Results Table

Fine Gael6
Labour6(+1: Shortall, Dub NW)
Independents  3
United Left2
Fianna Fáil1
Sinn Féin1
Greens0

Looks like 2 Lab, 1 SF in Dub NW.
The most left wing result in an Irish constituency ever.
And the first time Labour would get 2 seats in a 3-seater.

One question for those more knowledgeable than I: it was about five or six hours before the first count was announced. As the ballot boxes have already been assembled, why does it take so long in comparison with a country like Britain, where some can can gather up the boxes and then count them inside of two or three hours?

Practice varies by count centre, but usually the first count takes so long because ballots are not just counted, but counted and then sorted by second preference before the first count is declared.

I'd also say it's quite possibly the case that we have fewer people actually counting in the average count centre than in the UK.

Turns out, contrary to my predictions, that Michael McNamara (Lab) in Clare did manage quite the vote haul Smiley

Micheál Martin, FF leader, re-elected in Cork SC just getting over the quota on Count 1.
Only FF candidate to top the poll so far today.

Oooh.
RTÉ Radio just interupted the start of an interview with the Taoiseach, to go to the Mayo count. That's gotta hurt.

Repeating a question I asked in the now-closed thread on this election:

"How many seats would SF probably need to win to have 20 seats in the Oireachtas (Dáil Éireann + Seanad Éireann) once the Seanad elections have taken place?  I asssume none will be Taoiseach's nominees. Smiley  20 members of the Oireachtas are enough to nominate a candidate for President, and the next Irish presidential election will be held in October assuming Mary McAleese serves out her term.

Sorry, don't know.
The maths of the Seanad Election are beyond me without quite a bit of research.

Quote from: Kevinstat on February 26, 2011, 02:44:21 PM
Could Gerry Adams vote to nominate himself or would SF need to win 20 seats besides his to get him on the ballot without relying on support outside SF?"

Yes, he could vote to nominate himself.

Quote from: Kevinstat on February 26, 2011, 02:44:21 PM
Also, can someone tell me how likely/certain Sinn Féin would nominate a candidate for President if they had the votes to?  

It would be very surprising to me if they didn't.

Kenny & Ring have just won in Mayo - looks like Fine Gael will get two more there & that Fianna Fail will keep their seat too.

65% overall for Fine Gael - expected, but still pretty impressive.

If FG take 4 from 5 in Mayo, as seems quite possible, it'll be the first time ever in Ireland a party has taken 4 in a 5-seater.

Trevor Sargent is eliminated in Dublin N - effectively guaranteeing the end of 22 years of Green Party representation in the Dáil.

Indeed. 2FG, 1 FF, 1 SF with FG v SF for the final seat- hard to call.

In Dublin South - it's looking like FG could deliver 3 seats from 5 with just 36% of the vote.

Kerry South could become the first constituency to elect 2 independents in 60 years (Dublin NE in 1951).
