And then I think this is a fascinating ultimate transfer battle where you're going to have the eliminations probably of Fine Gael and Hutch electing one of the Sock Dems and Sinn Féin.
Yeah, there is a subplot of the Greens doing quite well here.
changed the game and they went heavily socked ems in the general election.
Joined on the line now by the former Fine Gael minister, Michael Ring.
Michael, obviously a former by-election candidate in 1994, former by-election winner, I should say, rather than candidate.
Only three candidates, I believe, in that by-election back then.
Michael, it feels like very different to today when we're going to be counting until God knows when in Galway.
OK, Michael Ring, listen, thanks for joining us.
Sorry the line not amazing there.
And certainly people in Fine Gael are talking up Sean Coyne's chances in the early tallies.
Also on the line, Marie Sherlock, Labour Party TD for Dublin Central, who obviously in that dramatic fashion beat out Gerry Hutch in the general election.
Marie, how do you see today going in Dublin Central?
It looks to be again a pretty straight shootout between the Sock Dems and Sinn Féin.
OK, Marisha, thanks for joining us there.
On the turnout, briefly, we've got 40%-ish in Dublin Central, 44.5% in Galway West.
And people are saying, oh God, that's terrible.
It's actually better than I think a lot of people thought would be, because if you look through the 2010s when there was by-elections, the average drop from a general election to a by-election was 24 points in terms of turnout.
It's only about 12 in each of those.
So, yeah, not great still, but it's better than some.
Conor, I suppose final thoughts on where you think both of these are going.
