I was driving through Clontarf yesterday (I stopped in Nolan’s to get some esoteric ingredients for a recipe) and I noticed a large number of O Muirí posters still up. I thought that’s odd, forumite @Bandage said he was taking them down the other day but that clears it up.
I think he will. I reckon he’ll do relatively well from Grace O’Sullivan’s transfers & will stay ahead of Ni Mhurcu before she’s eliminated. I don’t think she’ll pick up enough from John Mullins before that to get ahead of him. Think the top five now will be elected.
McNamara being gone out of the dail will be a loss. He’s a genuinely independent voice of opposition and he seems to do it without resorting to excessive banging of his head or hamming up the roaster schtick
I’d say Wallace will be squeezed out on the last count. Kelleher a surplus likely to lift Cynthia past him and I’d say O’Sullivans votes will go more to Cynthia than Wallace
5.4% and 3.5%. Paltry enough numbers in the scheme of things, thankfully, but you never know what a GE vote would get.
Johnny Mythen in Wexford got 818 votes in the LEA in Enniscorthy in 2019, 3.7% and didnt get a council seat when there was 6 available. 8 months later he went for the GE in Wexford, polled 18,717 votes, romped home in first with 17% of available votes. And he pure useless. A traffic cone would be more effective.
