"Heather Humphreys faced an unenviable task of having to scale a ladder of 18pc just to get on the same level as Catherine Connolly, if the latest poll is to be believed."
"It was a tall order indeed...but that's what Fine Gael special forces had drilled into her. Maximum force and precision execution were of utmost importance."
"Everyone is normally asleep at this hour, they assured her. The West is never awake, anyway. A piece of cake!"
A poll shows Heather Humphreys is 18 percentage points behind Catherine Connolly, requiring substantial gains to reach parity. Fine Gael prepared Humphreys with intensive tactics portrayed as 'special forces' training, emphasizing maximum force and precision execution. Campaign strategists focused on timing actions when voters are least attentive, asserting the western electorate is typically disengaged late at night. Operatives characterized the task as difficult but manageable despite the large polling deficit. The campaign framed the effort as urgent and technically demanding given the scale of the gap, while maintaining confidence in execution.
