THERE ARE TWO by-election counts taking place – one in Dublin West and one in Longford Westmeath.
The official results of the second count in Dublin West show that there are just eight votes between Sinn Féin’s Paul Donnelly and the Socialist Party’s Ruth Coppinger.
The first count showed Ruth Coppinger at 5,977 votes – 21 per cent.
Over in Longford Westmeath, the final tally showed Fine Gael’s Gabrielle McFadden had 25 per cent of the vote.
Meanwhile Fine Gael tweeted:
If Coppinger and McFadden win a seat it will be a big win for women in politics, meaning there will be more female TDs than ever before.
Yay!

Now the Truth is known; Justice should follow. There are a rake of offences which should be considered; starting with manslaughter, misleading an inquiry, breach of confidence, conspiracy. Obviously, an independent police investigation must occur.
how could they all live with the lies they told? police and staff are one thing but i think the medical staff should be ashamed of themselves! how could they all go on pretending they did the right thing and live their lives knowing they were unprofessional. all those years knowing that you changed your statement and lay the blame on other people. people who did not deserve to die! justice must be served people need to be held accountable for their actions.
This needs to be done very quickly, enough time has passed while justice waits.
Just rewound to the report on Sky. South Yorkshire police apparently are STILL trying to blame the Liverpool fans and the Attorney General’s office says it may be months before the case is reopened.
The very worst thing is that 41 people could have been saved if there had been a proper catastrophe response in place. Just heartbreaking. Hope someone pays for this. After Heysel, which had happened only four years before, it was a case of believing anything of Liverpool fans.
Get that racist covering-up cow Thatcher on the stand!!
They should take all involved police officers, the FA, The Sun and any other bastards involved with this fiasco / cover up to court.
Do u really thk that an English court is going 2 charge a policeman wth an offence?! This in the news nw but in a few weeks it wl b the families again pushing 4 justice. Gd luck 2 thm but it wl take a very long time
Well they have waited 23 years to get it this far, I have little doubt they will fight for another 23 years if that is what it takes to get true justice.
Not one person will be prosecuted for this crime. See how many people have died in custody, or illegally shot by police in the Uk over the past ten years and then look at the prosecution figures.
have your say
