Sully

Count 1 - 16/24 boxes open. They are St. Pauls,, Ballybeg, Ursline, St. Josephs. South - Ward 3. This is how its looking so far;

11% - Willie Moore
9.6% - Cullinane
9.2% - Tom Murphy
8.4% John Cummins
7.2% - Cha O'Neill
5.2% Donnie Fell
4.7% Mary O'Halloran
2.4% Elaine Walsh.

Sully

Count 1 - Completed. They are St. Pauls, Ballybeg, Ursline, St. Josephs. South - Ward 3. This is how its looking so far;

John Halligan - 1410 (Exceeded Quota, Elected)
Seamus Ryan - 974
Cullinane - 580
Willie More - 545
John Cummins - 538
Cha O'Neill - 459
Mary O'Halloran - 361
Donie Fell - 309
Elaine Wlash - 137
Senthil Ramasamy - 27

nkay1985

Final Tally results in. Looks like my Dad is in trouble in ward 1.

Hillary Quinlan - 956
Pat Hayes - 921
Dick Roche - 616
Joe Kelly - 554
Davy Walsh - 526
Liam Dunne - 291
Gearoid Ryan - 218
Oli Dempsey - 155
Sethil Ramasamy - 23

Looks like it's a fight for the fouth seat on transfers and I'm afraid that I think Davy Walsh will get it by about 25 votes.


John Cummins in with a good shout in the South. If they managed the vote and Mary O'Halloran will transfer into him.

Sully

Final tally? You seem to be leaving out candidates there..

AdMMM

Thanks for the counts, I'm in the dark here in Dublin. Everyone is in the count centre and I can't get through to them. I'm quite pleased with that

I'm absolutely shocked with Cullinanes poll. Going to be interesting to see how everything works out down there...

Willie Moore will have hit Cullinane hard he does a hell of a lot of community work in the ballybeg area.

I'm listening to that, but I'm working so I only get to it every few minutes. Trying to record it but Dell seem to only provide a sound driver that doesn't allow you to record sounds from your laptop.

I have results ill post shortly. Bare with me while I put them together.

This whole process is just embaressingly slow,bring back e-voting

Walsh Elected according to RTE.

The quota is 947.

Ivory, Michael - michael - 143 174

The Michael Party eh? :P

Thanks very much for the quotes. I'm looking forward to some post-election analysis and number crunching.

Roanmore

Looking at those results it looks like (my own opinion) in addition to those elected:

City North: Walsh, Roche

City South: Cullinane, Cummins, Moore

City East: Cunningham, Darcy, Wyse, Roche

Last seat is too close to call in each ward, Should be an interesting night.

The above are in no particular order

Trotter

Looking ahead to later, are we looking at a battle between Hayes and Kelly for the last East seat? Am I right in thinking she'll have more votes transferred to her than the SF candidate?

I think it's too early to really predict where transfers in subsequent counts will go. Traditionally I would say that Kelly would struggle for transfers given that there'll be a lot of transfers to be distributed from Fianna Fail candidates. I'd imagine Hayes will benefit greatly from Tobins elimination. It really is all to play for.

Wyse? Looks like an extreme outside chance.

Thought hard about that alright but there are 3 FF guys going to get eliminated before him, they might transfer big.

Transfer what? FF is being wiped out.

Must say Tom Cunningham handled himself very well on the radio there. The issue of the pact was brought up and he said that he expected it to continue. Liz Reddy proposed that surely a vote of 1400 to John Halligan would mean that he should be considered for the role of mayor. Tom agreed, in a sense, but suspected that John would now be able to contribute more positively to the decisions of the Council now that he's not limited by the narrow focus of a party like the Workers Party. So in a few sentences he gave a relatively good explanation for the existence of the pact, took a pot-shot at the Workers Party and made a public appeal for John to join the pact!

decies

There will be no Wyse man in my ward thanks very much :cool:

Collectively they have enough votes between them to steal a seat, but that's assuming their "relay race" strategy works and that voters voted 1-4 FF. It's when people gave their second preferences to other parties that the possibility will fall asunder. I do agree that it's an outside chance though.

merlante

FF are in with a good chance in East. Three power bases competing for the last seat: FG, FF & SF/WP. Think it's between FG and FF. FF have a lot of the vote but if everyone transfers against them, they'll be kept out.

I'd say Walsh, Cunnignham, Darcy, Kelly, Roche, Daniels or 1xLab, 3xFG, 2xInd.

Intriguing fight ahead.

Roanmore

Don't ya just love elections.

AdMMM

Michael Ivory has just been eliminated.

Cunningham +15 - 656
Darcy +17 - 908
Hayes +8 - 424
Ivory + 13 - 194
Keating + 10 - 234
Kelly + 9 - 415
O'Neill - 305 (missed how much she was transfered)
Wyse +8 - 346
Tobin +16 - 402
Pat Ormond - 247 (missed how much transfered)
Roche +21 - 557.

So Ivory's votes will be distributed. I think Roche will benefit from this as will the FF's, given Ivory was with them before. I think Ivory's votes will transfer to Ormond better than they would to Stephanie Keating so she will be the next to be eliminated.

AdMMM

Tom Murphy eliminated. He's not happy with his party and understandably so.

Now where his votes will be distributed is anyone's guess! Willie Moore and Cha O'Neill are within one vote of each other standing at 732 and 731 respectively! I think we'll be losing Moore from that ward on the next count unless both Cha and Willie manage to leapfrog some other candidate.

Roanmore

Who's left in South? RTE website is rubbishm still have only first count.

Roanmore

Roche and Walsh take the last two in City North

Sully

No more figures at hand yet but I can confirm cha oneill and john cummins are elected in south as willie more is eliminated. Phones acting up so its not going tp type out.

Waterford City Council. Final Count. 2 Wards.

North - Ward 1
Dunne, Liam - Fianna Fáil - 324 Eliminated
Kelly, Joe - Sinn Féin - 665 685 Eliminated
Ryan, Gearoid - Fianna Fáil - 220 Eliminated
Walsh, Davy - The Workers' Party - 631 752 Elected
Roche, Dick - Independent - 725 822 Elected

South - Ward 3
Cullinane, David - Sinn Féin - 785 825 912 Elected
Cummins, John - Fine Gael - 638 840 943 Elected
Moore, Willie - The Workers' Party 715 732 824 Eliminated
Murphy, Tom - Fianna Fáil - 676 706 Eliminated
O'Halloran, Mary - Fine Gael - 447 Eliminated
Oneill, Cha - Independent - 627 731 880 Elected

Ward missing as the figures I have are incomplete and the count is ongoing - Missing names are more then likely eliminated, if not let me know. Hopefully its accurate, if any mistakes are found let me know. nkay1985 can verify for me, assuming hes still counting!

dlofnep

Weird election.. Didn't expect John Cummins to get in, but fair play to the lad. It's a shame Joe has lost his seat - he was a good worker in Waterford.

Trotter

Any news on Waterford East? Its been very quiet for a few hours on that one.

Roanmore

As a local radio station WLR are a disgrace, no town council results on their website and very slow with the City ouncil ones. God forbid a local radio station would be on top of local issues.

AdMMM

I actually text in to applaud them on their coverage. They've covered all counts and have had interviews and commentary with most of the candidates. I've been listening to the stream whenever I've had a chance. Their website is managed by an external company and only a few people within WLR can update it with basic items. Given it's a weekend and past working hours, it would cost tens of thousands to run an effective website dedicated to the elections. I don't see why a radio station should pay that given their primary medium is the radio after all.

Not much good to me when I'm depending on their wesite for election results. They did advertise on their site that they would have comprehensive coverage. I'll take your word for it.

East ward in waterford being re counted as requested by catherine oneill. Will start at 10am

AdMMM

I'd imagine the recount will offer an entirely different scenerio as will another recount after that.

Roanmore

Why the recount? RTE have Darcy just elected, is there any advance on this?

AdMMM

I imagine it's because they (FF) think the transfers would go their way in a recount or that they were just unlucky transfers played out a certain way. It's pretty much a lucky dip but perhaps they figure there's more favourable outcomes than unfavourable.

Trotter

What makes it likely that O'Neill would benefit from a recount? Arent all transfers considered in the previous count anyway?

Sully

Trotter wrote: »

IIRC, there is a very very small number of votes in the difference which could see her be eliminated. So by ordering a recount, she may regain ground and defeat that possibility.
