Oh Goody

The disadvantage of having a laptop with a live feed of the election results (yes I'm streaming RTE live in the count centre) is that people rush over to hear what's happening.

Is McDowell gone? asked one elderly lady over my shoulder.
"Yes"
"Oh goody" and off she goes smiling.

Was he really THAT hated?

So far in Mallow, Michael Aherne and Ned O'Keeffe (FF) elected, with Sean Sherlock of Labour and Paul Bradford and David Staunton of Fine Gale left in a 4 seat consitituency.
