    Landsdown exit poll

    FF 24 -8
    FG 34 + 6.5
    Lab 17 + 5.5
    Green 3 -1
    SF 9 + 1
    Ind 13

    Early trends appear to be FG up everywhere, FF holding up in the sticks not the towns.

    According to RTÉ radio, George Lee looks to be elected on the first count in Dublin South and Maureen O'Sullivan (Tony Gregory's heir) looks very likely to take the seat in Dublin Central. Maurice Ahern of FF is trailing in 5th place there.

    Eoin Ryan doing better than pre-election polls but still a huge battle on with transfers going to decide whether Mary Lou or Joe Higgins will be able to steal ahead of Ryan

    Joe Higgins (SP), you mean? Jim Higgins is a FG Euro candidate in the North-West constituency.

    it has nothing though, no projections. all i want to see is how each candidate is doing at the moment is there anything like that about? just a simple
    South Inner City
    Balh x%
    Blah x%

    The Greens seem to be in a very bad way. From what RTE are reporting up to a dozen of their councillors could be in trouble. They are having difficulties in Dublin. Only Mark Deary in Dundalk seems safe.

    Up to 10 former Progressive Democrats appear highly likely to take seats. These include Barry Saul, Mogie Maher, Tom Welby, Bridget Teefey, Rose Brennan, Mary Mitchell O Conner, Declan McDonnell, Terry O Flaherty, Serina Campbell, and Jim Cuddy. Former PD TD Mae Sexton is in, while Victor Boyhan is also fighting for a seat in Blackrock, and the fact that he is the only Independent on the ticket may well work to his advantage. Equally Brendan Gilmore, and Peter Merrigan are on course to take Town Council seats. Not a bad days work for my old party's candidates.

    Effectivelty that would leave the party with about 4 Cllrs

    I doubt it but I am guessing that RTE will provide the best of the coverage such as it is. This page http://www.rte.ie/news/elections/local/ will allow you to select a constituency as well as candidates. Results are expected to start coming in late afternoon.

    At least two in Howth/Malahide have gone, chap in Ennis probably will, a guy who moved into Crumlin is unlikely and they also mentioned a possible Carlow loss and problems with the other Dublin constituencies.

    Given the claims of strong party democracy from the greens and losing so many councillors because of the actions of the TDs, I have a feeling the trouble will come from within the core of the party. It won't be long before Gormley has a serious problem on his hands.

    He won't necessarily get in on those numbers. Galway was always going to be big. He needs a lot of first preferences because he probably won't get many transfers.

    Hope you are right. If Ganley gets in, it is a poor reflection on the nw region.
