Low turnouts suit Govts. Please come out and vote this evening! #GE24

Way to go yet but Ruth Coppinger looking strong in #DublinWest. Ruth's election would be quite the addition to the 34th Dáil. Here's hoping. #Election2024

Looking like a battle between myself and FF's Tony Fitzgerald for the last seat in #CorkNorthCentral. Still the underdog I think, but hanging in there. I'll post info as it comes in as the evening progresses....#GE24

Another scenario now arising at #CorkNorthCentral count. The distribution of Social Democrat transfers could set up a tussle between myself and Labour's Eoghan Kenny for the final seat. I'm still the underdog but all to play for #GE24

Journalist just told me that I'm like the Kilkenny hurlers - not beaten until the teams are halfway down the tunnel after the final whistle. Nice compliment. We'll see how it goes. #GE24

Ruth Coppinger elected in Dublin West. A fantastic result for socialist feminism and workers' rights! #GE24

The elimination of Tony Fitzgerald's (FF) 5705 votes will decide who wins the last seat in #CorkNorthCentral - either myself or Eoghan Kenny (Lab). Geography favours me but politics favours Kenny. Kenny has to be a strong favourite now but the next hour will tell a tale. #GE24

Tony Fitzgerald (FF) eliminated in #CorkNorthCentral. His 5700 transfers will determine who wins the seat - either myself or Eoghan Kenny (Lab). Geography favours me but politics favours Kenny. Kenny a strong favourite now I imagine but the next hour or so will tell a tale. GE24

I am now 314 votes ahead of Labour's Eoghan Kenny but facing the distribution of surpluses from Colm Burke (FG), Ken O'Flynn (Independent Ireland) and Padraig O'Sullivan (FF). That's about 1900 votes. The odds aren't good but let's see what happens.....#GE24

I am now 1 vote ahead of Labour's Eoghan Kenny with two surpluses to distribute - Padraig O'Sullivan (347) and Ken O'Flynn (185). Still not over! #GE24

I am now 84 votes behind Labour's Eoin Kenny. The final transfer will be the distribution of Ken O'Flynn's (Independent Ireland) surplus of 185. I may be a political Houdini but I'm not sure I'm that good....#GE24

#CorkNorthCentral - Final result in a few minutes now....

RECOUNT - I have asked for and have been granted a recount here in #CorkNorthCentral after finishing a mere 35 votes behind Labour candidate Eoin Kenny on the last count. #GE24

Count centre at Nemo Rangers getting set up for the recount which will decide whether the 5th seat in #CorkNorthCentral goes to myself or Labour's Eoghan Kenny. #GE

Election 2024 in Cork — Mick Barry concedes as Labour wins last seat in North Central....My team were right to call a recount last night with just 35 votes separating myself and Lab's Eoghan Kenny but by 5pm it was clear we weren't closing that gap.#GE24 irishexaminer.com/news/munster/a…

Beaten for the last seat in #CNC by a narrow margin. A big thank you to those who voted for me, those who took the time to talk to me during #GE24 and especially to the 124 socialists, trade unionists, queer activists, feminists and Palestine activists who carried my campaign.

There'll be no Left Govt this time round but there should be a strong Left Opposition. Lab and the SocDems should rule out any coalition with FF or FG, oppose a system which puts profit before people and join in building a housing protest movement on the streets. #GE24
