Kevin Lyda<p>Twelve seats to go and the numbers support a FF/FG/Lab government. Apparently it is Labour's turn to pay tribute. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE24" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GE24</span></a></p>

emptywheel<p>RTE etc seems slow in reporting this, but Labour's Conor Sheehan won the last seat in Limerick City. If my math is right he must have gotten ~1600 of Dee Ryan's transfers (don't trust my math--I'm new at this PR-STV).
