78 (FF) + (2) PD + (2) FF Inds = 82
51 (FG) + (20) Lab + (6) Greens + (3) Opp Inds = 80
(4) SF Untouchables.
There you have it. If Eric Byrne in Dublin South Central had garnered 70 more votes, he’d have swiped a seat from SF. Appoint the Ceann Comhairle from the FF bloc and bob’s your uncle and Enda’s your Taoiseach.
Didn’t happen.

Simply because I told the lass over on Tirnanog that I’d do it…
This is f*ckology. We can blame bad vote management all we want but I suspect that in addition to cryptosproridium Dick Roche has been slipping Lemming DNA into the water (the crypto was a mistake, he misread the bottle).
Alternatively, we’ve collectively eaten a big wheel of smelly cheese and have fallen asleep. We’ll wake up soon and it will be alright.
Unfortunately, like Rip Van Winkle we’ll wake up in a few years and ask “whaddefook has happened to my village/town/city/country?”.
I for one would look dashing with a long white beard. The Missus less so.
