Dread Pirate John Scab🚫It'll be interesting to see how many votes from the elimination of the candidate from the law and order party break for Hutch
Joan's Addiction 😷I've been a bit busy, but - thanks to @gavreilly - HABEMUS count spreadsheets for Dublin Central and Galway West! \o/
#DubC - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1US18ZgI6Ix60blkP8hgZ_jOC9NKjhaNyrnvjfTkyzqw/edit?gid=1080210474#gid=1080210474
#GalW - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hSWKnWj5LDwx_dluW4y5fsKagtMar43KJ_uAQclgeY0/edit?gid=1617699714#gid=1617699714
No spreadsheet (yet 🤞🏼), but the RTÉ News count page has gone live - *it's happening*

@gavreilly Will there also be spreadsheets for the #DubC and #GalW counts? 🤞🏽 🗳️
@allancavanagh @gavreilly It is - he's not my first choice, but I'm happy that it's him rather than the Shinners, a crime boss, or any of the fash. (Some of them doing far too well, though, which is a worry.)
Looks like it's between FG and Ind Ireland in Galway West - I'd love if the Labour candidate could make it, but it doesn't look like she'd be able to catch them.
At this point and based on tallies so far, @gavreilly is calling #DubC for Daniel Ennis of the Soc Dems.
@janwwbosch It really is. @gavreilly put it this way a few minutes ago:
"With 55% of boxes tallied in Dublin Central, Fianna Fáil's John Stephens has just 2.3%, and has lost over half of the vote taken by his party in the 2024 GE.
"Unless the other half of boxes are more favourable to him, that would be the lowest share of the vote ever won by Fianna Fáil in a Dáil poll."
😬
