Fianna Fáil's stunt candidate for North Inner City, Caio Benicio, knocked out on the 7th count with 441 votes.

The Brazilian delivery rider was credited in the media for neutralising the Algerian suspect in the knife attack on children and their carer on Parnell Square last November. A gofundme was set up in his honour which raised him €370,000.

When interviewed across the media, Benicio never mentioned the Irishman and Frenchman who also contributed to neutralising the attacker. They were omitted from the great majority of coverage and like Benicio today, received nothing.

Malachy Steenson immediately tells RTÉ what he thinks of them after they're forced to lift their Section 31 on him due to his successful election.

"It's not an impartial broadcaster in this matter. It's just an organisation that propagates government propaganda."

Asked what message his election sends:

"It sends a very clear message that the revolution has begun."

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.
