    I missed Kavanagh when reckoning the transfers. Gogarty should leapfrog Casserly, which will eliminate her. Her transfers won't elect Higgins, so the next elimination will be one of Curran, Kenny or Gogarty. If Kenny can overtake Curran on Kavanagh's or Casserly's transfers then Curran could lose out.

    Then, Curran benefits
    who?

    You would expect Casserly to transfer heavily to Higgins

    Depends on where VC transfers go. Gogarty may get more from VC than higgins. Gogarty not dead tet

    Good point. I forgot that both are Lucan based. Might play a role in the transfer pattern

    Well, I'm not sorry for Curran, but I'm very sorry Higgins got in. I'm surprised and delighted for Gino.

    What you mean is ‘the people don’t think the same as me’

    Because O Brion and Kenny are excellent public representatives. Ward has been decent at local level and Higgins is a new comer. Let’s see what she’s like now

    and I say that as someone who didn’t give any of them their first preference

    Bit of a roller coaster there. He's only 59 so fully expect him to make another run come next election

    Somebody posted it earlier in the thread. It was based on tallies I think but they're very accurate.

    Now the government is formed and 3/4 TDs elected wanted nothing to do with it, do we think these representatives are a benefit to the area?

    A better way of asking that question is what can members of a government do for an area and what examples can you give of it working in the past

    The last 10 years we got alot of sport facilities out of it. Fitzgerald pushed for alot of it with the Councillors from various parties or independents.

    There is f*** all going there in the next five years. I guess I suppose it was worth it to give the "establishment" a bloody nose.

    A posh careerist champagne socialist without a clue, a dope who tried to scam a homeless house and a stoner. Great choices.

    I didn't vote for SF or FG. I gave Gino a preference, not #1. I do not feel Higgins will bring any more benefit to the constituency, directly or indirectly, than the others. Nor did Fitzgerald before her.

    I did not feel confidence in any candidates based on combination of party and individual ability, and found voting difficult this time. Overall I think we have exceptionally weak GE candidates in the constituency, apart from Eoin O'Broin. Some very good local reps, but I don't personally see them performing effectively in the Dail either if elected. I have low expectations of the current lot, but not really much more confidence that those who lost out would be any better, even the ones I voted for.
