Ailbhe Conneely takes the honour of being the first reporter to lose her train of thought and mumble and stumble live on air.

Live tally spreadsheet for Dub Bay South.

I think most of the boxes opened so far are inner city and ringsend so that should be taken into account.

Sinn Féin owns Dublin 4.

The count centres have to close at 9:00pm tonight. It’s a health and safety thing.
Mrs Bradley works in one of the count centres.
Some handy money btw. I sorted it out for her myself years ago. Can’t bate the bit of pull.

Andrews, Murphy and O’Callaghan doing well in Dublin Bay South so far. That would leave some battle for last seat.

tallback · February 27, 2016, 9:44am

I think it’s too early to say that. Hits all the places you’d expect him to do well where they’ve tallied i.e. inner city, ringsend etc. I don’t think the “leafier” parts have been tallied yet.

This is some day to be alive. As I predicted we’ll have a ff/sf coalition leading us on the 100 th anniversary of the rising. It doesn’t get any better than this. The blueshirts utterly destroyed to make it even better

Little_Lord_Fauntleroy · February 27, 2016, 9:46am

Well done to the grand canal rastoolers

It’s very interesting looking at the fragmentation going on in the voting patterns in this election and the last one. In a way it is very similar to the Eastern European countries after the fall of communism. A broken political system. You would have lots of small parties, no overall majorities and in each election a new third force that would disintegrate before the next election and disappear, to be replaced by another.

It’s kind of fitting that 100 years after the rising the core right wing parties are converging. But the left needs to converge into larger blocs. As someone posted earlier, the appetite for Independents will be reduced by the time of the next election. Many of them are local or singe issue candidates and add nothing to the national body politic.

SF predicted to get 27 seats

Tassotti · February 27, 2016, 9:47am

Gerry Adams will be tanaiste

Thinly veiled: “we need to close to get a few pints in after a hard days counting, tallying, yahooing and generally acting the roaster”.

FG on 24% in Dublin Rathdown. Shatter is in big trouble as that looks like no second FG seat there. His best hope is to get ahead of his running mate Madigan.

Mick Barry looks like taking a seat in Cork North Central from early tallies. Kathleen Lynch is gone. FGs Dara Muphy could lose out to the second FG candidate.

Gerry Adams and Micheál Martin will surely be revolving Toaisigh over the term.

balbec · February 27, 2016, 9:49am

Surprised at that.

Sidney · February 27, 2016, 9:49am

The Champagne RA set have won the day.

TFK’s barstool blueshirts are absolutely seething.

balbec · February 27, 2016, 9:50am

Des Cahill says Jimmy Deenihan is in trouble. Healy Raes doing well around Tralee.
