🧵 How far-right/National Alliance candidates are doing based on mid-morning tallies #GE24.
These will likely have changed by the time most people read them, but give an indication of the state of play this morn.
Have also omitted some candidates in constituencies where no data was available yet.

Nice graph by @markcoughlan.bsky.social comparing the latest estimates from each pollster with the #GE24 Exit Poll.
It looks very consistent, with barely any differences between face-to-face (Ipsos B&A) online polls (Red C, Ireland Thinks, Opinions).

Just took a look through this and it's extremely handy. Seats already filled; each political party's list of candidates; constituency ongoing results re who's in/running/eliminated; and the background of each candidate; all there in one useful place. #GE24 #GeneralElection2024
I am biased obvs but @thejournal.ie’s count centre is very handy and very addictive. Possibly because the first page feels like popping bubble wrap.
You’ll find it in our app or here www.thejournal.ie/section/ge24/

This is a carbonized loaf of bread from Pompeii, 79 C.E. - preserved for thousands of years in the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius. The baker left his stamp, which reads: “Celer, slave of Quintus Granius Verus." Celer survived, as his name later appears on a list of freed men. #skystorians
