Interviewee two; when asked which party they supported if any, they replied Fine Gael. They said they chose this party because they believe in their policies and also that both their parents supported them which had a huge impact on their choice of party.

Interviewee three; when asked which party or if any party do they feel close to they said they didn’t practically follow any party. They stated that they never felt a strong
