    You can ask that of every outgoing TD.

    Fouund this. First preference votes for each candidate. Some interesting and slightly surprising results.

    People actually voted him back in? I was actually hoping Reynolds would have got in before him. I know several people who didn't actually know he was a serving TD. Has he delivered anything substatial for the €688,000 he cost us over the last 5 years?

    Plus, he's 72. Apparently it's a good quality in a public representative to do absolutely nothing for 5 years. I voted FG, and still left him off the ballot paper. Whatever you say about MacSharry or Kenny and the parties they represent, at least they're relatively young and may be of some use to the constituency.

    McLoughlin is none of these things. Neither, quite frankly is Scanlon and I'm from Ballymote.

    They're legal litter and serve no purpose. Add them to all the rubbish thats put through our letterboxes and ask yourself how much mre face recognition do we need?
    Has anyone ever voted for someone because of a poster?

    I found a good use for some discarded ones a few elections ago - they are great for keeping the weeds from growing on my veg boxes over the autumn/winter months -
    They don't disintegrate and block out all they light - it was also satisfying to face the candidates mug muck down ;)

    Otherwise I agree, don't see the point to them at all, if anything they sublimibly put me off voting for someone!

    Does anyone know if there's a breakdown of the 1st preferences by polling station. The Champion did it for the last election.

    Ocean had the tallies per booth, not sure about the actual count. But they would be fairly close.

    That's what I wanted. I had a quick look through Ocean's site but cant find it. Maybe they've taken it down. Not all that important. Just curiosity about my own area.

    Could we be heading for Rd2 in the 2016 Election, seems no one can agree to work with Enda and FG.

    So next question is who will run, will the Indos have the funds or the heart, will Renua put anyone forward following their disastrous performance first time round, will the usual candidates/suspects turn out for FG/FF/SF?

    Will we have the canvassers, posters, and debates again?

    Interesting times.

    Why is there some Seanad posters up around town? The general public can't vote on it so how are posters allowed up?

    There was a County council conference in Sligo Park a few weeks ago so there was a certain amount of canvassing going on. The posters just haven't been taken down. Don't know about the legality of them being up ar all.
