    Fingers crossed. Otherwise we've ended up with one centrist Labour TD and four right-wingers. :(

    C'mon Catherine!

    How about a quick rumble between the Kyners and the Connollyites outside Leisureland at 7pm? Just to give the bored folk there something to look at.

    i wonder when a recount is called for a second time do the counters feel pressurised into pleasing the crowd of hawks that are looking over the table watching for a scuffed stamp or a voting card that wasnt 100% punched at the polling station (which isnt the voters or the candidates fault ) .Plus what is the cost of a second recount and is there a need for it . I watched the first one and thought it was meticulously slow and couldnt leave any mistakes at all

    They're expecting the result of the FIRST COUNT at 2am.

    It then has to go up to the counts again like the first time.

    Also, if you don't want Catherine Connolly elected, be gentle at least for tonight. She buried her mother this morning.

    I didn't say it would be the final count.
    I also didn't say that i didn't want Catherine Connolly elected . I know she buried her stepmother this morning but surely i can still post my opinion about a second recount.

    Moy83, I was just clarifying that it wouldn't be the result of the election. You said result. It's not the result, it's the result of the 1st count. Just clarifying it for other people.

    And the last comment about not bad-mouthing was a general comment, not directed at you.

    Galway Advertiser's facebook reporting:

    More than three quarters of the first pref votes have now been checked and rechecked and there is no change to Catherine Connolly's position.

    So negotiations were underway with a view to asking her to withdraw her call for a recount, given that her position is unlikely to change in the remaining 15-20 per cent.



    If i was her, I wouldn't. Who knows where 17 votes could pop out of.

    Catherine doesn't expect to make up the difference now but is going to let the recount complete.

    Catherine conceded before the first count was complete. I have new respect for her now after all this. She had the grace to bow out that others before her were lacking.

    She said she was a bit disappointed that her team didn't get to scrutinise the FHE recount more closely when it was going on.

    So 5 Galway Wesht boys in the Dail now.

    Why didnt they get the chance to scrutinise the FHE recount ?
    Fair play to her for conceding early though

    Just heard of the formal declaration on Morning Ireland.

    Congratulations to Sean. Commiserations to Catherine.

    17 votes between them -- a record?

    Just heard Sean Kyne on Galway Bay FM.....apparently he was the FG representative for Connemara. Now, I’ve spoken to a lot of people about the candidates, specifically related to the Connemara region and I don’t remember Sean Kyne's name coming up once!

    I find it hard to believe that you " have spoken to a lot of people about the candidates, specifically related to the Connemara region and i don't remember Sean Kyne's name coming up once ! "
    Could you have alzeihmers ? He got elected with 9117 votes so obviously many people have heard of him

    alzeihmers? You would want to wise up a bit.
    I live in connemara, and the names O'Cuiv, Welby, Cloherty were all talked about but nothing about Kyne. I knew he was from Moycullen but didnt know he was targeting the connemara vote. Then again, like the rest of them they probably walked about Clifden, Roundstone, Oughterard, Spiddal etc....not the smaller villages like where im from.
