I saw an Instagram post this morning asking what music each party leader was listening to during #GE24 and the answers are...well:

Micheál Martin: Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, Pavarotti
Simon Harris: Coldplay, Oasis
Mary Lou McDonald: Alison Moyet
Ivana Bacik: Sinéad O'Connor, Julie Feeney, Everything But The Girl
Roderic O'Gorman: Sigur Rós
Richard Boyd Barrett: Ska/Punk/Reggae, Christy Moore
Cian O'Callaghan: Damien Dempsey
Michael Collins: Springsteen, Bryan Adams
Peadar Tóibín: Pixies

Next steps! Please consider getting involved in tenants/workers unions and in community groups, especially if you're also a young person.

Change is about more than voting once every 5 years; it is something we must all collectively fight for day-to-day!

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). But I did spell Labour properly, in this context! #ge24

Tough weekend for the Greens. But we'll be back fighting. A huge thank you to all my voters and the thousands who voted for the Greens.

We'll still be working to push for climate action and social justice and we'll be coming back stronger.
