    Greens lose all public funding

    Despite losing all their seats the Greens could have maintained some public funding with 2% of the vote but at 1.8% they will not get a brass farthing from the public purse.

    Best news this year.

    The Greens should be now levied for their deceit in foisting fraudulent carbon taxes upon the Irish taxpayer

    That should save a few bob for the economy...

    I am not a follower of any political party but I do believe that today is a great day for Ireland's future
    You know things are bad when you meet Bob The Builder down the dole office and he says even he can't fix it.

    TV3 haven't adjusted the seat projection since 9:00am this morning. Hasn't taken account of any changes during the day. Really stupid leaving it up if it is not going to be updated.
