It's disheartening to see this reported on Sky News while it's absent from Irish media.
Ireland is facing a crisis!

@rodericogorman speaking after his re-election:

“The greens are still here, our issues are still here & our party is still here. And I on behalf of my party will be a strong voice on climate, nature, equality, families and children as we go into the next Dail.”

Green Party Leader Roderic O’Gorman and Labour’s John Walsh look on as counting continues in Dublin West.

Most likely, one of them will be eliminated in the next count which is due in about 5 minutes.

With the loss of Minister Catherine Martin, Green Party Leader Roderic O’Gorman is effectively the last chance for the party.

He was on track for the 5th seat in Dub W but has remained begin Aontu Ellen Troy in the last 3 counts. Count 12 underway.

LAB Walsh: 3,299

It’s now looking increasingly unlikely that Green’s Leader Roderic O’Gorman will hold on to his seat. He was tracking well for the 5th seat but Aontú’s Ellen Troy has topped him two counts in a row now.

She sits on 4,000, O’Gorman on 3,652.

The Greens looks set to suffer a near-total election wipeout, as Leader Roderic O'Gorman may be the only one of the party's 42 candidates to secure a seat. Read more:

Half of the country’s TDs have now been elected but one of the coalition party leaders still remains in the dark after 9 counts.

Roderic O’Gorman still patiently waiting to find out his fate at the Dublin West count centre. @thejournal_ie

[Megan O'Brien @MeganOBrien1997]

Aontú’s Ellen Troy has leapfrogged Green’s Roderic O’Gorman to take 5th place in the polls at Dub West.

Still 2 seats open but O’Gorman needs transfers from Ind. Tania Doyle who was just eliminated, to get back in the race.

@RuthCoppingerSP still on track for 4th seat.

[Megan O'Brien @MeganOBrien1997]

FG Colm Brophy has been elected in Dublin South West on count 7

That fills the 2nd seat in the constituency, the 1st was taken by Sinn Féin’s Sean Crowe

RTE reports that Brophy picked up 3,455 of FG’s Sarah Barnes’ transfers, after she was eliminated on count 6

We’re into the 6th count here at Dub West which may see a fourth seat filled.
