    According to twitter it's a recheck, not a recount...not sure what the difference is though.

    It's only been a few hours. There's always counting going on around the country for days after elections. Considering the fact that there was a higher turnout than last time nationally as well as a great number of candidates, then it is reasonable to assume that things will take some time.

    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?

    Send them off to NAMA maybe, as punishment for voting them out.

    It is a recheck, counting bundles of 50 including spoiled votes. If it does not add up there may be a full recount tonight, a first count result and everybody off home thereafter.

    If it adds up they will do a few more counts tonight, perhaps four.

    On the counting, I know there are teachers there, I'm just hoping there are maths teachers there!

    Should have gone out and done a bit otherwise!

    Galway West always seem to be one of the slowest counts for some reason.

    True that. Traditionally one of the last to complete.

    Recheck did not add up so a full recount is underway. If we are lucky we will get the first count result tonight.

    He looks a dead cert for a seat there. He is one of three candidates who are neck and neck but streets ahead of all other runners.

    It's Holmes rather than E. Walsh who has been eliminated after the first count. But E. Walsh will be out after the second or third count unfortunately. At least he can be proud of being the best preforming true independent (i.e. never ran as a member of one of the major parties).

    I'm praying that Connolly does not snatch the last seat, unfortunately I'd say a lot of O'Brolcháin's transfers will go her way. Other than his transfers however I find it hard to imagine from whom she'll pick up any more...

    Definite case of Independents voting for other Independents, then. Walsh will probably push Connolly ahead of Healy-Eames, at least until Naughton gets eliminated (assuming).

    I'd much prefer Connolly got in rather than Healy Eames, especially given there is still a small chance of Fine Gael getting a majority or going into government with like minded indepenents.

    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%
    Jaysus, they should've asked their tenants to vote for them and they'd get more than that.:D

    I know. I really just don't want to see Fine Gael with too much power so am hoping they'll lose out in these situations where they are battling for the final seat.

    "Battling for the final seat" - that guff always amazes me. No one is "battling" once the polls have closed; they're just standing around, watching guys push pieces of paper around. How is that "battling"?

    I can see how it might be nerve-wracking, but the results have already been determined the second the polls closed.

    "Waiting to see how it has turned out" is obviously not as exciting as "battling" or "fighting", I suppose.
