This is wrong
editThe first paragraph in the Overview section is plain wrong:
- The 1997 general election saw the public offered a choice of two possible coalitions. The existing government coalition of Fine Gael, the Labour Party and Democratic Left...[or] a coalition of Fianna Fáil and the Progressive Democrats.
As at any general election, the "public" [recte electorate] had multitude of choices. One of the least likely outcomes was a Fine Gael single party government, but a continuation of the three-party government was barely more likely; if the swing had gone to Fine Gael and Labour, a two-party coalition was far more likely. A Fianna Fáil majority government was theoretically possible, likewise a Fianna Fáil minority government. Depending on the election results, there might also have been a Fianna Fáil-Labour coalition, as there was in 1992, or a Fianna Fáil-Green Coalition, as there was after 2009. The paragraph needs to be completely re-worded. Scolaire (talk) 14:11, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Catholic Democrats/National Party in Results panel
edit@Spleodrach: In 1997 Irish general election#Results, the National Party is displaying as the "Catholic Democrats"; however they did not become the Catholic Democrats under later chronologically. I've tried changing it to National Party, however this does work either. Do you know how to get the correct name to display? CeltBrowne (talk) 10:49, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- @CeltBrowne: I have updated the relevant module, so it displays correctly now. Spleodrach (talk) 17:46, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
