enough come Friday to actually vote for the one party which has said the establishment of a minister for disability is a red line for their party entering into a government.

This latest incident marks the second time this year the electorate was momentarily focused on the issue of carers after the referendums earlier this year briefly captured the mind but not enough to get people to advocate for increased supports, services and payments.

“No, it’s those fecking useless lily-livered politicians who are to blame, you can’t believe a word they say anyway,” countered one voter who is to punish those in charge by giving them his first, second and third preferences this Friday.

“I’m torn, the lad in my constituency could be in line to be made a minister if Fine Gael get in, and then we might have a chance of getting that sensory playground in the area for all those kids who can’t get any assessments or classroom supports under a Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil government,” reasoned another voter.
