Counting set to get underway in Dublin Bay South by-election

Counting is set to get under way at 9am.

THE COUNT IN the Dublin Bay South by-election is ready to get under way this morning.

Polling in the contest to replace Fine Gael TD and former minister Eoghan Murphy closed an 10.30pm last night, with counting ready to get under way at the RDS at 9am this morning.

The frontrunners – Labour’s Ivana Bacik, Fine Gael’s James Geoghegan and Sinn Fein’s Lynn Boylan – could face an anxious wait for the outcome, with the possibility that tallying will continue into the weekend.

Turnout in the contest picked up yesterday evening after a relatively slow start.

By around 9pm, the average voter turnout had reached 40%, compared to 34% at 8pm and 24% in the early evening, according to figures from RTÉ.

That is on par with the last by-elections in 2019, when four contests saw turnout of between 25 and 35%.

But it remains well below the 2020 general election, when turnout was 62.9% nationally, and 52% in Dublin Bay South.

This is Ireland’s first electoral contest since the pandemic began, but it remains to be seen if that impacted voter turnout.

A series of safety arrangements were put in place, to ensure the by-election was held in accordance with Covid-19 public health advice.

Hand sanitiser was available at all polling stations, while voters were asked to wear masks and observe social distancing rules when inside.

Polling hours were extended by 30 minutes to assist Covid-19 arrangements, closing at 10.30pm instead of the traditional 10pm.

Other candidates include Deirdre Conroy of Fianna Fáil, and Councillor Claire Byrne running for the Green Party.

The Social Democrats have chosen Sarah Durcan, while the People Before Profit candidate is Brigid Purcell.

The current TDs in the constituency are Fianna Fáil’s Jim O’Callaghan, Sinn Féin’s Chris Andrews and Green party leader Eamon Ryan.

The other candidates in Dublin Bay South are Justin Barrett (National Party), Jacqui Gilbourne (Renua), Mairead Toibin (Aontu) and independents Dolores Cahill, Peter Dooley, Mannix Flynn, John Keigher and Colm O’Keeffe.

    I’m not too pushed one way or another but I wonder how women would rate a sex in the city movie with 4 guys sleeping with everything that moves while they search for a new pair of trainers.

    TAN I think it is a bit remarkable the amount of negativity directed towards the film before it had even been released, and death threats don’t usually accompany a bad film even if it is awful. I agree people are free to like dislike without being called sexist but considering the death threats issued there was some sexism going on regarding this film.

    @demise grad- ive heard there were death threats but didnt see any myself. And thats no excuse for dismissing the legitimate criticism. The trailer had a joke about slime getting EVERYWHERE (wink wink) and the black character shouting AW HELL NO! in the most stereotypical way possible. It was awful, by the numbers comedy that wouldn’t look out of place in Big Bang Theory. That’s what a lot of people were angry about. I love bridesmaids but this looked bad in the trailers.

    While I am happy to FINALLY see an all female cast, I found the lack of black people in this film astonishing. I have only seen the trailer and I am not impressed. #blacklivesmatter

    I found the ghost-on-woman violence disturbing in the extreme. Also the scene where the ghost flies THROUGH the woman without her consent. Penetration, supernatural or otherwise, without consent is RAPE. #blacklivesmatter

    You give the Internet’s humour detecting abilities way too much credit. Best to add “lol”in future.

    I’ve never seen the original tbh, but I want to see this because I love Kate McKinnon and Kristen Wiig. Bad reviews don’t put me off, I’ll make up my own mind.

    Everyone will love Kate McKinnon after this – She’s the real star of the film. And watch the original, it’s great.

    So basically folks should actually see a movie before giving out about it. That’s groundbreaking I tells ya…!!!

    The women or reboot thing doesn’t bother me. The ladies are collectively and individually brilliant by themselves….but the plot of the trailer looks so bloody cheesy. I’d be so surprised if it’s anyway decent

    Was in the minority who actually didn’t hate the trailer when it came out, but I didn’t know at the time and can’t understand why they’d reboot it instead of having this as a continuation, with this new team picking up the mantle after all the years. Anyway, will go into it with an open mind, but its a reboot of one of my favourite films of all time.

    Just to point out that the rotten tomatoes score is only for critics. They haven’t published the audience scores.

    For the hundredth time, it got hate from terrible marketing and a truly abysmal first trailer more than anything about women being cast. I was interested in the new casting choice and will probably see the movie on a Thursday offer price to see if it prove the internet wrong, worth the hate or just a silly blockbuster.

    Unfortunately, we now live in the age of the troll. Trolls are usually talentless and bitter people who try and curry ‘acceptance’ from their supposed peers by becoming keyboard warriors on the lookout for the next thing to slaughter.

    Saw it last night, not bad but not fantastic either, some good moments but overall suffers from not having a central villan character. Can’t compete with Aykroyd, Murray but Melissa Mccarthy and Chris Hemsworth do good jobs, to lesser degree wiig & mckinnon have good moments but are annoying in others; A little cgi heavy as well for my liking without delivering lunch cgi can deliver, overall not as good as original but entertaining

    I’ll see it in a few months when a decent copy is available for download. Then I’ll judge it.

    The thing is that with Sony and Paul Fieg deleting negative reviews, and getting Rotten Tomatoes to delete them and or having one side not count. Of course it is going to look great. Just imaging if Best Buy did that to their review section on their products. You wont know your are buying a POS until you get it home and it fails. I believe there are reviews not being counted to the score of it. I still have no choice to watch it, and to eventually get a digital copy of it. Just FYI.
