So who else is following the count. So far have open a twitter feed for the local constituany, RTE live updates, and awaiting programes to start on rte.

Was alittle suprised at 9am to see one seat already won by FF, thinking the first boxes were not opened till 9am, then discovered it was the Ceann Comhairle.

Hmm, what a wonderfull system we have.

:rolleyes:

IS there a central site that has constituence updates? That would be nice.

Cheap Thrills! · 26-02-2011 11:59AM

Oooh look at Pat and his fancy touch screen......Exit poll results!!!

only 8% of Dublin voters gave first preference to FF ha ha ha

Brilliant. Hanafin is in trouble as well.

Micky Dolenz · 26-02-2011 12:16PM

I just hope my two votes can make a difference.

Caoimhín · 26-02-2011 12:17PM

RTE exit poll; 37% of voters consider local candidates/issues to be the most important factor when voting.

I despair, I really do. The thick Irish gombeems deserve to be raped by the Germans/ECB/IMF/Bankers/Bondholders.

Not sure about that one, Donegal SW is quite a strong FF constituancy with 3 seats up for grabs.

But theres always hope.

What I want to know is, is it possible that this is one of the last threads we'll see about the government/elections on AH for a while?

Liber8or · 26-02-2011 12:26PM

Most importantly: did Gerry 'situation' Adams get elected in Louth, and if not, will he blame Unionists?

chicken fingers · 26-02-2011 12:26PM

Looks like a good chance that no FF candidate will get elected in Dublin

Well FG is more of the same so we could be heading to the polls again in 18 months

Is he the drugs guy? If so, well done Roscommon. Cant wait for cannabis to be legalised. Ireland can smoke its way out from the mess. I dont use the stuff but it is a happy drug. Ireland needs it after being sold into slavery for the banks.

I think you need to be invited by a candidate or the party, fairly certain you can not just walk in.

Save to say Docherty will probably have it after the first count.

Pringle to get one of the remaining two? Who to get the other remaining seat?
