Unless hardly anyone voted past O'Callahan on their ballots that that's incorrect.

yer man from politics.ie seems pretty sure....

Re: Michael Lowry

Lowry has also made generous contributions to the arts and is believed to be one of the contributors to the fund for the commissioning of an art work by British artists Gilbert and George which is to be located at the gable wall of the old church in Knock, Co. Mayo, the reputed site of the 1879 apparition of the Blessed Virgin, saints and angels.

There are 350 Chris Andrews surplus votes to be distributed. Then 3,300 from the FFer who will be eliminated next.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

and cmere, how many seats do ff need to go into government alone? is there any chance nobody will go in with them and there'll have to be another election?

andrews' went +18 mcdowell, +80 Gormley

 

[Unicron]

83 for an outright majority. Someone will prop them up, the greens could well be the kingmakers, especially if the PD's only wind up with 2.

If he's right then his finger is really on the pulse because that 4th count hasn't been announced yet.

People on politics.ie who are 'pretty sure' about things are generally to be taken with a very large pinch of salt. The signal-to-noise ratio on that forum is pretty poor.

Has anyone heard about Dublin North east yet? Outgoing TDs are Woods and Brady (FF) and Broughan (Lab) - SF and FG seemed to have polled well so not sure which way it's going.

there's always a few FF friendly independents who'll gladly prop them up.

Thanks Unicron - I heard that sweeney has been eliminated. I assume 2 FF and that the last seat is down to SF/Lab/FG

 

[pete]

I'm talking to tally people watching all of the votes being counted. Done. Deal.

I've been running this site too long to know when I'm being fed sh1te.

Wait and see doubters.

seems convinced.

 

[Unicron]

seems convinced.

Fingers crossed so.

 

[ITalkShite]

seems convinced.

I'll keep doubting, for the moment - but I very much hope he's right

 

[MDR]

Gormley/McDowell still too close to call surely?

Dublin North east looks like 2FF and third seat to either FG or Lab.

 

[pete]

mcdowell has allegedly left the count centre

 

[MDR]

Grealish looks ok for PDs in Galway.
