Separate discussion for the EU election results.
Terrible prospect,but at least she will be no longer be embarrassing Ireland on a European/world stage.
Palestine conflict is of course important, like Ukraine, but worth noting that the candidates that spent most of their time on Palestine didn't do well. SF for example.
Had SF focused more on the issues of Irish voters these last few months I think they'd have done better.
we are a very, very savvy nation when it comes to voting. We always get things SUBSTANTIALLY right and that is the case agin - ESpECIALLY inthe EU elections in Dublin
Ahhh! Poor auld Kremlin Clare. Plenty of time on her hands now though to holiday in Russia, China, Iran etc. Maybe she might stay in one of these countries long enough to criticise the regimes if she doesn’t like their policies. I wonder how she’ll get on……

A wee holiday in Russia where she’s detained for spying for the West would be all kinds of ironic.
I would not hold breath, her history of pro immigration (anti doing anything about migration issues) voting in EU would be a death kiss to political career in a city drowning in tents
Bye Clare, don't let the door hit ya, hopefully Moscow Mick will shuffle off as well. He won't have anyone to hold hands with.
Lynn Boylan and Clare Daly are shills for and in some cases (Boylan) allies to the war criminals Hamas. Boylan didn’t fool me when she appeared in the count centre with a ball of wool and knitting neeedles as if she was some harmless, kind granny. She’s anyghing but, and her parties alliances with terrorist organisations around the world should be a great concern for people with her representing us and possibly betraying our peace loving principles in the EU parliament by compromising her position with such links and communications.
Still a good chance Wallace gets back in, and will probably need a parliamentary assistant - before we think Daly is completely gone
Classy bit of antisemitism thrown in here. Doesn't take long for the mask to slip with these extremist nutters.
sour grapes from Claire with Rte 😂
Worth noting that the Irish flag wavers who said Ireland is full and Ireland for the Irish did much much worse.
I wouldn't say a good chance, but certainly still a chance.
But I don't care if Daly is there as an assistant. It's annoying that tax goes towards funding that, but I can get over it. At least she isn't used as a shill for dictatorial regimes as a "representative" of Ireland.
Is Niall Boylan going to win a seat? I am not following too closely. Did the last Euro election take this long??
she went for the loudest most evil of all group speak, the russian.
Unfortunately looks like he won't
Vanishingly unlikely. Expectation is Cuffe will be the next eliminee and it would defy reason for his transfers not to massively favour O'Riordain over Boylan…
FTFY Clare…..
Delighted to see Daly gone. She's an embarrassment to the country. Hopefully Wallace is gone with her.
Have to laugh at her RTE snub. RT is the only place that'll give her airtime now.
Don't agree with her political views, but she's dead right to tell RTE where to go.
Clare Daly regularly refused interviews.
Not a hope given where the transfers are coming from next.
Will RT even have any need for her now?
Time for a holiday with some pals. Hopefully she can bring Mick along.

Looking like hes in a similar position that Niall Boylan was early yesterday hes sitting in 5th and it could go either way depending on transfers, hes in with a chance but far from being safe
No way to be confident either way for at least a good few more counts.
Cuffe gone
18th count. Cuffe eliminated. Less than 3,000 between AOR and Boylan. AOR will get the 4th seat barring one of the biggest political shocks of all time.
And there it is AOR within 2500 votes of Niall Boylan, if Cuffe breaks the way everyone is guessing then Boylan is out
Very few of Cuffes transfers will go to NB. When neither CD or BS went to him in any great number Cuffes definitely should not. AOR is only 2.5k behind, I say he will get 10k+. LB will.only get a couple of K.
