As the 31st Dáil sits for the first time, what does the new Programme for Government say? To answer that question in the geekiest way possible we did a quick data-analysis of the document.
“Government”, “new” and “public” were the most mentioned words in the Fine Gael and Labour Programme for Government. Analysis of the Programme’s text show that “we will” is the most common phrase and is usually followed by words such as “introduce” (11 times), “establish” (6 times), “ensure” (6 times), “review” (8 times), “legislate” (7 times), “reform” (6 times) and “be required” (8 times).
