Government formation: the likely outcome is FF/FG/Inds however, FF may balk at treating FG as an equal partner, and certainly wouldn’t want a rotating Taoiseach, which could pave the way for FF/SF led administration, with either Lab or SD; or a minority govt with a C&S deal with a left alliance…

A special goodnight to all of you working at polling stations tomorrow, and at count centres over the weekend. You’re a vital part of our democracy, and the reason we’ve never faced any opportunistic and spurious accusations of election fraud. Thank you! #GE24🇮🇪

Just in advance of voting tomorrow, your reminder not to take photos of your ballot paper and post it on social media.
You can tell people who you voted for if you want but if you snap it you give away security features like the official seal.

This shouldn't be drowned out by the poll.
This is why the far right can never be treated as part of normal politics. They, at core, want to inflict violence on others. They are the real threat to civil society.

1/5 Hard to see any party winning a seat in each of the 43 constituencies; so they then need to win two in numerous constituencies to break into the mid/high forties (and again hard to see any of them winning two seats in more than half a dozen constituencies). #GE24
