Being told you have a no work day because of a red level storm is the closest a grown up will get to a kid seeing snow. #éoywn.

Ictu recommended private sector pay rise of 4-7%.

That’s a wrap folks see you at the presidentials if this government lasts that long. Peace out.

#ge24 Nash elected with surplus of 1910
Butterly elected without reaching quota
McGreehan elected without reaching quota

Before it’s all over and I return to more enjoyable tasks like drinking and gardening here is a photo of the tally legend and godfather of the count Donnchadha #ge24 Louth.

Ged will have a massive surplus, there is a theoretical other round to come IF GEDs surplus is bigger than the gap between 6th and 5th. If not it will be all over soon. #ge24

Callan is gone, result is upheld Callans vote now being divided. #ge24 Louth.

I hear a whisper that the result is upheld will be resuming soon

This will be a while so here’s a photo of a lovely Madra I just met- Oisín.

#ge24 and a whole group of Ty kids have become cynical. It’s gone from interesting to ridiculous for them.

Can someone not just give him a participation trophy, would that do? If the result does change it can only effect the number before deemed elected of others-no material change. Massive waste of resources. He’s left the building for now.

This is ridiculous Callan can only hope to achieve first runner up instead of second runner up, what a waste of time and money.

Callan calls for recheck!

Callan gone 4 votes in it, butterly overtakes mcgreehan, Nash 50 votes shy. #ge24

Met some of them Saturday they helped with the tally. These are from a visiting school I think.

Gave them all a twenty minute explanation as to the process on the behest of their teacher.

Not sure what the delay is I think they might be waiting for Rte to get it on the record.

Transition year students have arrived to see the process which makes a nice change to the crowd. Result from round 19 shortly. #ge24 Louth.

Looking like Labour will be tantalisingly close after mcgahon share but will need to wait till either Comyn or Callan is excluded. #ge24 Louth

Looking at the cubby holes during this redistribution it looks like bitterly will get the lions share followed by mcgreehan then Nash, but early days.

Seals inspected and cut, day three about to start, #ge24 #louth

11 candidates in Louth failed to secure deposit and expenses.

This is before they exit so you can hit it in round one or round 10.

Counting resumes in Louth at ten, a few people have asked me about deposits for candidates. The deposit of 500 euro and expenses of up to 11000 are secured if a candidate secures over a quarter of the quota. In Louth
Quota is 10,623 so deposit is 2656. #ge24

He doesn’t like libraries and his name rhymes with Pagan.

It was Fagan but the fact that it could have been several….

Indeed, Herman is destination where far right votes go to die.

Count suspended till 10 am, oíche mhaith! Louth #ge24

0 non transferables! Sf vote management back with a bang. Joanna’s surplus is 1366.

Joanna elected with a surplus triggering another surplus distribution #ge24
