Sentiment Analysis by Party
The article highlights several issues for Fine Gael, including the controversy surrounding John McGahon and the criticism of their candidate selection strategy in Wexford and Donegal. These points suggest a moderately negative sentiment towards the party.
Fianna Fáil is mentioned in a neutral context, with references to former members running as independents and some candidates making comebacks. There is no strong positive or negative sentiment expressed towards the party.
The article discusses the resignation of Brian Stanley from Sinn Féin amid an internal inquiry, which casts a moderately negative light on the party. However, there is no severe criticism, keeping the sentiment moderately negative.
Aontú is portrayed in a somewhat positive light, with leader Peadar Tóibín receiving praise for his performance in TV debates. However, the party's limited success outside of Tóibín's constituency tempers the sentiment to neutral.
The Green Party is mentioned in the context of potentially losing a seat, with Catherine Martin facing competition and Francis Noel Duffy possibly losing his seat. This suggests a moderately negative sentiment.
Independent Ireland is mentioned in a neutral context, with Michael Clarke's past criminal record being noted but also his potential success in the election. The sentiment is neutral as the article does not express strong opinions either way.
