After the public headed to the polls on Friday, November 29, the process of figuring out just who will be the winners began at 9 am on Saturday. However, today hasn’t come without its fair share of problems – here are just some the blunders noted The first mishap was flagged last night after it was found that ballot papers in the constituency of Limerick City had not listed the candidates names in the correct order. Electoral law states that candidates must be listed in alphabetical order on the ballot paper. However, Sinn Féin’s Maurice Quinlivan and Dean Quinn of the Irish People party were incorrectly placed ahead of Fianna Fáil’s Willie O’Dea and Elisa O’Donovan of the Social Democrats on some ballot papers. While Mr Quinvilan branded the ballot paper error as an ‘absolute scandal’, Fianna Fáil stalwart Willie O’Dea commented that he was ‘stunned’ by the issue, labelling it ‘a disgrace’. However, the issue didn’t seem to impact Mr O’Dea too much as after five counts, he is in the lead with over 8,426 votes Maurice Quinlivan of Sinn Féin and Kieran O’Donnell of Fine Gael are trailing behind Mr O’Dea. The fire alarm has started blaring at the Dun Laoghaire count centre. pic.twitter.com/4GmzLFpjlV Volunteers in the Dun Laoghaire constituency experienced a lengthy slow down this afternoon after a fire alarm in the count centre. The count, which was taking place in Leopardstown, was subject to a delay as the alarm had to be investigated. The count centre also hit the headlines after Fine Gael candidate, Jennifer Carroll MacNeill became the first TD to be elected into the Dáil . We have a wedding ring! One of the counters Peter Creamer has found a wedding ring in a box from Gael Scoil an Choilin in Mullingar. #GE24 pic.twitter.com/blS6D2bfnE Two voters in Donegal and Westmeath were casting sighs of relief after their wedding rings were found in the ballot boxes. As per every single election — be it general, local or referendum — there are usually ‘prizes’ in the ballot box, ranging from religious medals to wedding rings. This time around was no exception after volunteers in both count centres came across the rings as counting kicked off across the nation from 9am this morning. ‘We have a wedding ring!’ it was posted on Twitter (X). ‘One of the counters Peter Creamer has found a wedding ring in a box from Gael Scoil an Choilin in Mullingar.’ Similarly, a note taped to the bottom of the ballot box which came from Scoil Eoghain in Moville — the note left instructions to contact 100 Redress Councillor Ali Farren who had been alerted to a voter losing their ring in the Inishowen area. Returning Officer Kevin Martin has found the first miraculous medal of the Meath East count. He says that in keeping with tradition, one has been found in a ballot box from Ashbourne #GE24 pic.twitter.com/qbu2FlpKCa A returning officer in Co Meath made a ‘miraculous’ discovery while working at a counting centre in the Meath East constituency earlier today after the first religious charm of the year made its way into a ballot box. Miraculous medals are usually small round necklace-type pieces of jewellery showing an image of the Virgin Mary. They have been inserted into ballot boxes with voting cards as part of an old Irish custom, only to be discovered when the votes are counted. Perhaps most shocking of today’s mishaps was that 5,000 votes were forgotten in the final tally for Co Waterford this evening. New Ross Standard journalist Jessica O’Connor took to X to explain that there was some confusion among volunteers in the Waterford count centre after it emerged that 5,000 extra votes were to be added to the final tally. Explaining the mishap, Ms O’Connor wrote: ‘Lots of confusion and a bit of a scramble here in #Waterford as an additional 5,000 votes are to be added to the final tally. They were somehow missed... Lots of confusion and a bit of a scramble here in #Waterford as an additional 5,000 votes are to be added to the final tally. They were somehow missed... 🧐 #GeneralElection2024 #GE24 pic.twitter.com/vBHILTbAA3 ‘To clarify, they were missed on the tally, not the returning officer,’ she added. The Waterford constituency consists of four seats and includes urban centres such as Waterford City, Dungarvan and Tramore, sporting a population of over 127,000 people. A total of 15 candidates are running for election in the Southeastern constituency among them Mary Butler of Fianna Fáil, John Cummins of Fine Gael and David Cullinane of Sinn Féin, who was the first to be elected.Stokes and McCullum need strong start to year that could define Bazball
