	Ahern Wins Irish Election but Falls Short of Majority (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		DUBLIN, Ireland -- Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern's Fianna Fail party was on track Sunday for a sweeping victory -- but just short of the predicted overall majority -- in an Irish general election that also saw big gains for Sinn Fein.
		The election, held Friday, has changed Ireland's political landscape, voters delivering a devastating blow to the main opposition party Fine Gael and a significant breakthrough to Sinn Fein, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army.
		The party, which is dedicated to ending British rule in Northern Ireland, has reinvented itself as a radical social crusader in the Irish republic, focusing on issues such as drugs, crime and poverty, and targeting the younger vote.

		The Coalition is showing clear signs of recovery as voter satisfaction ratings for the Government, Taoiseach and Tánaiste increase to their highest levels since before the 2002 general election, writes Mark Brennock, Chief Political Correspondent.
		The result of the June local government elections was: Fianna Fáil 31.9 per cent; Fine Gael 27.4 per cent; Labour 11.3 per cent; Sinn Féin 8 per cent; Progressive Democrats 3.8 per cent; Green Party, 3.7 per cent; Others, 13.9 per cent.
		Although more voters still disapprove of the Government than approve of it, and Fianna Fáil's rating would still lose it seats in a general election, this poll suggests the Government and party may have begun to regain lost public support.
