Fine Gael will improve in the polls. I think we don't get the same opportunity as the Government parties in the media. We have fresh candidates and Enda Kenny has brought a real sense of purpose to the party. (On potential coalition with the PDs): I personally don't like the PDs. I don't like Mary Harney and her attitude. It's very bullish. She feels she's right and that's it.
The Government has been in power for so long because I think the Celtic Tiger came in at a very good time for Fianna Fáil. But now people know that the reality is that things are not so prosperous - look at health. It will be different this election.
Michael Swarbrigg (Dublin North)
I'm chairman of the Skerries branch and membership officer for Dublin North.
Our party works quite hard with Labour. We are different parties and have different policies on issues like privatisation, but we worked well in coalition before and will again.
The Government bought the last election, but look at their waste and inefficiency - transport, the M50, the port tunnel, e-voting. We've got great policies and as Richard Bruton said today there will be proper checks put on every project.
There will be no chance of anything going over budget.
Cllr Liam Galvin (Limerick West)
The ardfheis is the real start of the Fine Gael campaign.
It's been on for the last six months but the election is really starting from today. The SSIA is going to be a big factor in what happens. We are trying to get the message across: 'don't be fooled by it'.
At the end of the day if people are going to buy a car the €3,500, they get from the Government will be taken right back in tax. If they put a deposit on a mortgage, 48 per cent of that will be taken back in tax.
Maria Dalton (Meath East)
In all the years I've been involved with Fine Gael since the 70s, they've never been more prepared for an election. The party is very buoyed up at the moment. The organisation has a more professional approach.
Years ago things were very amateur and they just happened. Not now. In the constituency organisation in our area there are young people who are vibrant, well educated and making a difference.
Una Carroll (Roscommon/Leitrim)
What makes Fine Gael different is honesty. I think that Fine Gael are very dependable, that you can trust them. I think Enda Kenny is very trustworthy.
You don't ever hear any negative things about him. There is no bribery, no badness, no political skulduggery with Enda.
Paddy Suffin (Roscommon/Leitrim)
Enda Kenny is a good, solid man and well capable of running the country. He is good with people.
He has the experience, he was a minister and he's a long-time TD. He's a good, sensible man.
Eimear Cosgrave (Wexford)
I joined Fine Gael two years ago because I liked what they were saying. They have an attractive agenda. I like their emphasis on young people. They are listening to young people and will act on what they say.
The other parties just aren't taking our concerns on board.
