Directly Elected Mayor

The count seems all very tedious. It doesn't bode well for the future of the office; an augury for the next 5 years. I'm going to bed and I'll say a prayer that Helen hoovers up the transfers. Please God , if you're up there, give us a Sligo woman to look after our city and county…..

I think he is joking.

I guess a lot of labour transfers will go to the soc dem candidate, making CS' transfers a little less interesting but EOD's somewhat more. Then again this role should be more about the individual than their party so perhaps there will be a reasonably wide spread

As seen yesterday at Hospital (village) and I noted that they all seemed to be outside entrances to local businesses though one or two of these businesses had done some power-washing of their own.

I have heard that apart from the Kilmallock Road, there are walls similarly adorned on the Dock Road.

This behaviour brings to mind, politically unstable countries in the 1970s.

I presume that he will be made to remove them.

This is not good by Frankies team and I'm very surprised and disappointed. They've just made work for themselves. Times New Roman is so yesterday.

IIt's Vandalism he should be fined!

Yeah you were right. 6k non-transfers. <300 difference between how the rest were split among top four, with Ryan benefitting a bit. Butler next and his will be interesting. I expect Moran's lead to be eroded.

I have a hunch that not enough people know about of will make the connection between O'Donnell and FG.

They would seem like natural transfer buddies regardless so I expect her to take a chunk but maybe not enough. There's surely plenty of Butler/Moran voters out there too.

You would imagine De Ryan will split evenly so surely this is the big round.

Can't see it happening from Butlers votes.

I still think there will be some people who see things they like about both and some Butler votes who will see Moran as the "least worst" of the other leading candidates.

After Butler transfers:

25k Moran

19.4k O'Donnell

18.9k Ryan

Seems like it's in the bag for Moran alright.

Ya I'de be shocked if Ryan didn't split evenly.

I think Ryan can be pretty pleased with 3rd place and the last big party candidate.

In a different time this would be seen as a pretty bad result for FF in Limerick.

This will be a big change for JM. It'll probably mean a pay cut, longer working hours and less freedom to go for a pint in peace around Limerick, never mind having to deal with a few local reps who will have a new bogeyman to blame for all Limerick's ills.
