Irish Election - Coverage of Irish Politics, News and Current Affairs

Better than ringing from the Jacks, right? A twitter feed from the Mansion house. Edit by Cian: Newstalk report that Trevor Sargent says he is willing to resign if needs be. The future of the country is more important than his. RTE understand he is standing down. Edit 2: Twitter is back, Stephen is here. Add twitter.com/irishpolitics [...]

Rather helpful, rather timely, Rather Snazzy.

Results from 6th count: Coffey(FG): 5382 Cullinane(SF): 3697 Deasy(FG): 8546 Halligan(Workers P): 2093 Kenneally(FF): 6699 OShea(Lab): 6545 Wilkinson(FF): 6395 Halligan has been elim. Halligans results are now being distrib. Wilkinson has lost his lead on O’ Shea. O Shea should get a large amount of Halligans votes as both are left and from the city.

If he didn’t point that gun and get everywhere in the papers and media, would he have gotten so many votes? It’s all about identifying with the locals, right? Not at all related. O’Dea elected with almost 11,000 surplus.

Nobody met the quota. Predictions: John O’Donoghue FF 1st Tom Sheehan Fine Gael 2nd Tom Fleming FF 3rd Jackie Healy-Rae and Breda Moynihan-Cronin to lose out say the locals.

Going into 3rd count: Fitzgerald FG 4532 Gogarty Greens 4123 Harney PDs 4950 Keating Indp 2701 Moriarty FF 4200 Spain SF Tuffy Labour 4145 Moriarty’s elimination will put Harney over the line.
