Big achievement for Derek Blighe polling in 9th place with 3.6% first preferences in Ireland South for the EU elections ahead of Labour, Social Democrats, Aontú, PBP and one of the Sinn Féin candidates. There's a lot of transfers to shake out below him too.

Niall Boylan in third position in Dublin for the EU elections after receiving the bulk of Malachy Steenson's transfers.
I think there might be some surprises at how transfer-friendly he could be from the regular candidates if he can stay on top of them and I suspect he'd get a decent chunk of Clare Daly's.
Voters aren't as ideologically fixed as some might wish to think of them. We saw PBP, Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil getting a good share of Stephen Redmond's transfers in Finglas.
After Philip Dwyer was knocked out in this race, 906 of his transfers went to Sinn Féin, PBP, Labour, Soc Dems and a large portion to Clare Daly. Even the government parties got a smaller taste too. Some voting is tactical though.

Peter Casey polled the highest of the the outlier candidates in Midlands-North-West and he's on top of Saoirse McHugh—she won't like that.
He seemed increasingly desperate to get his viral moment in the last week of the campaign with empty suggestions trying to appeal to nationalist sentiment, but I suspect his polling over the other candidates is more a reward for receiving the most media coverage and being known from his previous outings.

There's one local race I'm still looking at in Newbridge where Tom McDonnell is set to take a seat but a second recount will get underway at the count centre in Punchestown tomorrow morning.
A Sinn Féin candidate was one vote behind the Aontú candidate but following a recount, he went one vote ahead of her so she called a recount on the recount.
McDonnell is a prominent figure opposed to the super plantation site in Floods Cross outside Naas.

"The story of this election is the not slump, but collapse in the vote of Sinn Féin. If Friday's result happened in a general election, they'd lose half of their TDs ... Their ultra-nationalist supporters are not for a multicultural society and they have departed ways with Sinn Féin, hence the whole traitor thing."

"We have gone from a place where far-right candidates were getting 0.2, 0.5 per cent of the vote in particular constituencies, they're nudging up to 3,4,5 per cent and beyond so we shouldn't ignore this, we shouldn't be complacent about it."
"What they will do is use the various chambers as a type of bully pulpit to get across their message, and what's the next vehicle after that, of course it's the general election ... While our politics in way has gone quite centre-left ... there is now a significant element who are thinking far-right."

Gardaí are investigating whether a stabbing attack yesterday at about 12.30am outside a Domino’s pizza takeaway in Ongar was carried out by a Dublin-based Eircode gang. A man, aged in his early 20s, who lives in the locality was stabbed multiple times.
Violence between the gangs has broken out over the past four years, mostly in Dublin and Co Louth. A culture has built up around the gangs, with many recording rap songs that insult gangs from rival areas.
A Drogheda-based Eircode crew have been issuing threatening phone calls and calling to innocent family members’ homes for the purpose of the collection of drug debts. This gang have been using different social-media platforms to deal drugs.
Don't say nobody warned you.

The media have never been interested in interviewing Glo nor in acknowledging the African background of the 'Eircode gangs' they are sometimes forced to write about.

>Some 26 of the 31 suspects have been caught so far and one of them, according to the police, is a police officer. Another 35 people were arrested in Spain in a joint operation.
>A laboratory for forging documents was also discovered. The documents being forged were IDs, passports, driving licences, bank and healthcare cards that were used by Albanians entering the UK and Ireland illegally.

Councillor elect for Ballymun-Finglas, Gavin Pepper, is to ask Dublin City Council about a legal case against the widespread foreign interference in the local elections under the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Such actions could be considered genocidal if they are found to have disrupted the social, economic, or political survival of a native group by altering the demographic balance, especially if these actions lead to the group’s marginalisation or destruction and if the purpose of moving populations is to weaken or destroy the group’s ability to sustain itself or its cultural identity.

The Social Democrats EU elections candidate for Dublin, Sinéad Gibney, falls just short of getting her election expenses reimbursed by 440 votes.
Gibney needed 18,836 votes but had received 18,396 when she was knocked out on the 15th count with 4.3% first preferences.
Gibney told RTÉ it was gut-wrenching as she had put a lot on the line to fund her campaign and will struggle to launch a run for a seat in the Dáil in the next few months.
Don't feel too bad though. While working for the IHREC, Irish tax payers paid Gibney a salary of €136,425 to use her platform to conceal facts about migration and lobby the government to keep the borders wide open and accommodate infinity asylum seekers.

Tragic thing about Clare Daly losing her EU seat is that we might have to listen to her in the Dáil again soon. If only she cared about the Dubs she was elected to care about as much as she cares about every other people in the world.
On the plus side, we're likely getting rid of Aodhán.

Head of the crew they brought over from Britain to help plant Clonmel because they couldn't find an Irish security firm to do it is Joe Arthur Taylor from SNSG but he also goes by Joe Black. Taylor calls himself a travelling man and says his son plays for Ireland. One of his crew says his parents were from Portlaoise.
They seem sympathetic to the protesters who have been trying to reason with them but Taylor says as a single father his son's wellbeing comes first and he needs the money, and it must be good.
Taylor tells the protesters his team don't have to display their security licenses as they are close protection officers for VIPs and have been employed as bodyguards for members of the Royal family, the Prince and Princess of Brunei, the King of Saudi Arabia and Barak Obama.

We're still waiting on a result in Newbridge. The third recount overnight put the Sinn Féin candidate 1 vote ahead of the Aontú candidate after the last recount had them evens but gave the edge to Aontú with more first preferences.
Legal consultations are to be had now. If Sinn Féin can scrape it, there might be more transfers from Aontú for Tom McDonnell giving him the seat. He could take it either way though but if they're fighting this hard over it, they both must see an advantage for themselves in the transfers.
