Reaction from outside Ireland seems to be split
1 - well done Ireland for not adopting the hard right nationalism, anti immigration commonplace around Europe
- Irish nationalism has been stoked up by Brexit and a deterioration in Irish English relations
The only way the tax payers get their money back is if the banks are profitable.
MHR giving Yatesy yards of it 
Calleary just threw Martin under the bus there.
ah it is only a bit of banter
McConologue is guaranteed because he’ll get the Innishowen transfers. Innishowen is like a county within a county.
What’s Johnny Mythen’s background? Who have we voted for here?

Is he related to the Oulart Mythens?
Spent a good lump of his life involved with ESB and Unite. A nice decent man but very much in the right place at the right time.
You disgusting misogynist.
No. Hardcore Enniscorthy town man as far as I know.
What are the geographical locations and political stances of the lower order Wexford candidates still involved?
He has a lovely way of trying to draw lads out
Galway West 4th Count: A wasteland for Labour

Galway West was once a stronghold for the Labour Party – but it is now a wasteland as its candidate, Níall McNelis has been eliminated on the fourth count.
The Labour city councillor garnered just over 1,548 first preferences, well shy of what was required to be in the shake-up in Michael D Higgins’ former stomping ground.
Derek Nolan topped the poll here in Galway West in 2011 but lost his seat after winning just 3,220 first preferences in 2016. McNelis’ polled about half that this time out – a blow after the party lost one of its two Council seats back in the May 2019 Local Election.
The distribution of Aontú’s Cormac Ó Corcorain’s votes pushed Éamon Ó Cuív (FF) ahead of Sinn Féin’s Mairead Farrell as both close in on the quota.
Noel Grealish (Ind) took the biggest chunk of Ó Corcoráin’s transfers – 345 in total – as he solidifies his position in third place in this five-seater.
The 1,593 total votes of McNelis, who was not seen at the count centre today, will now be redistributed in the fifth count.
