A tweet by Fianna Fail TD Barry Cowen has caused a storm on Twitter, with calls for the Laois - Offaly TD to apologise.
After a Sunday Times opinion poll showed an increase in support for Sinn Fein and a drop in support for Fianna Fail, Deputy Cowen took to Twitter.
Reminded of Larry Dunne famously remarking 'if you think we're bad, wait till you see what's coming after us'

Larry Dunne was a Dublin heroin dealer in the eighties, who is blamed by Gardai for introducing Heroin to the Capital.
Sinn Fein Councillor Daithi Doolan from Ballyfermot, has demanded an apology.
"This comment is extremely hurtful to the many hundreds of families who are left mourning their children's deaths as a result of heroin and as a direct result of Larry Dunne and his fellow criminal travelers that pedaled their death in the streets and communities of Dublin. So for a Fianna Fail TD to reiterate that comment as a reference point is absolutely outrageous."
