I've moved the latter end of the Wicklow splitting discussion here, please continue to debunk the nonsense there instead of here.

Subject to the odd recount or two, all seats have been filled. The breakdown is:

FG 76, LR 37, FF 20, SF 14, 19 Independents

A majority of 113-53. The highest ever, and a two thirds majority unlikely to be seen again.

So whatever happened to the foot.ie poll then??

Can we put in an early request for the next election......

I'm pleased with the result. The last time FG and Labour were in power they did a good job. The main reason Labour took a hit in '97 was for going in to government with FF. The Spring tide was backed on the basis they were not going to go into power with FF at the time. Most voter knew in this election, a FG/Labour government was a possibility. It's completely different to the situation in '92.

Mensa members like me vote Labour so I think we qualify as the "good people" dont you?

Jesus Magicme you are like a broken record at this stage,give over

Vinny B had the main party candidates for the Dublin West constituency bye-election.

Bottom of the barrel stuff.

Was funny watching David McGuinness of the FFailures justifying why anyone should vote for him because he worked closely with Lendahand, lord rest him.

THE FINE Gael-Labour Coalition has installed large numbers of people with party links to State boards since coming into office, despite promises to end the system of political patronage.

Those appointed include at least 20 past or present party members, strategists or donors. In no case was the link identified at the time the Government announced the appointment.

Nothing new Osarusan, I was hit in another thread for daring to say this lot are as bad as FF, none so blind.

The current breakdown is

FG 75+1 LR 38 FF 19 SF 14, Indies 19

FF have the same numbers now as the Indies. How the mighty have fallen? The second half of their self-pity documentary is on RTE tonight.

meh, have to even up the numbers. No point trying to implement changes whilst the FF sleepers are still in the majority on boards. If it's not changed in the lifetime of the Government, then I'll be giving out.
