And that’s that. Congratulations to @TomClonan, now one of four (4) Senators from Dún Laoghaire, joining his Blackrock brethren, @boyhanvictor, @GCraughwell and @barrymward. #TCDSeanad

Rosingrave (IND): 200 Barry (LP): 189 Ó Giobúin (IND): 182 Scanlon (IND): 170 McDermott (IND): 132 O’Shea (IND): 36 Abbas Ali O'Shea Eliminated Electorate: ~68,000 Total Poll: 13,418 Turnout: 20.1% (-3.0) Quota: 6,718 (2/2)

TCD Seanad By-Election 2022 Count 1: MacNeill (IND): 2,068 Clonan (IND): 1,947 Gaffney (IND): 1,882 Chu (GP): 1,766 Quill (LP): 1,156 McCarthy (IND): 947 O’Neill (IND): 870 Stocker (SD): 521 Oluborode (IND): 471 Bassett (IND): 458 McKenna (IND): 421 (1/2)

Re low voter turnout - it’s easy to say “electorate expansion is needed” or “scrap the franchise entirely” but it’s harder of course, to recognise this by-election: a) was by no means an exciting race, and/or, b) had any particular exciting candidate(s) #TCDSeanad
