My Predictions are:
FF 3: Fitzgerald, Foley & Wall
FG 3: Leonard O'Donnell, Pat Hussey, Grace O'Donnell
Lab 2: O'Brien & Spring,
SF 2: Ferris & Foley
Ind 1: Locke
The last seat is hard to call, these are in with a chance: Gillian Wharton-Slattery, Teddy Murphy, Mairead Fernane, Dan Galvin and Peter Antonow.
I will be surprised if FF manage 3 this time - I think Wall may struggle, I think Labour will take 3 easily enough. My Prediction, for what it's worth is:Originally Posted by FrankSpeaks
FF 2: Fitzgerald, Foley
FG 3: Hussey, G O' Donnell, Fernane
Lab 3: O' Brien, Spring, Wharton-Slattery
SF 2: Ferris, Foley
Ind 1: Locke
Murphy, L O' Donnell, Wall or Antonow to take the last.
I think the same really but two independents so a slight difference. For what its worth.
FF 2: Fitzgerald, Foley
FG 3: Hussey, G O' Donnell, Fernane
Lab 3: O' Brien, Spring, Wharton-Slattery
SF 2: Ferris, Foley
Ind 2: Locke,Collins
My prediction is
FF 2; Ted Fitz and Norma Foley with the massive anti FF feeling on doorsteps
FG 3; O'Donnell x 2 and Pat Husey
Labour 4; Galvin, O'Brien, Spring and Wharton-Slattery as there's a huge national swing to FG and Lab
SF 2; Ferris, Foley
Ind 1; Sam Locke

Any rumours/facts/scandals/predictions/tallies from the Tralee locals yet?
Congratulations to all the candidates who have been elected to TTC, hopefully the new faces will make a difference. I felt gutted for Leonard O'Donnell who only lost out by 18 votes. He would have been another new face who could have made a difference.
BTW, all of those who voted against M&S either got thrown out or else their vote was substantially down.
Lets see what the new councillors do with all the promises they made.
Yeah he was unlucky allright no one could see Wharton and Hussey passing him out but he was'nt exactly transfer friendly and with 4 councillors retiring he should of done better.
Hussey's vote was down by 111 which with 3 other FG candidates running was understandable,Ferris took votes from Foley and the SF vote was well up and Commane was always going to be under pressure.
I have not seen the full count details yet. How the hell did Leonard lose out? Two FG candidates caught and passed him out!!! I voted for Mairead myself but she must have done really well on transfers, I suspected for a long while that she would do well but she seemed to be slated as the least likely FG candidate to make it by most people. I always thought that Pat Hussey was the least likely this time for a number of reasons.
Does anyone have the full count details as a PDA?
Tralee Town Council have agree a deal since yereday to deide the major. FG and labour have agreed apsct with newly elected sammy locke. Sammy will get deputy major and become major on the final year of the Council
