This lie about the 24 hr rescue service being propagated again I see.

No but seen as no one else mentioned it I thought I'd see if I was only imagining things:D

Dark Crystal has it entered your head that these expenses have occured due to the fact the man never stops working-driving to and from waterford to dublin, travelling around the county to various clinics not to mention running two offices and employing people. Seems to me you don't have any idea how hard politicians work.

Bards all the tape was cut by cullen but the work done by KENNEALLY FACT. OECD reports recommended Waterford stays as an IT

Bards

hang on a sec. Are you seriuusly telling me that, Cullen as Minister at the Dept of Transport had nothing to do with the M9 and Wateford City Bypass??

I think you need your head examined and my advise to you is to go see a hypnotist to re-programme your brain due to the brainwashing you have been exposaed to by FF

P.S I don't get paid to go to my place of work, so why should any other perrson Including all TD's and especially Keneally

Hunt Report said WIT would be a University in any other developed country.

OECD 2 report also did not object to the upgrading of WIT to University

Edit:

All the Work was done by the Contractors (BAM/Dragados) - FACT

and another little fact - Wasn't twidlledee (Wilkinson) in the dail along with cullen from 2002 - 2007 while Kenneally was not!

He is paid handsomely enough without having to claim an extra €74,000 on top of it. It's amazing that so many other TDs from outside Dublin managed on much less, isn't it?

He is a man of his word and anything Ive ever asked him to do or my family/friends he has consistently delivered way and beyond.

He's an out and out liar and some of the things he's done are disgraceful, then again some of us know only too well what his "favours" have cost people. He's the biggest me feiner going.

I'd like to add that Sully has supplied no information on this thread that he's mod on. This thread is giving most info on Waterford nationally. Sully's candidate knows he's elected but sully won't post any updates. My view is he has been shunning this thread for the "upper echelons" in the count centre. Sound Sully, you've been most informative....

Stop been a muppet, regardless to whether Sully is a mod of this forum or not, he is under absolutely no obligation to post on this thread or any other thread for that matter.

Cut our the crap or you will outstay your welcome here.

No, he's been lining his pockets at the nations expense. Other TDs have worked FAR harder (although it would be difficult to work less than kenneally) and claimed less expenses.

Turns out there was 2000 too many votes in the tally if I understand correctly. Deasy takes a hit and revised tally puts Halligan ahead of cullinane. Deasy might be elected first count. But not by much. First count imminent, just finishing spoiling votes now

AdMMM

700 or so spoiled votes. Most properly spoiled but parties were able to get some back.

Trotter

Lots of people here wondering why it's taking so long considering other constituencies are flying along.

im far from a FF fan but Kenneally had lots to do with the M9, aswell as the 24 rescue service. Cullen took the usual plaudits as he used to do, he was one sneaky politician with a face for everyone and grabbing what limelight he could.

Anyway back onto results, who are the likely 4 at this stage?

decies

Maybe Cullen was right after all, over 9 hours of counting and still no news. Just got text from count about to declare !!

Trotter

Just heard another 20-30 mins.

Madness!

Whats the delay ?

Trotter

No idea now. I suspect it'll be tomorrow before we get to the exciting stuff.

Looks like Cullen's Revenge for electronic voting!

AdMMM

I think deasy has just barely reached a quota. Delay caused as they're discussing how to proceed to distribute surPlus

Does anyone know why so many spoiled votes? was it people taking the micky? or were they not stamped?

I heard a few elderly people got confused by the empty box by the independants where the other partys had their logos.

AdMMM

Possibility of recount of deasys votes. Don't think they'd get through that tonight!

There was a lot of that. Most votes weren't spoiled because they were still legible!

Some of the electorate going a little passive-aggressive with the spoilt votes I think. How annoying is that? Giving their little spiteful pinch at the system.

Getting bored now.
