Considering the high % of people who said health was an issue, it's fairly bizzare.

Having health as an issue just means you thought it was important not how you voted. In Wicklow Harris must be popular and the same applies to Murphy.

RTE saying SF will exceed 30 seats comfortably and will be topping the polls in at least 16 out of 39 constituencies.

Pearl clutchers! gird your loins for Wolfe Tones greatest Hits throughout the day.

Singing IRA songs in the count centre. Is this the change people voted for?

It's a Wolfe Tone song about the B&Ts ~ as relevant to FF & FG as it is to SF

SF will want another election for maximum seats.

People on trollys so long they tried to commit suicide



No one could do better ?


C'mon.

You're fooling only yourself. Until the unions and consultants are tackled the problem will never go away. SF haven't a notion of touching either.

You need it in a manifesto and have a large mandate to do so and that will never happen

Lisa Chambers in trouble? FF may be the ones to have a bad election.

And who will be running the health service tomorrow even if there's a complete change of government?

They all signed up to the same plan, and literally every talking point on health from each of the major parties was taken from the slaintecare plan so explain what specifically SF would do different that they havent publicly said?

It was signed 3 years ago.


FG have been in the driving seat for the last 3 years. NOT SF.

And that's why FF/FG are unlikely to give it to them...

Suspect the voters didn't enjoy the thought of commemorating them anyway

Incredible the amount of Damage Leo did to himself there. Self implosion

Funny to see it

Like SF or not surely people know now that unless fg/ff deliver on housing and health that they will be out of power and SF may will be in, so it will force them to do something finally?

You would hope so but I wont hold my breath.

If I were FF or FG I'd be tempted to go in to coalition with SF but only on the condition they took the ministries for housing and health.
At the end of the term they couldn't use them as a stick with which to beat the establishment parties as they'd have achieve precisely SFA in their time in the ministries.

I think SF have a far better chance of ameliorating the housing pressures many are under rather than FG or FF. O'Brion's housing proposals and their overall approach to housing is flat-out better than the other two.

Health is another barrel of badgers.

Sigh, these are tallies not actual counts but yes they we expect they have taken Donegal as polls before the election showed two seats.

Very surprised. She's been all over the TV and was seen as young blood for a party severely lacking in same.

Alternatively, maybe it's Ellis trying to show he's down with it, and hip and trendy singing a song that was No1 a few weeks ago.

Charlie (no pun intended) royally fcuked up with his RIC worshiping stunt.

Ellis (a man who it is believed made the Eniskillen and Warrington bombs) was surrounded by his bowsies singing ‘oh ah up the RA’ in the count centre. That’s not normal.

As good as it would under any other party.

Or do SF have some magical solution to reducing civil servant beuracracy and red tape they havent shared?

FG had 9 years to fix these things take for example DART expansion it's literally just a matter of buying trains and putting up power cables. FG somehow have not only failed to do this they also failed to keep pace with the demand so people are regularly fainting on the DART

Health warnings on tallies but suggestions she might be.

The thing is even if they do deliver on what they promised in this election, it still won't be enough.

FG are promising around 30k of houses every year. When you take into account that they are already miles behind of where we needed to be and net migration, even if they did built 30k houses, the problem won't be nearly solved within 5 years.

Never seen that John, I'd be rightly annoyed at them if true.

Almost as annoyed as I was when I heard of Charlie's plans for a state commemoration for the RIC.

Almost.

The people could live in some of the 200,000 empty houses while they are waiting for their new house to be built.

SF votes have to come from somewhere and here in Mayo that can pretty much only be FF or FG. And presumably the former is more likely

When can we expect to hear seats being filled ?
