Is our darling Fidelma going to be screaming in the Dáil?

The Galway Advertiser is doing sporadic updates on their Facebook page here.

So far updates from there have been (for both Galway West and East) - for those not on Facebook.

It looks like the Advertiser opinion poll was spot on - Walsh, Cuiv, Nolan and Grealish are sure seats and Fidelma and Catherine will battle for last seat

And just there -

Ming the Merciless odds on to get into the next Dail

Cannon is doing well in the 90 boxes opened so far. Broderick is doing well but he may fall away the nearer they get to Tuam. Canney will pick up there as well

Healy Eames seat not assured. Will need to do well in Oranmore boxes but they'll be divvied up between Grealish and Healy Eames but that will be an interesting aside. Fahey and Crowe look out of it

Connaughton seat looks very safe here in Galway East

In Galway East, the Ballinasloe boxes are opened with Tim Broderick, Dermot Connolly, Paul Connaughton doing well.

Lab's Derek Nolan currently topping poll in Galway West with almost 65% of votes tallied, Fine Gael's Brian Walsh is second

Is it true Frank Fahey might take the last seat?

i think we can safely say that Fahey is finished.

I cant see were he is going to get any transfers.

Does this mean Galway will get no more jobs?

skelliser

Crowe got less than 4%. He was aiming for the same pool of urban votes as Frank Fahey who has also polled badly, with just 6%

He's not going to get elected, he's on less than 3% of the vote

skelliser

O'Cuiv, Nolan, Grealish, B Walsh & Healy Eames look likely

perfect,thats all i wanted to hear :D:D

and with FG's plans to abolish the Seannad,aul Niallers will be out on his ear.
Excellent.

It is thought Frank Fahy, elected in 2007, will not show up in Leisureland, after an abismal performance today

ZorbaTehZ

Imo Connolly is still in with a chance.
Any ideas on who'll be eliminated first?

eagle10

Bye bye Crowe, hopefully Fahey follows soon:D.

My gutters need cleaning I wonder if Fahey is busy next week after he gets his ugly mug down from all the lamp poles in town?

Michael D is gone. No more rockin' in the Dáil for us.

How many seats and who is confirmed

snubbleste

There are 5 seats. No counts finalised yet. Tallies are not official counts, just an indication.

Sponge Bob

Just back in from the count. Based on tallies made of the #2 vote distribution during the main 1st count it appears that Kyne will pip Healy Eames at a key stage of the count thereby leaving himself as #2 FG candidate . However FG will likely not get themselves a second seat and the sequence of the elected looks like.

1. O Cuiv ( elected after Fahey is eliminated)
2. Walsh ( elected after HE is eliminated)
3. Nolan ( picking up dribs and drabs)

Finally on the last count.

4. Grealish
5. Connolly or Kyne but more likely Connolly I think.

Both without reaching the quota with c 8000 votes, Kyne on 7200 odd and not elected.

That is my final prediction

ZorbaTehZ

According to Irish Times:

O Brolcháin 1083
Connolly 4572
Crowe 1699
Cubbard 868
O'Cuiv 7316
Fahy 3390
Grealish 5985
Healy-Eames 4926
Holmes 182
King 169
Kyne 4441
Naughton 3483
Nolan 7047
O'Clochartaigh 3804
B Walsh 5216
E Walsh 1504
Welby 3289

Excellent.

The irony of it .. O Brolchain was the man who gave out about 'jobs for the boys' while helping himself to a nice seat in the Seanad himself.

I will be really delghted if both Fahey and Healy Screams don't make it, the only thing I can't understand is how Grealish gets over 10% of the vote. This ex-PD propped up an awful, corrupt Government for so long. Still, it was a good day for Galway politics.

beagle001

I have heard the Seanad won't be abolished for 4yrs if at all and Frank Fahy is to get a seat in the Seanad.

ArtSmart

bit of a tit bit.

Ming the Merciless was a tenant of Frank Fahy when he lived in Galway and he grassed (no pun intended) Fahy up to the corpo for sub standard housing.

ha ha ha.

oh the fcking irony of it all!!!!

Sad day for the Profit Before People alliance ... known back in the 1920s as Fianna Fail!

My heart bleeds for Fahey and Crowe, how are they going to fund their 40 properties now?
