Wish when you submitted your votes you could see the results so far. Like online polls. Feel like that would get the voter turnout up. #GE24

Our polling centre in Bray was hopping 👏 Overheard a chat between two younger people, “I want to see change, that’s the only reason I’m here.” #GE24

Hope it’s the same kind of change I want 🙃

My caption is incorrect - but the important thing is still to vote all the way down, or really as far as possible. I think this is more important than ever if we want change. #ge24
The best approach for if you want to ensure someone DOESN’T get your transfers today - ensure you give literally everyone else *some* preference. Explained well here by @gavreilly.com #ge24

No. If you hate more than one, you should still rank them. If you think eg "I'd rather neither, but Peadar Toibin is slightly preferable to Justin Barrett" then you should rank them. Not ranking them won't stop them getting elected, it'll just mean you have no say in who is elected

Can everyone teach their friends and parents and everyone how important this is for tomorrow? Punish the ones you don’t! Vote all the way down to show HOW MUCH you don’t want bad candidates.
Reminder: Ireland’s PR-STV electoral system not only allows you to support the candidates you like - but also to punish the ones you don’t.

If there’s a candidate(s) you despise, you can promote *literally everyone else* ahead of them by giving those rivals all the preferences on your ballot paper.

Pistachio bowl out of the kiln this week and working perfectly. I love it almost as much as my toothbrush head holders.

Going OTT with the pinks to combat the grey days. Cordyline, cyclamen and heather.

It is appalling that the State, the department of Public Prosecution refused to take a criminal case.

I am glad she had the support & resources to take a civil case.
