Yeah, the result was disappointing insofar as we would have hoped to have got the second seat in Dublin Central.

But I still think that Janice did really well.

It was an amazing campaign.

I think she gave it her all.

Yeah, on the first count, it was really neck and neck and it was just unfortunate the transfers didn't go her way.

But, you know, she was a very strong candidate.

She's been a counsellor for 12 years and I know next week she'll be back to work doing the work that she does on the ground.

I've met Mark, yeah.

I held a meeting down in Galway West recently with himself and Mary Lou in relation to disability in the area.

Really strong candidate, really, really lovely man.

He's a family carer.

He was explaining for, I think it was his aunt, has come into his home.

She has dementia.

Really lovely guy, not been a councillor for too long.

I think it was the last local elections he was elected.

And I'm hoping that he runs in the next generals because I think it seems like name recognition for me

seems to be the trend in Galway West and the way people were voting.

I'd be tempted.

It's early days yet.

Like you were saying there, who knows where we'll be by the time the next general election rolls around.
