    Not impressed with my own constituency, Carlow/Kilkenny, FF are 1st & 3rd at the moment. That is not good - although Mary White is definitely not getting back in again

    In the politics forum, its reported that on radio 1 it said that its likely that brian lenihan will keep his seat.

    WHAT THE FCUK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE voting for this man to continue as a finance minister if FF get in. BL cannot do his sums for fcuk sake.

    Sean Haughey likely to lose his seat - it will be the first time in 54 years that a Haughey family member will not be in the Dail. Class :D:D

    Lack of credible alternative, FG second candidate is not up to much. Second Labour candidate and Sinn Féin candidate are splitting the rest of the vote. Lenihan still has a core vote and should have enough to hold on.

    That is not good. FF numbers climbing. Will the country start riotting if FF get back in?

    One constituency that hasn't even finished counting yet and you're already readying the Molatov's?

    And?

    FF were always going to get some seats, analysts have been saying this for months. Some people vote along party lines no matter what.

    From RTE:
    1816 Trinity Students' Union says hundreds of students who registered to vote in two on-campus drives in recent months were unable to cast their ballots today.

    1,800 registered in the first round of the on campus initiative, and almost 900 registered in a second round. TCD Students Union has received hundreds of calls from concerned students claiming that the paperwork was never processed by Dublin City Council and they were unable to vote.

    that's ridiculous.

    Glad to see this type of thread on AH'S,As it gives me the opportunity to voice my delight at FG'S Election Success although they may not be in government it is still a relative success.

    I am also happy that despite been banned from Politics for giving my point of view I can now share my views here,Cheers.

    Whats RTE's obsession with giving health warnings today? Worried that all their fears might will come true

    Ps, early tallys on Donegal SW, bye bye Mary.

    Absolutely delighted to see Mary Hanafin lose her seat (hopefully anyway) - they are a shower of gangsters, that family.

    Meath West: Christian Solidarity Party's Manus McMeanmain says he's very unhappy that his party logo wasn't on the ballot paper and was instead represented by an image that he claims looks like a picture of nuts.

    That's what happens when you preach bóllocks :D

    If Fine Gael and Labour end up in government together, several constituencies look like having no Opposition TD.

    Will this be a serious problem - I wonder
