    Based on first-preference votes on Boards.ie/Vote, counting the leading x number of candidates where x is the number of seats in that constituency, here is what I counted. I am missing five seats somewhere, I can't spot where, but it counts up to 161 instead of 166 seats.
    FG: 60
    LAB: 48
    SF: 24
    IND: 19
    PBP: 4
    GP: 3
    SWP: 2
    FF: 1
    It's quite different to the bar-graph on the results page. Of course it'll all change greatly once we get the STV results.
    All the same, as it stands, Labour are a lot closer to Fine Gael than I had hoped, and FF are lucky to get a seat at all (Micheal Martin will be having his parliamentary party meetings in a phone-box).
    Feel free to update the tally daily.
