Clare is a fantastic, stuuning place to be from.... but something about Kerry just hits different. What a thoroughly beautiful part of the world! #Ireland is just a wonderful island, especially when the sun is out!

For anyone interested here on #speirgorm, the list of candidates for the 5 vocational panels of Seanad Éireann elections #SE25 has been published. I've done some sleuthing to find people's affiliations/what whip they said they might take if elected. I've also put the expected outcome of each panel.

I need to start getting these framed and hung at this stage! Framer suggestions welcome #speirgorm people.
Nice surprise to get in the post following the Christmas celebrations. #Astrophysics

One question that's still open from #GE24 is just how off is the electoral register. Using Census 2022 data, and EU voter registration averages of 80% to 90%, we see that it's off by anything from 174,000 to 564,000 people. This is something the Electoral Commission badly needs sorting! #speirgorm

The 2024 election is 1 of only 3 where the combined FF+FG vote share hasn't dropped in my lifetime. The 28% drop in their combined vote in that time has coincided with a 13% rise in IND support (vast majority of which are centrists). Overall drop in combined support coincides with 3 key events.

Let it never be said I'm not willing to put my money where my mouth is. Backed my own statistical analysis and projection model it produced ahead of #GE24. It's proven profitable! Mathematical skills are good for your wallet folks. Who said an MSc in Astrophysics doesn't have its uses!? 😝
