So Enda eventually gives citizens our say! Don't waste your vote. Elect a progressive government. Vote Sinn Féin. Ádh mór oraibh. — Gerry Adams (@GerryAdamsSF) February 3, 2016

I know plenty of people who know who they won't be voting for but don't know yet who they'll vote for. lots of votes to be won #ge16
