    4 Seats with 18 people looking to fill the seats!

    How do you see it going?

    Can see these as shoe-ins Helen McEntee (FG) ,Thomas Byrne (FF),Darren O’Rourke (SF).

    4th seat is a tough call but think it will be an Indepedent between Toole or Bonner I think.

    Darren O'Rourke, Thomas Byrne, Maria White and Joe Bonner.

    I think McEntee will lose out and that there will be no seat for FG with SF picking up 2.

    Turn out will be key though. A bright crisp day is required for SF to make those gains.

    I think the 3 sitting TDs followed by Toole. She topped the poll in the locals.

    Could be a good call but i think McEntee will struggle, Toole done very well aswel as Bonner in the locals so im saying

    Thomas Byrne (FF),Darren O’Rourke (SF),Joseph Bonner (IND) and Gillian Toole (IND).

    McEntee will struggle, Tolan will lose a lot of votes due to the ditch running that piece on her over the weekend, Thomas Byrne will walk it, Toole should do well as she topped the polls, White is a bully & hopefully gets her arse handed to her, O'Rourke will do well & most likely secure his seat, Balfe; not a hope, no real idea about the others but had no idea there were 18 candidates in all.

    FG usually poll well in Meath so I would be shocked if McEntee lost her seat to be honest.
