My old home constituency is shaping up to be quite interesting. Bertie parachuted in Dr Martin Mansergh which I thought was a bad idea cause Mansergh is about as appealing to the rural vote as a dose of foot and mouth.
But it now looks like it could have been a master stroke, Mansergh stands a chance of getting elected. If he can keep Seamus Healy this side of the winning line until about the 4th count then I think he'll pick up a bunch of Siobhan Ambrose votes and jsut pass Healy at the finish line, but it's going to be really close and depends on a chunk of Phil Prendergasts Labour votes going to Fine Gael.
It's another sign of why Bertie is winning this election when everyone else thought he hadn't a snow balls chance in hell.
Update 26-May: Looks like Mansergh won the third seat by 60 votes in the 8th count. However it's gone to a recount and I hear Healy is taking legal advice.

I'm in Dublin South, but I probably would have voted for him if I could.
