The reception on the doors reflects this - especially younger cohort - Heather Humphries has zero to offer them. Níl faic aici - iarrathóir gan teanga gan anam! #connollyforpresident
Interesting data in the details... 22% of FG voters going for Catherine, younger voters committed to coming out to vote... Gavin's transfers splitting 50:50 - Michael D won with 39% of the vote - Catherine is on 38%... onwards and upwards.. the left united is a wondrous thing!!

Every once in a while RTÉ Radio One just goes off-air like this…
There’s 3 possibilities why:
1- Unplugged transmitter to hoover up.
2- Coffee arrived, coffee spilt / spilled.
3- Dublin has fallen, zombies on way.

@irishrail.bsky.social what's the story with closed waiting room and toilets in station in Tralee! Seemingly not enough staff employed to cover opening facilities!

@news.rte.ie your headline on results is confusing- these are the reported final numbers
The final result of the Greenland election is below.
The winner is the liberal pragmatic party Demokraatit.
The Trump friendly party Qulleq got 305 votes out of the 28.620 votes cast. Just over 1% 😁

So disappointed with #Michaelmartin @news.rte.ie - 2024 housing completions numbers were inflated - own it! if you want to bow to Trump with your Shamrock bowl don't call those of us who are not represented by your action as 'reckless'- we are your conscience it would do you good to check it!!

Thank you - we all need good stories at the moment
This is by far the most wonderful story I've read all week. I'll be linking to it in tomorrow's newsletter.
I haven't seen it get too much attention so I'm sharing it here as well.

Looking at Soc Dems 5 red lines in manifesto... home ownership is red line but secure rented social housing is not, then the vague wooly climate line and childcare again without redline target. Should be no bother for FFG! #socdems #govtformation #lowbar

This is really important- we ended up with a number of ballots ruled invalid because they weren't stamped in the local elections #ge24 #kerry #mikekennedy
And my last tip. Make sure your ballot has the official seal (hole puncher with notions) this is to ensure your ballot is official. Every year there a number of ballots that never get stamped by a polling clerk and are the deemed invalid. Check your ballot has this. #ge24

Today’s reminder is all the TD’s who voted to seal the Mother and Baby Home records. Just in case they are running in your area or you want something else to ask them about if they call at your door. #GE24

Good voting advice here from @unaminh.bsky.social if you want to keep racists out of the Dáil.
Parties to avoid: National party, Irish freedom party, the Irish people 🤢 and also be super careful of those who claim to be ‘Independent’

These comments from Norma Foley at the INTO’s education debate are beginning to cause a stir in teacher circles.
Is the abject shortage of teachers - where it’s almost impossible to get a substitute teacher - a ‘crisis’?
The minister would prefer to label it an “opportunity”…

McDowell argues that the majority of Irish voters want the FFG (plus A N other) status quo. But do we/they really? The same housing, healthcare, education,climate change, migrant protection fails in a highly unequal society with an emboldened far right. Yeah, that’d be a no from this voter. #GE2024
