When the time comes for both entities to uncouple in a campaign setting, it will have the flavour of the famous Spider-Man meme which features identically dressed superheroes pointing accusatorially at each other.

Sinn Féin is popular, and Fine Gael will attack it more than Fianna Fáil – so it’s a safe bet who will self-immolate at greater speed in that battle.
