Your Irish general election update 30/11/2024 Saturday night approx 10:30 pm

Currently TDs are in the process of being elected as the votes are counted. Not evey constituency had had TDs elected however.

So far seats have been confirmed for

•Sinn Féin candidate Louise O’Reilly from Dublin Fingal West

•Sinn Féin Candidate Eoin Ó Broin from Dublin Mid West

•Fine Gael Candidate Neale Richmond from Dublin rathdown

•Sinn Féins Paul Donnelly in Dublin West

•Fine Gaels Emer Currie in Dublin West

•Fine Gaels William Aird in Laois

•Fine Gaels Patrick O’Donovan in Limerick City

•Sinn Fein Candidate Johnny Guirke in Meath West

•Michael Fitzmaurice from Independant Ireland elected in Roscommon Galway

•Sinn Féin David Cullinane elected in Waterford

•Independant Verona Murphy elected in Wexford

And for some frontline politicians as well, such as:

•Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin from Corm South Central

•Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou Mcdonald from Dublin Central

•Fianna Fáils Former Finance Minister Jack Chambers from Dublin West

•Aontú Leader Peadar Tóibín from Meath West

And finally,

•Fine Gael minister Jennifer Carrol McNeill, the first TD elected in the country from Dún Laoghaire

And

•Fianna Fáils Seán Ó Fearghaíl elected automatically to Kildaire South due to position as Ceann Comhairle

Aditionally, this election has seen support for the green party drop dramatically, with even Green Party Leader Roderick O' Gorman fighting for his seat, and Hazel Chu struggling to win Past Leader Eamon Ryan's seat in Dublin Bay South.

Currently, the green party is projected to win one (1) seat, a massive loss considering their recent place in government.

We can also see Independant Hutch Gang Member Gerry "The Monk" Hutch fighting Labours Marie Sherlock for a seat in Dublin Central.

More to be announced tomorrow. I am lucky enough to possibly have the opportunity to see the count at the RDS tomorrow, and will be reporting from there.

Quick PSA:

If you're Irish and over 18, please, for the love of all that's good and holy, go out and vote!!!! Vote for change and who you think will fix the homeless crisis and the broken HSE. Vote!!! People gave their lives so that you, as an Irish person, could vote and have an impact on how the country was run. So. Vote.

(also vote sinn féin and fuck fianna fàil and fianna gael)

(also vote pbp and green. but i cannot stress this enough, fuck ff and fg)

So none of this means much yet, lots of counts still to be done but this is fucking hilarious. Sinn Fein is gaining seats it hasn't had for 100 years. Fine Gael and Fianna Fail shot themselves in the foot by saying they won't consider forming a coalition with Sinn Fein and both Leo and Micheal lost their seats to Sinn Fein.

Time for change -

The 2020 General Election saw Sinn Fein win 37 seats, one less than Fianna Fáil and two more than Fine Gael. Such results haven’t been seen since 1918.

While the future of the current Dáil is uncertain, we could see our first Sinn Fein Taoiseach, who would also be the first female to hold the position. 

The results showed that Irish citizens want to see change.

This is about Brexit from the Irish perspective. The irish government, led by Leo Varadkar, has just secured an agreement from Micheal Martin, from the Fianna Fail party, that he will keep cooperating with the government until 2020.

So they’re getting on just fine. In the meantime, the neighbours on the other side of the Irish sea.....
