Very quiet at Beggars Bush polling station. More people sitting outside enjoying the sun than there is inside. Iâd predict a <40% turnout.
What time do the polling booths close at?
10.30pm

Up to 43% there now.
Should be close to general election turnout
John Kilraine on RTE News at 9 was highlighting the impressive turnout in comparison to the last couple of by-elections (turnouts <30%) against the backdrop of the pandemic. But no real insight as to who that might favour.
Will there be a 10.30 exit poll?

How do they know a big Sinn Fein vote is out? Did they just judge by anyone who wore a tracksuit or had a tattoo and assume they were SF voters?

Big Shinner turn out I believe
Think they might have a secret database that matches addresses to likely voters 
Iâm no fan of either party but if thatâs all FG have to offer in terms of a motive for people to vote for them, theyâre a fucking disgrace

If the turn out finished up as low as the pace during the day, chances are SF are the only ones who managed to rally the troops.
Do we have an exit poll? Doubt it for a by election
