With less than 24 hours to polling day we decided to take a look at the Paddy Power betting on the Wexford Constituency, we looked at the market only two weeks ago, and it is astounding to see how much it has changed.

Sinn Fein’s Johnny Mythen has plummeted in the market, of all the candidates, he is now the shortest price at 1/10 to take a seat, originally the Enniscorthy man was an easy to back 2/1 shot.

Verona Murphy has also shortened in the market, from an opening show of 4/6, those odds have halved into 1/3.

The Fine Gael duo of D’Arcy and Kehoe have taken a walk in the market, they are easy to back at evens and 2/1 respectively, both were originally in the top five in the betting to take a seat each.
