RTE Exit Poll - the detailed results?

DeepBlue

RTE did an exit poll on polling day of (I think) about 3,000 voters. It was mentioned briefly during the coverage of the election counts by John Bowman when he was interviewing Dr Richard Sinnott from UCD who had conducted the poll but Bowman kept interrupting to go to announcements of count results.

The poll seemed to be interesting as it asked voters for the reasons as to why they had cast their vote as they had. Many commentators and politicians have given snap judgements on the swings in the last few days of the campaign - everything from the tv debate to "breakfast roll man" is given as a reason but this poll might throw more light on the actual causes.

Does anyone know if the results of this poll are available anywhere or if there has been any further discussion of it in the media?
