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.
The blue lines don’t represent elected candidates – they represent “Oireachtas sub-panel” candidates, of whom no more than six and no fewer than five can be elected.
Correction – at least four Oireachtas and four non-Oireachtas should be elected.
Currently elected:
Doherty (SF) 1st count
Ryan (Lab) 1st count
Moylan (FF) 14th count
Walsh (FF) 16th count
O’Brien (FF) 16th count
Looking at it at the moment, Carty and Callanan (FF), along with Burke, Bradford and JP Phelan (FG) all look to be safe (Phelan because he’s an Oireachtas panel candidate). The last seat could be any one of Regan, Comiskey and Byrne (all FG).
FF 5 (-1) FG 4 (no change) Lab 1 (no change) SF 1 (+1)
my mistake thanks paddy.
I edited the post with your update.
Cheers
Burke (FG) elected on 20th count.
Standing at 21st count
JP Phelan (FG) 83.865
Bradford (FG) 79.342
Callanan (FF) 77.793
Carty (FF) 73.206
Regan (FG) 65.593
Byrne (FG) 52.701
Colleary (FF) 50.540
Bohan (FF) 49.419
The first remaining five are all almost certain winners (Carty, Phelan and Regan are all Oireachtas sub-panel so there can’t be any repeat of yesterday’s freak result).
Bohan is from Leitrim and may move Colleary (from Sligo) closer but it’s unlikely to change the eventual order.
Callanan (FF) elected on 22rd count
Bradford (FG) elected on 24th count
Phelan (FG) elected on 24th count
Regan (FG) elected on 26th count
Carty (FF) elected on 26th count without reaching quota
