That's all for now

30 seats to declare


 

But all the counts are now closed until tomorrow.


 

Is it freaky to be doing this for 19 straight hours today?


 

Surely yes, but *you were watching*. Freak.

Cork NC


posted on 2007/05/26 01:39

 

Bernard Allen (FG, and near neighbour of mine) and Kathleen Lynch (Lab) re-elected, joining Billy Kelleher


 

Noel "Jabba" O'Flynn scrapes home without a quota

Mary White (GRN) takes last seat in Carlow-Kilkenny

Green total currently unchanged (net)

McGrath (IND) holds Dublin North Central

...and bumps Callily


 

...who'll now have more time to enjoy his house, which we understand was recently refurbished.

Cork South Central getting interesting


posted on 2007/05/25 23:08

 

Seat 5 is now a three-way between Dan Boyle (GRN), who's still not through, Ciaran Lynch (LAB) and John Dennehy (FF)


 

'Pact' rules would suggest Dan's in trouble at this point but that's not been the way it's gone down elsewhere today


 

Jerry Buttimer (FG) just went out; Clune and Coveney are currently separated by only 4 votes


 

Boyle needs 200ish more transfers than Lynch to stay in the race


 

... nope, he's out. Bugger.


 

Well, he's probably taken out his old foe John Dennehy (FF) with him and his transfers should push Ciaran Lynch (LAB) over the line


 

So he didn't fall in vain, at least


 

And so it was. Dennehy Out, Lynch In.

Laois-Offaly -- The last first count

Looks like FF3 FG2

McGinley FG takes third seat in Donegal South West from SF.


 

Pat Carey (FF) and Roisin Shortall (LAB) take final two in Dublin NW


genghis:

Current share of the vote, displayed in a different way:


posted on 2007/05/25 21:43

 

Government parties: 43.6%


 

FG/LAB/GRN: 42.5%


 

Half an hour ago it was 43.1% each.


 

I propose a new law requiring national broadcasters to read the exit polls they commission; this is exactly what it predicted


 

Also see prediction of same from much earlier today, if you'll excuse me being a smartarse for a moment

Kerry South Jackie Healy-Rae (IND) elected

"I'll double the PDs representation", said Michael McDowell as he was elected leader


 

As opposed to losing between 75% and 87.5% of his TD count, which is what's now happening


 

And, joy of joys, he's now out of the Dail himself.


 

Ruari Quinn elected


 

And John Gormley (Green) knocks the Tanaiste onto the scrapheap for a second time.


 

(Oh, Lucinda Creighton took the other one. Missed that earlier.)


genghis:

Cork NW... which of the 4 TDs running for 3 places is jobless?


posted on 2007/05/25 19:34

 

Not Batt "I hate foreigners, me" O'Keefe, sadly


 

Donal Moynihan jobless


genghis:

Richard Bruton coasts in in first place in Dublin NC


posted on 2007/05/25 19:09

 

Sean Haughey's just under the quota


 

Callily may have a problem


 

Finian McGrath behind but far from out yet.

I wonder who'll top this poll?


 

Hmm


 

Who could it be


 

The suspense is killing me


 

And


 

It's........


 

....


 

some bloke called Enda.


 

(And Michael Ring's coming in behind Round 2)


genghis:

Galway West

Eamon O Cuiv elected


 

The lower order is a trainwreck. Michael D's alright though


genghis:

Donegal SW


posted on 2007/05/25 18:59

 

Mary Coughlan elected round one


 

She has enough transfers to bring another FF home


 

FG to take the third


 

SF bumped


genghis:

Why aren't we updating via Twitter?


posted on 2007/05/25 18:43

 

Because we think it's crap, and also


 

Because it's been down, yet again, for most of today's results.


genghis:

Louth Round One


posted on 2007/05/25 18:17

 

No-one's in yet but the result's obvious - FF2 FG1 SF1


 

There's nearly 4k between that lot and McGuinness, who's fifth


genghis:

Cork South Central


posted on 2007/05/25 18:12

 

Micheal Martin elected on first round, Micheal McGrath joins him


 

Those of us who live there (Hi Damien) will be amused to see that Simon Coveney's being heavily punished for not showing up for work at the Dail in three years. Looks like he'll get spanked


 

Dan Boyle's doing alright so far.


 

[ 3 hours later ]


 

Seems RTE underreported Coveney's first round showing by over 2000 votes. Scrub that.


genghis:

Dublin South East continues


posted on 2007/05/25 18:02

 

Chris Andrews FF elected in round 3


 

Gormley >1000 ahead of McDowell


 

That's a very big gap to close. <snicker>


 

Looks like Ruari Quinn (Labour/More-public-holidays Party) and Lucinda Creighton (FG) are in soon


genghis:

Dublin MidWest

Harney, somehow, clings on. Here's hoping she'll be on her own...


 

...though still occupying two seats, no doubt.


 

And Paul Gogarty (GRN) takes the first Green seat of the day.


 

Oh, and "TV's Joanna Tuffy" closes the account there.


 

(for Labour)
