Separate discussion for the EU election results.
I don’t know you well enough to make that judgment.
you absolute tease
Nice to see Wallace and Daly gone
Rob pension funds?
Boylan kept her seat.
Niall
Oh. He didn't get elected, and never had a seat in the first place.
Thank all our gods.
Michael McNamara (IND), Kathleen Funchion (SF) and Cynthia Ní Mhurchú (FF) elected as MEPs in the South
Sean Kelly (FG) topped the poll in the first count while Billy Kelleher (FF) elected after count 18 to pass the quota
The Centre holds.
Daly AND Wallace gone. There is a god.
Sit on the 400k and then go for the general election.
Still a nice amount of money for the outgoing MEPs

Daly and Wallace will rise from the dead. Putin's money can do wonders. A bit of roubles and they wouldn't need sprayed holy water
€51k before tax?
Not a lot really.
Ming’s transfers all come from the Toibin transfers that tipped Ming over the quota. Tobin transferred much more strongly to Mullooly than to Gildernew, so would assume a similar pattern in his transfers that went to Ming first
He can go back to viticulture, I suppose.
There is a housing crisis. Mick, the Flower of Life, can do some fundraising and develop some housing estates
Cynthia is the fourth Eurovision alumnus to become an MEP, following on from Iva Zanicchi from Italy (sung in the 1969 contest, MEP between 2008 and 2014), Greek singing legend Nana Mouskouri (sung for Luxembourg in 1963, MEP 1994 to 1999) and our own Dana.
Which is why I asked for what particular scanners you had in mind. Was your first answer to this completely wrong then?
The scanners that you have in mind wouldn't have any input or output paper trays, right? So we're talking about scanning hundreds of thousands of individual papers, manually handling each one into and out of the scanner?
It's only 50k each
Awe OK.
Yes I suppose that makes sense.
Just seen photo of MLMD from the Ireland South count. Anyone else think that she looks very unwell? Not sure her health has been great for a while
I replied that any would do as, as you found, any would do. The technology is the same, they can all do it.
But regardless - why would they be using consumer grade scanners? They would work, as I've shown; but would be inappropriate.
Why on earth are you obsessing about this when you've been shown to be entirely wrong?
Find another issue rather than digging, digging and digging yourself in to an ever bigger hole trying to be right about something you knew nothing about.
Both MLMD and O Broin have had significant medical issues (that have been revealed to the public) within the last ~18 months.
Carberry becoming a MEP is gas altogether.
Never mind nor taking part in any of the debates she didn't show up at the count centre all week.
Have to give Ming credit where its due he was there everyday.
If you had the stress of becoming one of "The disappeared" on you, you wouldn't look so great yourself.
I don't think we'll see nor hear much of her for the next five years either.
This election of Carberry is baffling, obviously FG handlers knew she was completely out of her depth so kept her away from the airways and out of the media, left her off bouncing around the constituency visiting nursing homes and the like, drinking tea and dancing a few sets. Obviously worked a treat but as for exactly what she will be able to bring to hard negotiations at a European level, we have no idea as we haven’t seen or heard anything from her. Sadly FG have seen it work before with Maria Walsh so expect more of this type of candidate & campaign model from all parties in future elections ☹️
She regained her seat not kept, lost it in 2019.
