On lunch time radio news today on RTE Radio 1 Ivan Yates (Former Fine Gael minister and now managing director of Celtic Bookmakers) and Noel Whelan (author of the “The Tallyman’s Campaign Handbook”) were asked to predict the Irish Election 2007. Their predictions are as follows
| Party | Ivan Yeats | Noel Whelan |
| Fianna Fail | 68 | 68 |
| Fine Gael | 47 | 50 |
| Labour | 19 | 20 |
| Sinn Fein | 11 | 9 |
| Green Party | 10 | 8 |
| Independents | 10 | 10 |
| PDs | 1 | 3 |
The figures above means that transfers will have a huge effect on the election outcome.
