Meanwhile…
This afternoon.
The Clayton Hotel, Dublin 2
Fianna Fáil workers count ballots, from their party’s membership on the Programme for Government.
The wait will be a little longer. I have just heard that @greenparty_ie will not be in a position to announce the result of the vote until 8pm as the validation of votes took a little longer than expected. @IrishTimes
