  1. I read @gavreilly reporting that Ray McAdam is set to be given a Seanad seat (to replace Seán Kyne), and I think I just got a little bit sick in my mouth..

  2. @allancavanagh @gavreilly It is - he's not my first choice, but I'm happy that it's him rather than the Shinners, a crime boss, or any of the fash. (Some of them doing far too well, though, which is a worry.)

    Looks like it's between FG and Ind Ireland in Galway West - I'd love if the Labour candidate could make it, but it doesn't look like she'd be able to catch them.

  3. At this point and based on tallies so far, @gavreilly is calling #DubC for Daniel Ennis of the Soc Dems.

  4. @janwwbosch It really is. @gavreilly put it this way a few minutes ago:

    "With 55% of boxes tallied in Dublin Central, Fianna Fáil's John Stephens has just 2.3%, and has lost over half of the vote taken by his party in the 2024 GE.

    "Unless the other half of boxes are more favourable to him, that would be the lowest share of the vote ever won by Fianna Fáil in a Dáil poll."

    😬

  5. @gavreilly Hi Gavan, would you be able to share your election spreadsheet here on Mastodon, for the #DubC and #GalW #MastoDaoine?

  6. "Vigil held for Congolese man, Yves Sakila, who died in Dublin city centre incident, as Taoiseach calls for thorough investigation"

    For anyone outside of Ireland, this has disturbing similarities to what was done to George Floyd in the USA.

  7. Interesting enough from the six interviewed in studio - a few unconvincing candidates there, and a couple who were fairly strong, actually answering the questions and having specifics on their answers.

    Did anyone else tune in?

  8. Oh wait, they're doing the debate in separate installments, or something. Stand down.

  9. No @JanetPHorner on the RTÉ Six One debate among Dublin Central (#DubC) candidates??

    I thought she was due to appear after the gangland guy said no to appearing on it?

  10. Jane Matthew's for @TheJournal has a good report from last night's event:

    "Candidates call for left transfer pact as Dublin Central competition gets off to friendly start"

  11. Keep Left emerged from the Catherine Connolly presidential election campaign in 2025.

    Similar to Marriage Equality (#MarRef) and Together for Yes (#RepealThe8th), it's non-party, and aims at uniting parties on the left around shared common goals. Dublin Central is something of a test bed.

    You can find out more about the Keep Left movement at: keepleft.ie/

  12. CW: FuelProtests

    @Anitambyrne I swear to god, I am so f'cking angry at some of the so-called opposition, and at three-quarters of a billion of public monies being pissed away into private businesses.

    There are going to be a lot of candidates in Dublin Central with questions to answer at our door.

  13. A Fine Gaeler, Peter Burke, on RTÉ's Morning Ireland saying that all parties will now unite around the next President of Ireland.

    Meanwhile, via Barry Lenihan on RTÉ News, a tally sheet from Dublin Central (#DubC) shows the dominance of support for Catherine Connolly (@CatherineGalway):
