FG: 60

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.
