If anyone has garden benches or patio chairs left outside, its advisable to bring them in.

Apparently, Sinn Fein are taking seats all over the place this evening. ��

Same goes for ATMs!

It's all the first and second counts. After this is when it will get interesting.

Front bench FF saying a FF SF government is inevitable and Mark McSharry refusing to be drawn on it.

Would be great to give SF Health and Housing, and let their great and wonderful minds solve those problems overnight. They keep saying we need an "alternative approach", yet have conveniently failed to mention what this is.

Just please keep them away from any of the economic portfolios, or we'll all be screwed. It's easy to increase Corporation tax by a few percent, what will be difficult will be the decades it will take afterwards to recover once inward investment dries up.

Been told we should stop talking about SF on boards....funny but true

Who knows, but we'll soon find out. It's hilarious reading the thick Brexiteers on twitter though.

All mine have been "blown away", by the wind, or a suspect device. Some others, I'm led to believe are hidden, but they'll never tell me where.

Aye, much better if FF are back at the wheel

Why is it misguided? This view is why we seeing nothing getting done. People are in corridors of the hospitals, which surely means a lack of rooms to put people into. So the obvious thing to do is develop the hospital out and the government might have to buy up people property to make room or build higher number of floors on top of what already there? If the Chinese can erect a hospital in a week what stopping us?

And do you think the Chinese hospital (probably lobbed up with a load of highly paid children working on it) will still be standing in 15 years?

FF or SF????

No win situation for MM (and Leo) - leave SF as the main opposition for then next couple of years - they'll always be right etc etc, and will grow accordingly.

Send the country back to the polls: SF would put everyone they have up, from Saturday's numbers it'd be possible they could pin a majority if we go again short term.

Bite the bullet and go in...finally become Taoiseach (even if for a short term etc etc.)

And don't be fooled into thinking FG holding to their pre election promise is anything other than politicking.
Had they been in FF's shoes today they'd be making the same overtures and climbdowns.

They know it is politically the astute thing to do to make FF's only option for power - to talk to SF.

Yes. I think it could well be standing, and really, who cares who built it. They, the Chinese got it done...will, resilience, passion and energy!!

And of course, nothing but people to get the job done!

Fine Gael have their worst ever election result in percentages and haven't returned a Fine Gael TD in Waterford for the first time. The goys in Dublin need to go back to the drawing board clearly.

After all of the Maurice McCabe revelations the Gardai haven't even the pretence of a shred of integrity or reputation left at this stage anyhow.

They'll probably have a good whisper together about the scourge of whistleblowers and how not to get caught out next time.....

There isn't enough hours and crayons available to explain the fundamentals of justice to either of these two.
