So far, of the handful of completed voted counting constituencies, I haven't found a single case where the elected members were any different than the first count finishers. In other words, the results wouldn't be different had a Single Non-transferable ballot been used. I'm wondering how often the tranferable part plays a roll, and pushes someone ahead to win a seat when they were trailing for that seat after the first count. I know in Australia House of Rep single seat districts its often the Green vote that pushes Labour candidates ahead of National or Liberal candidates in some districts, but how often in Ireland is it significant.
