    And who, may I ask would be your alternative?

    If Caligula's horse could be persuaded to stand, he would do better than Scanlon. "The Neighs have it Ceann Comhairle".

    Turnout was about 2/3. In line with the rest of the country.

    It's on the 7th count now with the leading candidate (McSharry) just under 3000 short of the quota. It's not looking like any of them are going to reach it which would leave us with 4 TDs who didn't get enough votes representing us. Just goes to show how p1ss poor our selection of candidates were.

    This is so tight now for the fourth seat it's tough to call. Will come down to 8's, 9's and maybe even further down the line if people voted that far.
    Scanlon to creep over the line after a recount if I was to put money on it. But there'll be less than 100 votes in it either way.

    Yeah it may go to a recount? But they don't normally change anything - so which one gets the most votes tonight will have it I think.

    Agree totally! Just saying I fully expect a recount. Even Reynolds representative on the radio saying there'll be 30/40 votes between them in the end.
    With the candidates the transfers will be coming from I would expect that to favour Scanlon, but whether it will be enough to bridge the gap is up for debate.

    Just want to say I've enjoyed the debate on the election with everyone here, and while we may not agree on who deserves or doesn't deserve a seat, their achievements or failures, I bare no ill will! We're all entitled to our opinions and that's the beauty of democracy.

    There we have it. 4 candidates elected for Sligo/Leitrim constituency are:
    1. Marc MacSharry (FF)
    2. Martin Kenny (SF)
    3. Tony McLoughlin (FG)
    4. Eamon Scanlon (FF)
    Amazing that FF regain the two seats they lost in 2011. SF retain their seat and FG lose one of theirs.

    As a Ballymote man abroad I was following with a sort of impotence..

    Delighted to see Perry gone. He gave me a job when I was 14/15 and is a friendly guy but a fücking shyster. A greedy gobshyte who mad a total fool of himself.

    As for bubble Scanlon getting back in... How short are people's memories. Ah well.. :-/

    7 days from the day of the election.

    Rarely anything more cliched and annoying than people giving out about posters. I can only imagine how personally affected you were by the posters however...

    They're not nonsensical and pointless. I bet everyone who says they 'don't work' are the same people claiming to be impervious to advertising. It's not tradition that keeps those posters going up, its effectiveness in creating name and face recognition.

    What's annoying, nonsensical and pointless is the repeated faux outrage every election. Everyone knows the posters going up are for a finite and short amount of time.

    They're legal litter and serve no purpose. Add them to all the rubbish thats put through our letterboxes and ask yourself how much mre face recognition do we need?
    Has anyone ever voted for someone because of a poster?

    I'd be in favour of banning them. Clearly they do serve a purpose or the parties wouldn't spend thousands and thousands on them, however if they were banned everywhere it would be fair for everyone.

    Social media and knocking the doors should be enough to get your message across.

    People actually voted him back in? I was actually hoping Reynolds would have got in before him. I know several people who didn't actually know he was a serving TD. Has he delivered anything substatial for the €688,000 he cost us over the last 5 years?
