Ten Dáil seats remain to be filled as several recounts get under way this morning.

It’s not really much of a shock,
That the British have bought up Red Rock,
So now will we see,
The folks from TV3,
Flogging the rest of their stock?

Yanis Varoufakis
Sky News reports:
Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis has won a new role advising Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party.
Mr Varoufakis quit the Greek government in July last year after refusing to accept the terms of a third bailout, which imposed further austerity measures on the debt-stricken country.
Mr Corbyn says Mr Varoufakis has recently met shadow chancellor John McDonnell and will advise Labour in “some capacity”.
“Varoufakis is interesting because he has obviously been through all the negotiations (with the ECB, European Commission and International Monetary Fund),” he told his local newspaper the Islington Tribune.
“I think the way Greece has been treated is terrible and we should reach out to them.”
