Blueshirt James Bannon is seething.
Mr Bannon said âthe biggest upset of this whole campaign would be the fact that 33 per cent of Longford people voted for Westmeath candidatesâ.
âI canât explain it,â Mr Bannon said, âthereâs no sense of pride in oneâs county when that happens. You talk about putting on the county jersey and everything else and when you see that happening it is quite annoying.
âLongford needs a TD, I emphasised that during the course of the campaign because I pointed out that counties like Carlow and Leitrim lost their TD in the past and they were at serious disadvantage because they had nobody at Government level to advocate on their behalf.â
Mr Bannon said the loss of a TD ânever happened in the history of the State, Longford always had two TDs, but I donât know why so many people went along and voted for Westmeath candidates or what they were thinking of.
âPeople that I spoke to over the last number of days canât believe that this has happened, the evidence is here at the tallies,â he said.
âExamine their conscienceâ
Mr Bannon said one third, or more than 6,000 of Longfordâs 18,000 votes went to candidates from Co Westmeath and that those people âwill now have to examine their conscience and any respect for their county and their county going forwardâ.
âI am a Longford candidate and very few votes came back from Westmeath to Longford candidates, very few votes, I mean you could count them nearly on one hand. This could result in Longford having no TD.â

Wow, what a story. New Fine Gael TD and all round lovely girl Kate OâConnell saved a manâs life just four months ago by giving him mouth to mouth resuscitation. Too bad he doesnât remember it.
Dubliner Steve Lawlor has said he owes his life to three women who helped bring him back from the dead after he suffered a massive heart attack while driving.
Yesterday, the 45-year-old met one of his âthree angelsâ - Councillor Kate OâConnell. She gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation after he was found slumped over the wheel of his van in Rathgar.

They r were going to get in to power. But I was worried for a sec
You might want to have another look at that post before you castigate the education level of others.
Youâre a bit out with your timeline. The trial you refer to was in 2008. The incident in question was a decade ago in 2006.

It got a good bit of coverage at the time. From recollection the complainants were some out of town lads who were throwing their weight around in a pub in Clogheen the day of the graveyard mass.

Recount in Longford-Westmeath is over and predictably proved to be a waste of time, although Paul Hogan has increased his lead over Willie Penrose by 2 and over Bannon by 6.
Fianna Fail transfers now being distributed - I think.
Recount in Dublin Bay North continuing still.
Wonât be a result tonight.
FF voters being very shy on Clare Byrne tonight.
Here comes the TFK COTY
Edit - sitting opposite Eamonn fuckin Dunphy!
