Not writing off PBP-S chances yet - transfers will be key.

Tommy Gould is elected as the first new TD for Cork North Central, thanks to transfers from his eliminated Sinn Fein colleague Joe Lynch. Prompting a rendition of "We are on the one road" in @NemoRangersGAA@newstalkfm
Some happy tears from the McGrath family as Seamus wins the seat vacated by his brother, on the day that Michael assumes his role as European Commissioner. #CorkSouthCentral@NewstalkFM
Chairman of Independent Ireland, Ken O’Flynn, says he expects the party to secure 6-8 seats, and after that, they’ll be open to discussions about forming a Government @NewstalkFM
#CorkNorthCentral tally is 75% complete. Looks like O'SULLIVAN (FF) to top the poll, with seats for GOULD (SF), BURKE (FG), O'FLYNN(II). It looks like a straight shootout then between BARRY (SPBP), MAHER (LAB) and FITZGERALD (FF). Fitzgerald *appears* to have the edge.
Tally in #CorkSouthCentral is slower, but it's looking like MARTIN and McGRATH (FF), O'LAOGHAIRE (SF) and BUTTIMER (FG). Right now, RICE (SD) could be the surpise as the 5th seat @NewstalkFM
VERY early tally from #CorkNorthCentral, so it comes with caveats... @NewstalkFM
Gould (SF), Burke (FG), O'Sullivan (FF) doing well as expected.
Barry (PBP) and O'Flynn (IndIrl) in the mix, but these are city boxes. Large part of the constituency is now rural.
