Taoiseach Simon Harris was criticised for "inaction" over calling the next general election in messages from the public, despite claims that the public do not care about the timing of the poll.
Mr Harris has previously insisted the Government will go full term to March 2025, or close to that date.
While his insistence on a March date has cooled, he has remained non-committal over a pre-Christmas election despite pressure from opposition TDs.
Positive opinion poll results for Fine Gael, and Mr Harris' own popularity, coupled with scandals facing Sinn Féin, have further intensified rumours of an impending election date.
In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, Mr Harris suggested the public does not care about the timing of the election.
Government figures have also claimed it is only the media and opposition who care about the election timing.
However, BreakingNews.ie has seen a number of messages to the Taoiseach, released under the Freedom of Information Act, which criticised Mr Harris over "inaction" on the next election.
The emails and letters all related to the next general election, and when the Government will call it, with some sections redacted.
Your inaction in relation to this issue will be a deciding factor for me and so many of my peers.
One person wrote: "There is an election coming up. At the end of this year, the start of next year. Whenever it is, your inaction in relation to this issue will be a deciding factor for me and so many of my peers."
Another email, heavily redacted, which was sent to Tánaiste Micheál Martin and Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly as well, threatened to publicise details of an issue that may hurt the Coalition at the ballot box.
It read: "Given the seriousness of this, I am very prepared to make a national issue about this if needs be come September, and I am sure it is something that everyone would like to avoid leaning into a potential general election come November."
Another email, which also included redacted portions, spoke about grievances directed at unnamed local councillors from coalition parties.
"National representatives may try to act as if the actions of councillors of their parties have nothing to do with them. Not so," the person wrote. "The electorate has one more option in 2025 to ensure that political parties stop fleecing those who are finding it increasingly difficult to pay."
The email went on to suggest a pre-Christmas election would see these people direct their "ire" at government parties.
In a letter which praised Mr Harris for his work since becoming Taoiseach, the author said he would have their vote if the election "was to be held today".
Another person encouraged Mr Harris to call the general election for the same day as the US presidential election (Tuesday, November 5th).
They wrote: "Same day as the election in the US with a Harris on both sides of the pond. Could make for an exciting few days."
Sooner rather than later.
Another person called for the general election to be called "sooner rather than later as the present government is a disaster".
Other messages called for more detailed plans on issues like health, housing and justice ahead of the general election.
In one message calling for the date to be pushed back as long as possible, someone called for a referendum on housing to be called first.
One person told the Taoiseach to reveal the date of the election, as the issue "is not going away anytime soon".
Tánaiste Micheál Martin had previously indicated he favoured a February date for the general election. However, in an interview with The Irish Times on Wednesday he appeared more open to a pre-Christmas vote.
“If it’s the desire of others to do things earlier, we’d need to game that and people would need to work through the timelines around critical pieces of legislation,” he said.
“I think what people want is to complete work to make sure that there’s a solid bit of work done and that we end up, that we end the Government in a harmonious way, having worked together for four-and-a-half years now.”
Mr Harris has insisted the election will come "in due course", adding that he is "not obliged" to give running commentary on the timing of the election.
