    Anyone predict Farrell would get in?
    Never mind get a huge 1st preference vote.

    Opinion polls were wrong again, particularly the TG4 one

    NOT tweeted last night that he may still have an outside outside chance of getting a seat?

    He conceded yesterday!

    Both he and Connolly got a massive transfer from elimination of McNelis.
    It's probably he'll finish 6th

    He'll most likely pass Kyne but will be finished off by the Kyne transfers going to HN.

    Count re-starts 09:30
    We should have the five seats filled in the afternoon, barring any recounts

    As he has been for the last decade and has done nothing to materially progress the ring road (it's not a bypass), or improve our dire lamp post situation.

    Returning officer telling supporters to take down the tricolour. Doubt she's a Sinn Fein supporter

    Don't see it mentioned, but O'Cuiv, Grealish and Farrell have been elected.

    Whoever do the Polls for TG4 need to have a long hard look at themselves and possible consider a refund.

    it looks like everyone who said they were giving Niall O Tuathaill or Pauline green a number 1 gave it to Mareid Farrell instead.

    Would be interesting to see where her number 2s would have gone.

    Definitely messed up missing the Grealish vote.

    Anyone else notice the OC posters have been taken down but the other FF posters left up... surely they'd take all the party ones down once the ladder is out?

    Jealous much...?

    Yeah I noticed that all of Crowe's posters and billboards were gone on my way into work this morning. It must have taken them a good while!

    Ya my mistake. Seen it reported on Twitter but was thinking the surpluses would have to be divided

    Fairly sure they all hire their own team to do the postering.

    How much storage space would you need to store all those Crowe signs and wooden platforms?

    If any candidate is going to hold a bonfire homecoming after getting elected, we know where to get plenty of fuel for the fire.

    So Ollie has a team (presumably FF supporters) taking down his posters then FF send a second team around taking down the party posters...?

    Seems like madness. I thought the party would have just sent the local candidate a load of party posters.

    Ó Tuatháil eliminated.
    Only 90 votes between him and next candidate Kyne.

    I dont think any flags are allowed in the count center. It would be like a football stand otherwise.

    Iv seen them in many other count centres she even told the crowd to refrain from any shouting hollering or suchlike till she was finished . What did she expect? The first SF candidate elected since 1922 give them their moment for heavens sake
