Looking at the Irish Indo breakdown of the votes.

Connaught, Ulster & Munster voted for change.

Leinster voted for the Status-Quo.

No surprise there then.

Time for a Federal system of devoloved Government, Dublin would have the Infrastructure, Industry etc.

The other 3 Proviences could exploit the natural gas, oil & wind power reserveses not really available to the East. If we cut the Dublin government out, the other 3 Proviences could have more money to spread among less people.

Its time to Oust the Dublin dictates.
