    Seems like Walshe got decimated. Her bubbly videos just weren't enough. I love how she stated she was strong on the Environment and then when questioned on Twitter if she was part of any volunteer groups or initiatives she went totally silent. We hear you Finna Gael, loud and clear.

    Decimated????

    It's not over till the fat lady sings..;-) As they say. Bad day for Fran Fitzgerald, D Clune not looking good. If Ming looses I can seek comfort elsewhere :-)

    Jesus Ming at 10% 😣

    Here's hoping the 4% margin of error works in his favour.

    Would the green party put taxes on everything they see as a threat to the environment?

    Yes. Thats why they'll be back to reality in a GE.

    If his FPV is at that level he'll find it very tough especially as that Green lass is looking very transfer friendly. Down to Dom, FF I'd say and maybe Casey will get the last shout in picking the 4th seat! Fitzgerald will probably be OK and I don't know why Clune was in it.

    She matched Luke "Ming" Flanagan in the exit poll.

    She has McGuinness' surplus to help her as well.

    Walsh will be in the shake-up for the last seat.

    They might do. It is looking like we might need something like that. That's the reality of it.

    I think they'll be looked at instead of Indos by some voters. Could get a decent few seats.

    +/- 3% MOE in the poll. He was on 17% the last time so not a lot. Ming seems to have lost half and may be in trouble.


    If that exit poll is accurate Carthy is down 2.7%. Anyone else and you would still look at him as a shoo in, but with SF and transfers........

    He'll be OK if that's his FPV. Quota will probably be about 19% or so and he'll pick up some lefty stuff and even some FF stuff. Apart from maybe Walsh nobody looks like they can pass him.

    Why do you imagine Green means extra tax?

    Going by this the could have a big say in next election. We are doing the right thing voting green until the taxes hit hard.

    McHugh has that MNW seat IMO. A margin of error of 4% is pretty massive though so could be some surprises yet. When will results be announced?

    9% would definitely put Walsh there but it may only be 4 or 5 % which would make it very close

    Greens are the safe option for Euros and Locals. Delighted to see the main parties getting a kicking though, they are smug and need a wake up call.

    I am not sure if the Green vote would translate much in a GE, but you never know these days. Green is good and climate change is high on the agenda.

    First seats Sunday night, most Monday, and the longer counts for final seats into Tues and Weds I'd guess.
