Sean Defoe

Because when it comes to a general election and it comes to actually getting seats, you know, they're going to be your big rivals now.

So you can't be all nicey-nicey.

It'll be interesting to see how it shakes out at the end of the day.

Craig, talk to me about Gerry Hutch.

Obviously, he's the big name a lot of people will want to know about in this constituency.

Maybe I'm just out of the loop.

I'm still no clearer as to why he wants to be a TD after two campaigns.

Or what his policies are.

I think the only thing we got out of him was some kind of crass comments around immigration and a commitment for him to tell us how many houses he owns if he does get elected.

So we could look forward to that if the day ever comes.

His campaign was a lot more active this time than in the general elective, despite starting off in one of his homes in Lanzarote.

We haven't seen the massive upswell in voter registrations, which he had kind of been hoping to leverage.

It was only about...

I think under 1,000 new registrations in the constituency.

And we would have been expecting to see if there was a Jerry Hutch surge coming, higher turnouts in the areas of the north inner city, for example.

And we heard from Barry White there that that hasn't really materialised.

And I do think his vote will grow just in terms of first preference chair, just because if you look at that Dublin Central constituency, like the number of spoiled votes was quite high, I think around 15% during the presidential election.

And I think that kind of speaks to the kind of really anti-establishment, anti-all kind of existing parties mantra.

So I think he might do better than the 10% of first preference votes he got last time.

And it'll be interesting to see actually from the tallies,
