Why aren’t RTE showing the count?

Christy Burke gone in Dublin central. His 3,658 transfers will decide who takes the last seat between SD Gary Gannon and IND Maureen O’Sullivan who are separated by a mere 8 votes.

Dublin Central is some pox of a constituency. 5,500 topping the poll.

Anti-South East bias

Vincent Browne passed Gerry a few deserved compliments the other day in the Irish Times, he was saying that he is the best Irish politician of his generation. And I would agree with him.

His main point was there would have been a war in the North without him, but the same couldn’t be said about the peace process.

I wrote a post a few days back about Gerry Adams in which some may have thought I was taking the piss, but I definitely wasn’t.

Gerry Adams is by a mile the outstanding Irish political figure of modern times. It’s not even close.

He is our Mandela.

I’ll probably will still vote SF when he does retire as leader but I won’t have quite the same enthusiasm about doing so.

Have barely watched RTE’s TV coverage all day. Its awful. Following it on the radio.

Maureen O’Sullivan looks like getting the third seat in Dublin Central.

Maureen should be a heavy favourite to get in there

[Fagan_ODowd]

It’s fucking desperate.

[balbec]

It’s brutal.

Niamh Lyons would be a babe if she lost a few stone.

[Fagan_ODowd]

No obvious reason why that should be the assumption. Gannon is from the same part of the constituency as O Sullivan and Burke. Most of Burkes preferences would go to SF so will be ineligible. This will still be very close.

[Fagan_ODowd]

About 3.

[cmontofuck]

On 1st preferences, FG on 26% with FF on 25%.

Niamh Lyons is great. She’s a babe and also has a great personality.

[Matty_Hislop]

The Social Democrats must be kicking themselves for not running more candidates.

I’ll bow to your superior knowledge on the area.

[Fagan_ODowd]

I’m likely to be wrong but I just don’t see the automatic assumption that these votes will transfer to O Sullivan.

[Sidney]

Clare Daly was writing Maureen O’Sullivan’s obituary as TD a few minutes ago. She’ll have to furiously unwrite it.

O’Sullivan only has to make up a deficit of 8 on Gannon (Soc Dem) off Burke’s transfers.

FF could have put up the delectable Lisa Chambers for this piece from Mayo, instead we have to look at this freak.
