Gavin 'The Man With The Rwanda Plan' Pepper elected to Dublin City Council for Finglas-Ballymun.

"There's two kinds of politicians: the Gavin Peppers and the Gavin Parrots, 'cause whatever I say, they seem to follow it."

Gavin Pepper's official election announcement at the 11th count for Finglas-Ballymun after the redistribution of transfers from the National Party's Stephen Redmond. Over half of Redmond's transfers went to Pepper pushing him 274 votes over the quota.

Interestingly, the People Before Profit candidate picked up 166 transfers from Redmond. 91 transfers went to one Sinn Féin candidate, 52 went to another and a Fianna Fáiler picked up 92.

Kevin Coyle needs transfers from a Sinn Féin candidate to take the sixth seat in Artane-Whitehall. Seems doubtful, unfortunately, as the other candidate in contention is also a shinner.

Rob Carry bows out gracefully after making it all the way until the last count in Bray West. Impressive result and campaign for a first-time candidate.

"It was a big day for nationalists - people who want the best for the people of Ireland. Win or lose, we've started something here. What an experience. I enjoyed every second."

Kevin Coyle narrowly misses the final seat at the last count for Artane-Whitehall with 76 votes in the difference.

But he can be very proud of a remarkable result for a first-time candidate, beating the Greens, People Before Profit, Labour and three Sinn Féin candidates.

Conor McGregor's childhood boxing coach, Phil Sutcliffe, elected in Ballyfermot-Drimnagh without reaching the quota on 1770 votes after the 10th count.

Dolores "Dee Wall" Webster did well getting into the 8th Count. The current Lord Mayor of Dublin, Daithí de Róiste (FF), struggled to retain his seat but came in behind Sutcliffe in the end.

EDIT: de Róiste was actually edged out in the end and lost his seat. Embarrassing.

The Deputy Mayor of Limerick, Abul Kalam Azad Talukder, is returned in Limerick City West.

The Bangladeshi councillor sparked controversy last November when he said he would like to see those involved in the Dublin riots shot in the head or publicly beaten until they are dead.

This is the future of Fianna Fáil, although I could see them rebranding as the Mujahideen of Destiny.

The Left, who are complaining that the Far Right are taking away votes from the Left and Sinn Féin to Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil’s benefit, are now celebrating celebrating Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil immigrant councillors getting elected to own the Fash

Patrick Quinlan becomes the first National Party member elected to public office, taking one of the last two seats in Blanchardstown-Mulhuddart for Fingal County Council after a long delay caused by a Fine Gael candidate requesting a recount.

Just 20 votes put him ahead of the losing Fine Gaeler which should serve as motivator for people to use their vote. We narrowly missed out on final seats at last counts in several wards.

Is linne an todhchaí.

Now official. Audio system was fried at the count centre so I won't post the video.

First interview with Patrick Quinlan after his election to Dublin city council

Philip Dwyer got close in Tallaght Central, making it to the 14th count and narrowly missed taking the last seat like Kevin Coyle. That's an achievement, well done, Phil.
