The Pat Kenny Show · By-election update: What’s the latest? · 23 May 2026 podcast

We currently have 42% of boxes tallied and we still have the main three front runners that we've had all morning.

So we have Fine Gael's Sean Cain and Independent Ireland's Noel Thomas basically neck and neck with Noel Thomas at 20% and Sean Cain just ahead of him on 21%.

Labour then is taking up the third spot with Helen Ogbue on 12%.

Now, she was kind of a bit closer to the two men when we were just counting the Galway City boxes, but since we've moved into the county boxes and headed out towards Connemara, we've seen that she's kind of struggled to keep up with them as much, but still holding on to that third place very solidly here.

The Pat Kenny Show · By-election update: What do we know? · 23 May 2026 podcast

Good morning, Pat.

Yeah, so we've got about 30% of boxes open here now in Salt Hill and turnout so far is coming in at around 41%.

We've just in the past 40 minutes or so started to move out of the Galway City boxes and into the Galway County ones.

So that's given a boost to the turnout figures.

So far, we've got three kind of clear front runners, Fine Gael, Sean Cain,

is currently at 19% in the lead, followed by Independent Ireland's Noel Thomas at 17%, and he's then followed by Helen Ogboo of Labour at 14%.

Now, those numbers do keep fluctuating.

They kind of keep passing each other out because it is still very early stages here in Galway West too, so it's changing all the time by the minute, practically.

So it's all going to come down to transfers here, very similar to Dublin Central, and it's...

looking like Helen Ogbue will get a good boost there because one can assume that a lot of the left candidates will give the transfers to her.

We've got Sinn Féin currently on 7% and Social Democrats at the same 7%.

So it's likely any transfers there will most likely go to another left candidate because certainly if the opinion polls is anything to go by, Independent Ireland's Noel Thomas is very, he's looking like he's going to get very few second preference votes.

Yeah, so at the moment he's at 6%, so he's just slightly behind the other left-wing parties.

I believe from the people I was speaking to, it wasn't predicted that he would do exceptionally well in this.

It seems he's almost being teed up for future elections to get his name out there.

So I think 6%, the fact that he isn't down the bottom of the barrel, it's a pretty good figure for him.
