More scandal THE Limerick electorates, East and West, are exceptionally volatile.
Voters here are more prone than most to switch allegiance from election to election.
In between, public opinion is in a constant and intensifying state of flux. The situation, therefore, on any given day is notoriously unpredictable. And it can change dramatically from one day to the next. Beverley Cooper-Flynn, much though she might be cursing her misfortune in the Four Courts, should be down on her knees thanking God that she represents Mayo and not Limerick, East or West. For in Mayo, it is reported, the jury's finding that she helped people to evade tax will earn her a sympathy vote.
