A Laois political analyst gives his thoughts on tomorrow's election.

A Laois political analyst is predicting a very tight race across the midlands constituencies in the general election.

Dr. Adrian Kavanagh says Sinn Féin regularly poll well, but this time it could translate to them gaining significantly in the 33rd Dáil.

He thinks the most interesting battle could come in Longford/Westmeath - where there's an emphasis on returning a TD from Longford to the chamber.

Dr. Kavanagh says the final seat in particular will be hotly contested:
