[Tetro Kornbluth]

Your guess is as good as mine.

In other counts Boyd Barrett (PBP) first to be elected in Dun Laoghaire, Toibin (SF) second to be elected in Meath West, Mary Lou McDonald (SF) first in Dublin Central and Leo Vardakar (FG) first in Dublin West.

Tethro, what site do you use for this?

[YL]

Trot takes the lead in Don Laoghaire, but nobody past the quota yet.

Now elected.

Count 6, quota 14,810, 4 seater but one of them is the sitting Ceann Comhairle so only 3 seats

Boyd-Barrett (AAA-PBP) 15,718 elected
Bailey (FG) 12,422
O'Connor (FG) 12,393
Hanafin (FF) 10,221
Smyth (Lab) 7,165 to be eliminated

Presumably this means the two FGers will be elected.

Is there any chance Social Democrats might end up with more seats than Labour? That would be a nice silver lining to this whole mess.

Does that mean a narrow loser could challenge the result, Winchester 1997 style?

in an STV election especially, that could change the result to a surprising extent. Could a defeated candidate try and declare the result in DBS void? Let's hope so!

It would be absolutely hilarious if nothing else...

STV elections take forever to count. Any idea when we're going to get the final result?

Tomorrow evening.
Maybe Monday.
Maybe after that.

Third seat goes to Catherine Martin of the Green Party.

[Vosem]

Dublin Rathdown is the second constituency to finish. First seat goes to independent Shane Ross, as expected; second seat goes to Fine Gael (not to incumbent Alan Shatter, but rather his running-mate Josepha Madigan); and, out of completely nowhere, the last seat goes to Green Party candidate Catherine Martin.

Outstanding result for the Greens

Means I voted for a winner. Not sure what to feel about that.

[afleitch]

Sinn Fein will be praying for a FG/FF coalition.

For a start we can exclude any possibility of Sinn Fein or the Greens taking it...
