    You're calling Heydon (FG) & Miley (FF) have the same smaller population area to take seats - both these are pulling from the same base can't see both making it - Dalton (FF) may receive a FF backlash but so will Miley & I can't see Dalton based in the town losing without a fight - there's an extra seat in this area this year so this could save FF - head is saying the two FF's will hold on, Hillis (FG) & then a scramble between Lab & FG for the last seat

    I agree with paperweight... 2 FF 1 FG 1 LAB with Hillis & Heydon scrapping for the FG seat... Dalton might well be made sweat tho...

    No - presume they would of both being pulling out of the same pot, will be interesting though if Wall doesn't manage to take the seat

    Shambolic article in this weeks Nationalist regarding the Athy LEA. The journalist is under the impression that it is still a 3 seater and that renders all of views and assumptions useless. Bring back Chris Fingleton all is forgiven

    Result:
    Wall
    Miley
    Heydon
    Daly

    A nerve-racking last few hours as Daly slowly gained on Dalton to get it
