real election drama in #dublin #IrelandElection
Subsequent to my last statement, turns out that the Monk lost on the last count in Dublin Central thanks to transfers from Mary Fitzpatrick of Fianna Fáil to Marie Sherlock of Labour.
Not for the first time, I'm incredibly glad we have PR-STV instituted in our electoral system. Saved us from a huge embarrassment; it's still embarrassing that he was allowed to run in the first place, though.
I'm not covering #IrelandElection, but if you're looking for coverage then I recommend this account:

Ireland can be an absolute clown country sometimes.
Os yw Sinn Fein yn dod yn gyntaf neu'n ffurfio rhan o lywodraeth y De am y tro cyntaf ers canrif, fe newidiff yr ynysoedd hyn am byth.
If Sinn Fein come first or form part of the government in the South for the first time in a century, these islands will never be the same again.
Ireland's general election sees a close race between the centre-right and Sinn F in.
