Disastrous vote splitting for Fine Gael.
That changes my projection to FG 51, FF 45. Could yet be 50 v 45 or even 49 v 45 if Mythen wins Wexford.
The Sidney brand has been redeemed the last few days

John Lyons should see SF over the line?
A renaissance.
Constituencies currently counting: 0.
Whatâs the largest margin ever turned over on a recount Sid? This a frivolous waste of time by this egotistical bitch. Sheâs never going to be elected, when is the penny going to drop with her?

Thatâs he. A very good chap by all accounts and comes across as very clued in and capable. Iâm disappointed for Ireland.

RTE have just updated the figures after OâCallaghanâs transfers that led to the recount:
Haughey 11956 (+297 - short of quota)
Mitchell 8596 (+210)
OâRiordain 8547 (+1003)
McGrath 8069 (+716)
Lyons 7760 (+551)
Broughan 7735 (+732)
Power 7668 (+994)
I fear Lyons will pip Mitchell here.
I donât know but Ben Briscoe beat Eric Byrne in 1992 after originally having declared to have lost by 10 votes.
Is the call for a recount over the inadmissable unstamped ballot papers, perhaps?
The FF interviews over the past 24hrs have been a great demonstration of what makes them the force they are. The language is all equality, fairness, and compassion. Little reference to the FG/Labour pre-election mantra of jobs and growth. When it was opportune to do so, they made a short jump to the left, right into the space where Labour sat five years ago. FF can do that in a way that FG canât, even if they were tuned in enough to notice it which they werenât. But FFâs defining feature is their flexibility. They shape-shifted at the right moment yet again.

Yeah there are a load of transfers at play here, probably 17,000 votes worth.
I think the key is if Powerâs transfers push Broughan past Lyons, which I think they will. Lyons should transfer reasonably well to Mitchell if he is eliminated. But Mitchell doesnât want to be involved in a final shoot out with Lyons as he would pick up better transfers from Broughan if Broughan was eliminated.
Iâll try and have a guess at what will eventually happen.
Count 14 - Powerâs distribution of 7668:
Haughey (+1700) - 13656 - exceeds quota by 1385
Mitchell (+ 300) - 8896
OâRiordain (+ 1500) - 10047
McGrath ( + 1000) - 9069
Lyons (+ 500) - 8260
Broughan ( + 800) - 8535
Haughey elected
Count 15 - Haugheyâs distribution of 1385 surplus
OâRiordain (+200) - 10247
McGrath (+ 600) - 9669
Mitchell (+ 100) - 8996
Broughan (+200) - 8735
Lyons (+100) - 8360
Lyons eliminated
Count 16 - distribution of Lyonsâ 8360 votes
OâRiordain (+ 600) - 10847
McGrath ( + 900) - 10569
Mitchell (+ 2800) - 11796
Broughan (+ 2400) - 11135
McGrath eliminated
Mitchell, Broughan and OâRiordain elected without reaching the quota

mate?
To be fair I donât think they ever really thought that they were going to get three over the line in Donegal but needed three candidates in order to try and get two across the line.
What they didnât count for was Tim Jackson doing so well in Ballybofey/Stranorlar, Gary Dohertyâs neck of the woods and that ultimately cost them the second seat.
