Post a comment below:
It was the ECB wot done it: Dick Roche takes the Fianna Fail defence to the pages of the Wall Street Journal Europe.
IRA members seek US Medicaid assistance? Only in conservative prank video.
HSBC to pay $US63 million compensation to investors in light-touch regulated Irish investment fund linked to Bernie Madoff.
Saudi Arabia thinks Batt O’Keeffe is still Minister for Enterprise (as of 15:50, 20 April) not Richard Bruton.
“When I am on holiday, I am not foreign minister.” It’s not just Ireland where ministers have blind spots about their connections.
For those of us interested in party, that’s:
Blaney, Niall Party: Fianna Fail
Doherty, Mary Party: Christian Solidarity Party
Gallagher, Frank Party: Green Party
Harte, Jimmy Party: Independent
Keaveney, Cecilia Party: Fianna Fail
MacLochlainn, Padraig Party: Sinn Fein
McDaid, James Party: Fianna Fail
McGarvey, Ian Party: Independent
McGuinness, Arthur Party: Independent
McHugh, Joe Party: Fine Gael
McLaughlin, Siobhan Party: Labour
So basically, after McHugh, there are 4 candidates (SF, 3xFF) in with a shot of the other two seats. It looks to be damned close:
If Blaney is eliminated then SF are home safe I think, as the Blaney vote is more like an SF vote than FF (Blaney won as Independent FF last time, it goes back to the Arms Crisis).
FG McHugh 8447
FF McDaid 6724
SF MacLochlainn 6630
FF Blaney 6275
FF Keavney 6252
Ind Harte 1290 (Ind – former FG)
Ind McGuinness ? (not mentioned in the tally above – presumably very low?)
