The 4 October Irish Times/IPSOS MRBI poll put Sinn Féin support at 32% and Fine Gael at 22%. In that poll, Fianna Fáil stood at 20%, with the Greens and Labour up a point each, to 7% and 4%, respectively. The clár or programme for the event lists a number of motions to be heard, such as ones on serious organised crime, Brexit and the protocol, climate change and standing up for rural Ireland.If passed, it would solidify the end of the party’s long-standing opposition to the non-jury Special Criminal Court.
The court is a three-judge criminal court that deals with terrorist and organised crime cases. Significantly, it has no jury in order to avoid any potential intimidation of jury members.
