We didn't win any seats this time, but we fought hard.
We ran People Before Profit candidates in Galway City East, Galway City West, and for Galway County Council in Ballinasloe for the first time.
Adrian Curran in Galway City Central even beat a sitting Councillor.

Fair play Dara Bradley for that headline! Fantastic to have more diversity in City Hall. Congrats Helen Ogbu! #mastodaoine #galwaycityeast #le2024
Me: Put it out of your mind, you've got work to do, the vote count is very slow
Brain: NOPE! #LE2024
#SinnFein really messed up with their strategy to run so many candidates. It’s completely backfired on them with split votes.
I also think their recent views on immigration hasn’t helped them. Courting far right views isn’t going to work if you’re trying to promote yourselves as a progressive left party.
@ownohmanny @clickhere They’ve now added a page for confirmed filled local seats: ‘Who is my local councillor? Here's a list of all the seats filled so far’

#Tallyman tallyman, tally me bananas!
When might we expect some full first tallies, I'm wondering?
A humongous act of patience is now required from Irish political geeks as election results will be sloooow. Saturday, the first count details in the Local Election will be a while in arriving during the day. And counting for the EU Parliament will only start after 10pm Sunday.
The Limerick mayor election counting is not expected to begin until Monday. THE TALLYMAN COMETH

30% turn out of those on the register to vote is low. Also I wonder how many people who are eligible to vote are not in the register.
Two hours left to VOTE!
Get out there if you haven't yet.
Very impressed with Gavin's explanation, using smarties.

LIVE: Young people urged to use their vote as polling underway to elect councillors, MEPs, and Limerick's mayor https://jrnl.ie/6400029.
And remember no preferences for Fascists or Racists or those who oppose human rights.

What is your plan for going to #Vote tomorrow?
If you have a plan you are more likely to go.
What's your plan for getting to the polling station tomorrow for the Irish and European elections?
I am not hearing much buzz about voting, and creating voter apathy is one of the far right's paths to power.
Use your vote, and keep the far right out!
