I read that manifesto and have looked into this point extensively.

Its ether 65k per house or 130k per house, which is still short of the 300k or so needed to build a house in the greater Dublin area.

SF economics.

300k would put up some size of a feckin social house if you already owned the site. :eek:

I see the Longford Westmeath SF candidate topping count so far. Same person who managed to muster around 900 votes in local election apparently.
A vote for SF not the ability of the candidate perhaps?

How much of that 300k cost is the land?

RTE pundit estimating high 30's for SF and FF total dropping all the time.
Alternative SF led government emerging anyone?

40% tally in Wicklow suggests SF, FG,FF and last 2 seats between SD, Green and FF with FF outsider. Donnelly at risk of losing his seat.

Probably and that differs to Ff FG candidates elected, how?

Same in Galway. The SF candidate lost her local seat but is now beating O'Cuiv.

I think FG might end up with the most seats.

Leo and Mary Lou propped up with independents and greens

I don’t know. Which FF/FG candidates? I just picked on on this as was commented on RTÉ just now

Michael Lowry still tops the poll, says something.

There are no results, just limited tallies.

Boxes open is at a 60 to 70 percent ratio at a number of areas across the country. Sinn Fein in some localities had 40 percent + of the first option votes. With FF and FG in the low teens. 

Sinn Fein vote is this too larger to ignore?

A vote for brand SF not the candidates ability it seems

eeepaulo

How many extra candidates could SF have run?

Just looking at constituencies with 1 SF candidate. They are sometimes getting 2 quotas.

if you actually looked at the detail it was more like 160k per house...but hey..

But hey indeed.

Not a snowballs chance in hell they'll get built.

Time for the permanent government to roll up the shirt sleeves I think.

Was Dessie Ellis' gang singing that. Mortifying. Looks as if the surge in populist nationalism worldwide has infected Ireland. This is the same phenomenon that spawned Trump and Brexit.

It is FF that seem to be collapsing, relative to where the bookies and the opinion polls had them.

I wonder will they have less seats than GE2016.

As soon as there is an actual count, yes. Tallies are not counted votes.

Has anyone got a reliable prediction of seat distribution?

Paddy Power is predicting FF 49, FG 38, SF 35. I'm expecting FF to be the largest party but I'd be surprised if they had that many...

FF down a bit SF up a bit since then. FF+FG still have a clear majority of seats though...

The tallies in this country are usually bang on.

His services will no be required this time around. He is only a TD these days to keep the taxman and other officials off his back. He will have no more no influence for the duration of the next Dail.

Lundstram

Healy-Raes on 36% of the vote in Kerry. Lowry top in Tipp. Willie O'Dea on 20% in Limerick.

Shyters and gombeen politics is alive and well in Munster.

You could have stuck a SF badge on a toaster and it would have been elected yesterday.

Must be decades since Tipperary elected a SF candidate

The last chap Morris from Nenagh never did well and then quit the party over a bullying claim

The surge applies to Tipp also it seems. A SF TD in Tipp is mighty unusual
