Dub13

Anybody have a site that has/will have the results....?

Both www.rte.ie and www.ireland.com have dedicated election/referendum sections.

Luke "Ming" Flanagan got elected in Roscommon. First count too so that big big poster in Castlerea can't have hurt.

Asok

Yeah luke ran a very good campaign and has some good policys fair play to him.

Power turnover in Limerick city - FF drop to 2 seats and took a real hammering on first preferences. 5FG, 4 labour, 6 independents (Limerick does like its independents as a general rule). I assume the old FF-LAB alliance will be dropped in favour of an FG-LAB one unless FG feel like courting some independents. Nothing for the PDs despite Mata's (metaphorical) run around the crescent shopping centre last week.

(and no update on the RTE site or aertel, lazy feckers)

The last edition of the Sindo is the only place I've seen with detailed count results of the local elections. Nothing online. I expect the print editions of tomorrow's papers to do the trick.

Indeed and nothing there for wicklow on either site despite the fact that most of the seats are now filled.
No SF councillors in my ward and FG have gained one there.

Cork

No change in my area. but the RTE website is poor.

When will the Mandrians of Mountrose take a look at the BBC site?

The RTE website is pretty poor.

all the individual city and county council sites have the results of each candidate. the rte website only shows the state of the parties.

Cork

http://www.corkcoco.com/

Has no results.

Come on RTE & Cork County Council - we are in 2004.

They are still counting local election ballots - Eletronic Voting hopefully is on the way.

Limerick CitCo doesn't seem to but I'll take your word that all the competent ones do:)

The Irish Times seems to be a little more up to date than the RTE site (just checked and was pleasantly surprised to see this). No candidates listed there so as AoF said, if you're interested have a gander at the individual coco site.

Galway City council seems to have retained its liking for wacky control for no-one. Looks like the Molloy factor is still alive and well in the wesht. Balance of power is falling to Labour in some areas and SF in others. I guess we can assume that generally means alliances with FG and FF respectively (except maybe in Cork)

FF really took a hammering in Limerick - 12% drop and at 16% /well/ below the Bertie eats babies waterline (nationally they seem to be at or slightly below that line[1]). Hence while its a nice day out for FG and a bit of a bounce back to form, it's unlikely to be particularly indicative of anything in the next general election (not that any of us thought that anyway)


[1]If they get a record lowest vote since they began keeping records they're probably below that line

I've been slogging away at South Dublin's results all day yesterday and am now working on the two recounts here at the RDS as we speak. You can view (could have viewed as they happened) these results on the South Dublin County Council website - http://www.sdublincoco.ie/index.aspx?pageid=1682
The two recounts are only now proceeding and I am starting to see light at the end of the tunnel. It's been a long weekend and if I get to see even half of England v France I'll be happy.

Indeed he did, I am absolutly delighted. He ran a very good campaign and really struck a chord among the electorate and topped the polls. Good to see a new face in among them in Politburo in Roscommon. Was a very wide spectrum of people who bvoted for him. Students, midle aged and pensioners!

Do you pass through castlerea often Sceptre. He had another large poster across from it as well.

Wexford CoCo

I am not 100% sure but Labour have either 0 or 1 seats, with Sinn Fein on 3.

Anyone know?

I'm surprised and delighted to see Socialist Mick Murphy top the poll here in Tallaght.

Seems RTE doesn't realise that the politics is all local. It doesn't even have the names of the politicians elected on the local level on its website coverage. It is very like the 2000 Newgrange event - probably the same tossers in charge. :>

For once I find myself in agreement with Cork.

:eek:

Also reckon there should be a national government-run website with all the counts, local, Euro, and constitution, available to view as well.

Neither of these are working properly at the moment. Pathethic.

alleepally

The Labour seat was probably Ted Howlin, Brendan's brother, and he would have got the last seat in the Wexford District. Not a great return out of 21 seats for a sitting TD . Sinn Fein are probably on course to take Tuomey's(IND) seat at the next GE.

Yep agreed on how poor the RTE site is for the locals. It tells me how many seats each party has got in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown but no names !! As for www.dlrcoco.ie it is pathetic no info at all on the elections.

Anyone know of any other sources that might list the names of those elected?

Zaph

Gandalf, I've just been looking at the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown website myself, I can't believe how bad it is. I stumbled across the names of the 4 Green councillors in an article on politics.ie, but that's about it.

And "Others" appear to be a fairly popular party. I'd like to know how Boyd-Barrett did, but he's lumped in with all the "others" (pardon the pun...;) )

Jaysus I hope the morning papers come up with the goods.
