Final count result announced - total of 3710 for Chu and 3741 for McCarthy. With a difference of only 31 (0.174% of the valid poll), a recount call has been made and the count will reconvene tomorrow from 9:30 to address this.

It's now down to Hazel Chu versus Aubrey McCarthy.
And it will be decided by Hugo MacNeill's transfers.
At the moment, Chu is ahead of McCarthy by 416 votes.
So, Aubrey McCarthy would need 417 more transfers from Hugo MacNeill to overtake Hazel Chu.

Another stroke being proposed by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to allow Michael Lowry to sit on Opposition benches.
You cannot be in government and opposition.
This is an insulting response to what was agreed in the Dáil last week. Total arrogance on the back of their grubby deal. We won’t stand for it.
Due to Storm Éowyn Sligo dialysis unit will be closed tomorrow.
Patients should have been contacted by now
With a few possible exceptions the following applies:

This whole debacle is insane.
Michael Lowry is holding this Dáil to ransom

The public see through this and don’t like it- a group is either in opposition OR in government.

It is not anti-Israel to be pro-human rights.
It is not anti-semitic to seek an end to Israel’s brutal war on #Gaza
Deeply regrettable to see this personalised attack from #Israel#CeasefireInGazaNow
Muhammad Khalifa came to Ireland twice with the Gaza Kids. He played football, gave us a window into life under siege, and warmed our hearts. He met President Michael D Higgins both trips. Today he was murdered by Israel, along with his brother and family members. He was 20. RIP
I remember a woman who survived being mauled by a bear (it RIPPED HER FACE OFF) did an ama about her experience and said the worst part of the whole thing, attack, rescue, recovery, years of healing, many surgeries, was dealing with the health insurance company
