    First count just in in her constituency. Gonna be a dogfight. She should get in though

    If Luke Moriarty of FF is elected Harney is a gonner. I'd give her a 50/50 chance

    Yes, McDowell and his party going into political oblivion would be some consolation on this abject day.

    Congrats Pat Rabbite truly a great TD, if he goes into power with FF leaders questions in the Dail will be a lot quiter.

    Crowe of Sinn Fein has lost his seat.

    you speaketh the truth. Forget FF/Lab though. Rabbite will have to resign before Labour go into power with FF.


    Sean Crowe losing his seat has been the highlight of my day.

    I don't think so, although he will have to do a lot of explaining and grovelling to his constituents.

    I don't think FF can do it on their own this time, even with Independents, and the only valid alternatives will be Greens, SF and Labour. Greens won't touch FF, FF won't touch SF, so Labour are the obvious choice.

    FG, Labour and Green may scrape together a government, even a minority one. FF/Lab would be a strong majority government.

    It would be a smart move.

    It's really, really pushing it.

    On a good day, it'll be 50 + 20 + 8 = 78, still five seats short. You'd need pretty much all the Independents, on a good day.

    Yes they will if they are asked. They have stated that they would prefere FF out of government but would consider a coalition with them. I hope they do if it comes to that.

    No way labour are going into power with FF if FF need anyone it will be the one or two PDs left or a couple of independents if needs be the Greens but that would be a last resort.
