## Resource

Aontú is surging with eight percent polling support, matching Labour, the Greens, and People Before Profit combined, as leader Peadar Tóibín ramps up election momentum across the border—boosted by Trump’s Ireland comments. They’ve added a new North councillor after she split from the SDLP over abortion, still their core issue but now expanding into immigration, cost of living, and crime. Tóibín’s sights are set on 12 Dáil seats, with coalition talks open to Fianna Fáil but not Fine Gael, as they build toward a potential 2028 or 2029 general election.
