One healy rea representing part of this county was enough IMO - but thanks for your prediction, hope your wrong.

I've deleted that last post - no call for personal insults in this forum. It inevitably leads to arguments and will not be allowed. Keep it friendly and civil please

Damn, I never saw it. It wasn't Jimmy Deenihan was it?:eek:

No, not about Jimmy. It was about a member that regularly posts on this forum. Not me btw:) Glad to see it removed.

Just been to vote. From speaking to people today, John O Donoghue is getting more support than I expected.

My predictions for Kerry South

1 Brendan Griffin
2 Tom Fleming

I would think the best result for kerry south would not be 2 FG TD's but Healy-Rae, Griffin and O Donoghue.

Hoping Griffin gets elected. Gave him my Number 1 anyway. Seems to have a lot of support though, especially among the younger voters. I guess the boards.ie poll is a bit biased in that regard.

Prediction:
1. Brendan Griffin
2. Tom Fleming
3. Michael Healy Rae

Not a hope. His father has had a huge had in ruining this country.

The family businesses did well, which is the main thing.

Delighted that Griffin is doing well. Still impossible to call a result though

How are those figures calculated, and how reliable are they? Very happy with Griffin too. Was a bit worried with the last few posts showing him polling low but he seems to have pulled back?

Yeah, they are initial tallies for the first count. He was polling low initially after the Killarney boxes were opened but pulled dramatically ahead when Dingle votes were counted. Transfers are going to be crucial so we could see the poll swing in any direction

What's that translated into pot-holes?

Common as...

Glad to see Griffin doing so well and that things aren't looking good for John Expenses, but it's ****e that Son of Gombeen is getting such a high first preference hopefully he won't so well on the transfers this time.

newman10

Any opinion on the likley outcome.
2 Ind and 1 FG or 2 FG and 1 Ind.

Degag

Think i'd much rather Donoghue to get in than Healy Rae.

Was actually surprised that JOD polled pretty well, ahead of the likes of Sheahan, Moloney and Gleeson for 1st prefs. I suppose he has the longest track-record and still had the support of older FF generation. Don't think he will do well on transfers though. Looking Like Griffin/Fleming/MHR but it's going to be a really interesting contest for the last seat anyway

This time round, they'll be lucky to get a first-aid box.:(

Healy Rae is far from getting in yet, Tom Sheahan should do well on the transfer bring him back in the running. Hard to say but I reckon seeing as Jackie was in the government the HR camp may be a bit transfer toxic

I hope that it's fully equipped, fully staffed, and that every square inch of it gets fully used. Time will tell. It will probably end up as a Healy-Rae hair transplant clinic, which will be a sad day for South-Kerry cloth-cap retailers.

Any idea when the count will be announced?
