Norris is back in and 3 TD's away from a nomination.

TDs or Senators. It's hard though to figure out where those 3 nominations would come from. Shane Ross one presumes is gettable, but apart from that?

The county council option might still be a viable route though.

I wish Red C would distinguish between the ULA-ers and "others". I wish all polling companies would do that, actually.

I understand RedC would have no issue doing so, but that they are simply following their terms of reference from SBP.

Looks like the 20 Oireachtas nominations route is beyond Norris now with Mattie McGrath's decision not to sign his papers.

But he has just gotten the backing of Laois County Council; will probably get Dublin City Council later today as well.

Carlow and Roscommon CCs are meeting today as well and could nominate either Norris or Dana. Another 7 or so councils are meeting tomorow.

Looks like both will get sufficient council nominations in time.

Carlow split 5-5 on the Norris nomination. Chairman (FG) cast against - they've apparently nominated Dana now, giving her her 1st nomination.

Limerick and Roscommon CCs are about to hold meetings now.

So basically all our Irish members vote the same way? Cool.

And are clearly not remotely representative of the Irish electorate.

Otherwise the impending Norris landslide is going to take the media by surprise.

Official Results Website

Counting has begun, and if super early indications are anything to go by Higgins may be a bit ahead of Gallagher on first preferences, and one would presume he'd hold or build on that through subsequent counts.

Irish Times's Live Blog

On referenda (which won't be counted until after the Presidential votes), it looks like Judicial pay will pass; but Oireachtas Enquiries could fail.

I've not seen anything from Dublin West yet on the by-election.

RTE One will be broadcasting special election programmes at 1100 (0600 EDT), 1500 (1000 EDT) and 2030 (1530 EDT) with RTE News broadcasting the whole thing from start to finish on Friday as well. BBC Parliament do not appear to be simulcasting anything (but that might change as today goes on) so if you do not want to be tied to a computer and you live in the UK you can either a) have a aerial that points towards the Irish Republic or b) tune to channel 0160 on Sky for RTE Radio 1, 0164 for RTE 2FM or if you fancy your Gaelic skills 0166 for RTE R na G

Argh. Perennially disappointed with the Beeb's (non-existent) election coverage.

Which, given the number of Irish citizens here, is not exactly excusable...

Do Irish citizens care about the Irish presidential election?

Yes. I think so. Maybe not as much as for other political offices, but it does I think exercise quite a few people who their national representative is. The best quanitative guide to your question though is probably turnout, which will probably be around 50%.

(The 2009 local/European elections had a turnout of 58%. This year's General was 70%.)

Looks like Michael D will not be the shortest Head of State in the world. He's 5'4" apparently - giving him an inch on Kim Jong-il.

Dmitry Medvedev is also a reported 5'4"; with Sarkozy and Berlusconi but an inch taller.

Looks like there's no chance FG will be able to reclaim their election expenses. Grin
