So Costello going now - she’ll go to Hayes in elements alright.
If Murphy goes then he will put Childers way up.
Whelan in the RTE studio is pretty sure that Childers will pip Hayes.
Very poor transfer to Ryan too, thought he would have done better there.
They mentioned something earlier about some of the counting having been done in advance but not sure how that works
Costello’s transfers won’t go to Childers.
They’ve done plenty of the counting already. They just weren’t allowed release them until 10. So they had a few done and ready to go. But the other constituencies thought the moratorium gave them a handy excuse to call it a night early.
Shambolic. If it can be done in the RDS it can be done elsewhere - they’ve had two day ffs sake.
She will get some on gender grounds alone. It’s the Murphy transfers that look like they will go to Childers (based on where Murphy’s went).
I would’ve thought a lot of the Murphy transfers would be null ( going to Smith)?
Midlands North West first count not expected until tomorrow lunchtime. Joke.
Good description earlier of the constituencies as “Rest of Ireland 1” and “Rest of Ireland 2”. Ming has probably done so well as he’s the only candidate people have heard of. Sinn Fein have done extremely well to get a stooge like Matt Carthy elected. He came accross as a completely gormless simpleton on Vincent Browne
Transfers go to the next available candidate. They don’t end if your #2 is eliminated.
Murphy has 39,000. You would think Childers will dominate those. Its all going to boil down to the Fianna Fail transfers then. Ryan & Childers jostling for them will help Hayes. Ultimately reckon Ryan and Hayes will make it.
Unless you’ve only voted 1 & 2 as the anti-austerity candidates.
Yeah and there will be a chunk of those, or people who went SF next and no further.
That’s fairly obvious MI.
How does Boylan’s surplus get selected? Do they pick out a random amount of votes from her overall vote?

@Rocko please confirm re: above.
FAO @TreatyStones and other interested parties.
Emmett O’Brien (with a huge over the quota surplus) and Tom Neville elected on the first count in the Rathkeale/Adare area. Counting suspended for the night and will resume at 9am to determine the last four seats.
Must admit I love watching RTE around election time.
Great tv earlier when newly elected TD Coppinger tore that gormless clown Timmy Dooley a new one in the studio debate.
Hayes and Childers elected.
Ryan has requested a recount
