Ireland 2009

I usually say Tuh-ree-zah. But might just be me.

Not hot and also a Shinner.

Yes, I believe it's pronounced "Daughter of a convicted gun-runner"....what was that Obama said about lipstick and pigs?

I remember when Alessandra Mussolini looked easy on the eye too...

Looking at Sean Kelly's surplus, it's probably likely that less will transfer to a Cork candidate and so I'd be inclined to think that Ferris will remain ahead of Sinnott on the next count. Should she do so, it's much more likely that Sinnott's full eliminated vote will put Ferris over the top.

So much for that!!! Ferris eliminated and now has 74,480 to transfer. Kelly ahead of Sinnott by 8,753 heading into the Shinner's disribution. Pat Magner on RTE Radio has a point about SF voters thinking of  Sinnott as too right wing for their tastes and labour more likely to pick up preferences than other parties do. Still, Sinnott may pick up on basis of the anti-Lisbon vote. Hard to know but will be interesting to see.
