We are done and dusted here at the RDS #DUBNW count! It is always so interesting, and a privilege, to follow a count and this year was no different. Thanks for following. A constituency wrap will be posted shortly on https://t.co/0GxUfGnh0i
The 1st pref vote share in #DUBNW compared to last time is interesting. Sinn Féin's share has fallen considerably from a massive 44% in 2020 with only Ellis running, to 31% this time. Independent/PBP/Aontú share all up. FF/FG vote static
The thinking here now is that no one will reach the quota at #DUBNW and that three candidates - Ellis, Hearne, and McAuliffe - will all be deemed elected without reaching the quota. This is the reckoning according to both Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil. #GE24
The 8th count has been announced. Ellis and Hearne are now tied on 7,423 votes each. Fine Gael's Noel Rock has been eliminated and his 4,569 votes are now being redistributed.
Fianna Fáil’s Paul McAuliffe is happy he’ll retain his seat. “It might be that Rory Hearne takes the first seat but there’s really a tight margin between the three of us” (Himself, Ellis & Hearne) #GE24#DUBNW
PBP candidate Conor Reddy has been eliminated after 7th count at #DUBNW. His 4,199 votes now being redistributed.
Sinn Féin's Dessie Ellis remains ahead.
#GE24
Dessie Ellis is ahead, but Rory Hearne is not far behind. All the talk is of transfers! To follow live updates on #DUBNW & the National picture in #Election24 go to https://t.co/0GxUfGnh0i
On 6th count at #DUBNW right wing anti-immigration candidate Gavin Pepper has been eliminated and his 3087 votes will now be distributed. The quota here is 8184 and no candidate is close. Dessie Ellis is ahead, followed by Rory Hearne.
Ooops! Small crossed wire led to incorrect info in last tweet. Actually one adjudication due to take place at #DUBNW and it hasn’t started yet. Involves circa 300 ballot papers. Expected to be relatively straightforward. First count maybe by 7? 🤞
There are 2 adjudications holding up announcement of outcome of first count at #DUBNW. This is when the intention of a ballot paper is disputed. A rep from every party participates in this process. Will take at least 20 min. #GE24
