He’s far enough ahead I’d say, will get in without reaching the quota.
They could have run a few more candidates
SF doesn’t have all the tricolour-waving as their candidates are deemed elected like in previous elections. Looking like a directive from head office, this used to annoy people in the past as disrespectful to brath na hÉireann…
Sinn Fein IRA with tricolours in count centres is a worrying reminder that Ireland is not immune to growth of nationalism we have seen elsewhere with Brexit and the growth of other strongly nationalist parties around Europe.
David Cullinane 20,564 first preferences in Waterford.
Eoin murphy is a proper cunt
Problem is we have a genuine cause for a 32 county Ireland but Sinn Fein will drive us further from this.
And the wife just elected in Carlow Kk
FF and SF it is
Great to see Niall Collins and Willie o dea at least not topping the polls in limerick.
Looking at the tally in Donegal, Joe McHugh is another Minister who could be in trouble. He’s on 10% with a running mate on 4%. Fianna Fáil polled poorly on 21% but McConalogue and Pat the Cope have polled fairly evenly.
Eoghan Murphy is a great operator.
Dobbo batting for SF now. He knows what side his bread is buttered in this brave new world
Dobbo is a pro.
Pearse Doherty will not get the most votes in the country. It looks like Denise Mitchell could get it, over 21k apparently.
Word is that Pearse has got 20,909 votes. here’s the Donegal tally - I think McHugh FG could be in difficulty - MacLochlainn is over the quota aswell, and Pringle will do well on that massive SF surplus.
This is a great victory for Nationalists.
Not really grabbing the democratic process is Mr. Egan.
Murphy hid for the election and comes out fighting once his seat is secure
Willie O’Dea on Virgin Media now talking about talking to everyone. FF-SF done deal
Eoghan Murphy on the attack against Sinn Fein despite their incredible performance today.
That cunt would want to row his neck in.
