Bob Bryar, the drummer for My Chemical Romance, posted a chilling message about a late fellow musician on social media before he was found dead . The music world was plunged into grief on Friday when it was announced that Bob had been discovered dead in his home at the age of 44 earlier in the week. The drummer was found in his Tennessee residence on Wednesday, with one report describing him as "badly decomposed." He was last seen in public over three weeks prior, on Monday, November 4. Before his tragic passing, Bob had honored Chester Bennington, the late Linkin Park singer who committed suicide in July 2017 at the age of 41. After the death of their lead singer, Linkin Park disbanded but reformed earlier this year, introducing vocalist Emily Armstrong as the new lead singer. My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar found dead in his home at 44 My Chemical Romance star Bob Bryar 'lay undiscovered for weeks' before being found dead in his home The band has since released a chart-topping album and plans to tour globally in 2025. However, Emily faced criticism from some Linkin Park fans who questioned her addition to the lineup. A day after his last public appearance, Bob took to social media to praise Emily, applauding her work with the rock band. On X, he wrote: "Emily armstrong is destroying, shredding faces and making Chester proud. she was the perfect choice. AND she had to deal with the initial hate. that s--- is hard. trust me. word up." The drummer, who had expressed support for the Republican Party ahead of the 2025 US Presidential election, had posted several seemingly politically charged comments about the Republicans before suddenly falling silent on election day. Tragically, it was revealed on Friday that Bob's lifeless body had been discovered at his home. According to TMZ , local authorities do not suspect foul play in his passing. The outlet reported that animal control specialists recovered two dogs from the property and sadly noted that the musician's body was "badly decomposed" upon discovery. The cause of death has not been disclosed. Bob joined My Chemical Romance in 2004, replacing original drummer Matt Pelissier, shortly after the release of their second album, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, which featured hit singles like I'm Not Okay (I Promise) and Thank You for the Venom. In 2007, while on tour, Bob had to take a break from drumming due to a wrist injury but continued to work with the band on pyrotechnics and special effects. He left the band in March 2010 after contributing to their fourth album. After his departure, Bob transitioned into real estate while still working behind-the-scenes on music tours, eventually retiring from the music industry in 2021.

So when introduced as their new shortstop Thursday, Adames looked to his left and gently put a hand on manager Bob Melvin's right shoulder, smiled and said, "if he lets me." Melvin might not need much convincing, thrilled to suddenly have stability at a position that lacked continuity this year in his first season as skipper. Editor's Picks Giants add ex-GM Evans and Posey's agent Berry 6d MLB winter meetings winners, losers and who needs to make a big move next 9h MLB Insiders Who has the most work to do? Where all 30 MLB teams stand ahead of winter meetings 7d Bradford Doolittle Adames didn't hesitate to also offer a thought to new boss Buster Posey: He plans to win a few championships with the Giants just like the catcher-turned-executive did here. Surrounded by his parents and other family and friends, Adames was formally introduced and welcomed at Oracle Park after signing a $182 million, seven-year contract - the first big, splashy move made by Posey since he became President of Baseball Operations in late September. "There's no words to describe my feeling right now to be here in this beautiful city, I'm just so happy to be here," Adames said. "... This is a dream come true for me. I'm thrilled to be here, I'm so excited. Hopefully we can win a few championships like you did, and that's one of the main reasons I'm here." Everyone who has encountered Adames so far can't wait for him to get to work as an example both on the diamond and in the clubhouse. "He's a unique connector of people," Posey shared from Craig Counsell's description of the 29-year-old infielder from the Dominican Republic. "That really struck me because I think to win championships you have to have personalities like Willy that they're able to identify with everybody in the clubhouse, and that's not just players. I heard from multiple people that Willy treats everybody with the utmost respect. He plays with energy, he plays with joy and I know that our fans are just going to be thrilled to watch him compete on a daily basis." Adames' deal marks the richest contract for San Francisco since Posey reached a $167 million, nine-year pact in 2013. "I didn't know 'til it was done. I was like 'wow,'" Adames said. From afar, Adames watched the legacy left by his hero Derek Jeter that went far beyond the baseball diamond. And that's as important to Adames as playing all 162 after he appeared in 161 games last season for Milwaukee. He considers part of his role to help the young players learn "to be a professional" and lead a club that has missed the playoffs the past three years in winning the right way. "For me that comes first, it comes first to be a great human being. I've got to thank my parents for that, they raised me the right way, to try to treat everybody the same, it doesn't matter what you're doing," Adames said. "I think that's something that I'm really proud of, just to be the same guy every day, to be kind, just to give love back to people because there's a lot of hate out there and I don't really like that." The Giants know Adames' positive influence could go far. Asked about the instability at shortstop, Melvin noted, "Well, it's not a problem now." Adames gives the Giants a power bat and reliable defense at his position. This year for the Brewers, he produced his best offensive season in the big leagues, batting .251 with a career-high 32 home runs and 112 RBI. "Look, every team wants a Willy Adames on their team. I think the thing that strikes me the most is when I'd watch him play a couple times a year on the other side was he never looked like he had a bad day," Melvin said. "It always looked like every day was opening day to him. That enthusiasm when your best players are like that - Matt Chapman is like that, too - it's easy for everybody to have to fall in and play in that type of style. It's easier said than done but really for me that's the thing that struck me most is how much he loved playing baseball." Adames is close friends with former Giants third baseman Matt Duffy , who shared his own experiences being part of the San Francisco franchise. It all became real when Adames pulled on his new cream-colored Giants jersey and buttoned it up, saying, "I'm a little nervous about this." A few moments later, the cap went on his head and he felt right at home. "It looks amazing."

Conor McGregor must pay $250K to woman who says he raped her, civil jury rules
Every Australian child will be able to attend childcare for at least three days a week to "give them the best possible start in life". Login or signup to continue reading Families earning less than $530,000 a year will be guaranteed access to the government's child care subsidy for three days a week if Labor is re-elected. "There's some children that are really cut out or locked out of the system through no fault of their own because of the circumstances their parents," Education Minister Jason Clare told ABC TV on Wednesday. "They can't get access to three days of early education a week and that inevitably means that these children start behind the rest of the classroom when they go to kindergarten or prep and this is about fixing that." Labor will also scrap the activity test, which requires parents to be in paid work to access the subsidies. The test "was a punitive policy that has locked out as many as 126,000 children, particularly from lower income households, disadvantaged backgrounds and First Nations children", The Parenthood's Georgie Dent told Sky News. One in five children started school "developmentally vulnerable" and this increased to two in five among Indigenous kids, she said. "When children arrive at school behind it is incredibly difficult for them to catch up to their peers over the course of their life, so we've got this window between zero and five, where we can set the trajectory of a little person's life." Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will launch the policy at the Building Early Education for Australia's Future event in Brisbane on Wednesday. It would benefit about 66,000 families, he said as he defended the income threshold. "This is about children, just as everyone can send their child to the local public school or the local high school because we understand that these issues are universal," he told ABC radio. "We want every child to be able to access three days of quality early education." Deputy Liberal Leader Sussan Ley questioned how much it would cost taxpayers. "Who is going to pay? We want to see affordable, accessible childcare, of course we do, but it has to be sustainable," she said. The announcement follows a September Productivity Commission report, which found children from vulnerable or disadvantaged communities would benefit most from early childhood education but were also the least likely to attend. A universal childcare system would ensure every child aged up to five has access to high-quality early childhood education and care for at least 30 hours or three days a week, for 48 weeks of the year. The best way to achieve this and boost attendance for low and middle income earners was to scrap the activity test and expand funding for families earning up to $80,000 and households less than $140,000 with multiple children under five. Universal early childhood education and care supports women in the workforce, reduces developmental vulnerabilities and transforms lives, associate commissioner and report co-author Deborah Brennan says.

China-based GAC Group has launched a new eVTOL-focused brand called GOVY, expanding its efforts in sustainable air transportation. The new flying car brand focuses on designing, producing, and supporting flying cars and related products. Moreover, its flagship aircraft, AirJet, is claimed to operate as an air taxi for up to 124 miles. Drawing on GAC’s automotive experience and in-house technology, GOVY aims to offer practical solutions for urban and intercity mobility. Latest step in sustainable air transportation The company introduced the AirJet as part of the brand’s debut. This marks GAC’s second flying car concept in two years, with the AirJet taking a more traditional eVTOL approach. The AirJet is a composite-wing flying car with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. Made of over 90 percent carbon fiber, it weighs just one-third of a car body of the same size, enabling longer electric flights. Like other eVTOLs, it lifts off vertically and transitions its rotors mid-air for efficient cruising. The AirJet joins GAC’s AirCar in development as the automaker expands its offerings in sustainable air travel. GAC envisions the AirCar for zero-emission trips up to 20 km (12.4 miles), while the AirJet is designed to operate as an air taxi for longer journeys up to 200 km (124 miles). The eVTOL features a high-performance electric drive system developed by GAC, reaching a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) and recharging in just 30 minutes. The AirJet features a luxury cabin with a “1+1+X” seating arrangement and autonomous flight capabilities. The eVTOL is equipped with advanced safety features, including redundant power and control systems, real-time monitoring, and obstacle detection to ensure a secure flight. Robo-AirTaxi system for efficient smart mobility Currently, the AirJet has a range of 200 km (124 miles), but GAC expects future solid-state batteries to extend this to 400 km (249 miles). The company plans to start airworthiness certification for its eVTOLs in 2025 and set up an assembly line to support commercial operations in China. This step will help prepare for the introduction of its flying cars to the market. GAC also announced its Robo-AirTaxi system, combining ground and aerial transport for seamless smart mobility. The system will use the multi-rotor GOVY AirCar for urban trips under 20 km (12 miles) and the AirJet for mid-range travel up to 200 km (124 miles). The goal is to establish a “40-minute Greater Bay Area life circle,” enabling faster intercity connections while cutting transit times and costs, the company says. By 2025, GAC plans to secure airworthiness certification for its flying cars, set up production lines, and start pre-orders, moving forward with the commercialization of low-altitude mobility. With plans for demonstration operations in 2-3 Greater Bay Area cities by 2027, the Chinese company is working to shape the future of urban mobility with smarter and more sustainable technologies.Realme has announced the launch of the Realme 14 Pro series.

ANDERSON TOWNSHIP, Ohio (AP) — Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow's home was broken into during Monday Night Football in the latest home invasion of a pro athlete in the U.S., authorities said Tuesday. No one was injured in the break-in, but the home was ransacked, according to a report provided by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. Deputies weren't immediately able to determine what items were stolen. A person who is employed by Burrow arrived at the Anderson Township home Monday night to find a shattered bedroom window and the home in disarray. The person called their mother, and then 911 was contacted, according to the report. Deputies reached out to neighbors in an attempt to piece together surveillance footage. “Our investigators are exploring every avenue,” public information officer Kyla Woods said. The homes of Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were broken into in October. In the NBA , Milwaukee Bucks forward Bobby Portis had his home broken into Nov. 2 and Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley Jr.'s home was burglarized on Sept. 15 while he was at a Minnesota Vikings game. Portis had offered a $40,000 reward for information. Both the NFL and NBA issued security alerts to players after those break-ins, urging them to take additional precautions to secure their homes. In league memos previously obtained by The Associated Press, the NFL said homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.” And the NBA revealed that the FBI has connected some burglaries to “transnational South American Theft Groups” that are “reportedly well-organized, sophisticated rings that incorporate advanced techniques and technologies, including pre-surveillance, drones, and signal jamming devices.” Some of the burglary groups have conducted extensive surveillance on targets, including attempted home deliveries and posing as grounds maintenance or joggers in the neighborhood, according to officials. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflTHE HAGUE (AP) — The world’s top war-crimes court issued arrest warrants Thursday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister and Hamas’ military chief, accusing them of crimes against humanity in connection with the 13-month war in Gaza. The warrants said there was reason to believe Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant have used “starvation as a method of warfare” by restricting humanitarian aid and have intentionally targeted civilians in Israel’s campaign against Hamas in Gaza — charges Israeli officials deny. The action by the International Criminal Court came as the death toll from Israel’s campaign in Gaza passed 44,000 people, according to local health authorities, who say more than half of those killed were women and children. Their count does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. Experts say hunger has become widespread across Gaza and may have reached famine levels in the north of the territory, which is under siege by Israeli troops. Israel says it has been working hard to improve entry of aid, though the trickle of supplies into Gaza remains near the lowest levels of the war. Netanyahu condemned the warrant against him, saying Israel “rejects with disgust the absurd and false actions” by the court. In a statement released by his office, he said: “There is nothing more just than the war that Israel has been waging in Gaza.” Gallant, in a statement, said the decision "sets a dangerous precedent against the right to self-defense and moral warfare and encourages murderous terrorism.” The warrant marked the first time that a sitting leader of a major Western ally has been accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity by a global court of justice. The decision turns Netanyahu and the others into internationally wanted suspects, putting them at risk of arrest when they travel abroad and potentially further isolating them . Israel and its top ally, the United States, are not members of the court. But others of Israel's allies, including some of its close European friends, are put in an awkward position. Several, including France, welcomed the court's decision and signaled they might arrest Netanyahu if he visited. The move “represents the most dramatic step yet in the court’s involvement in the conflict between Israel and Hamas," said Anthony Dworkin, senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Israeli leaders, politicians and officials across the spectrum denounced the warrants and the ICC. The new defense minister, Israel Katz, who replaced Gallant earlier this month, said Thursday’s decision is “a moral disgrace, entirely tainted by antisemitism, and drags the international judicial system to an unprecedented low.” Human rights groups applauded the move. The warrants against both sides “break through the perception that certain individuals are beyond the reach of the law,” the associate international justice director at Human Rights Watch, Balkees Jarrah, said in a statement. The decision came six months after ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan requested the warrants. The court issued a warrant for Mohammed Deif, head of Hamas’ armed wing, over the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks that triggered Israel’s offensive in Gaza. It said it found reasonable grounds to believe Deif was involved in murder, rape, torture and the taking of hostages amounting to war crimes and crimes against humanity. In the Hamas-led attack, militants stormed into southern Israel, killing 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and taking some 250 others hostage. Around 100 Israelis remain captive in Gaza, around a third of them believed to be dead. Khan withdrew requests for warrants for two other senior Hamas figures, Yahya Sinwar and Ismail Haniyeh , who have both since been killed. Israel says it also killed Deif in an airstrike, but Hamas has never confirmed his death. The warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant were issued by a three-judge panel in a unanimous decision. The panel said there were reasonable grounds to believe that both men bear responsibility for the war crime of starvation and the crimes against humanity of murder, persecution and other inhumane acts. The judges said the lack of food, water, electricity, fuel and specific medical supplies created conditions “calculated to bring about the destruction of part of the civilian population in Gaza,” including the deaths of children due to malnutrition and dehydration. They also found that by preventing hospital supplies and medicine from getting into Gaza, doctors were forced to operate, including performing amputations, without anesthesia or with unsafe means of sedation that led to “great suffering.” Israeli diplomatic officials said the government is lobbying the international community to speak out against the warrants and is considering an appeal to the court. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity pending a formal decision on how the government will proceed. Despite the warrants, none of the suspects is likely to face judges in The Hague anytime soon. Member countries are required to detain suspects facing a warrant if they set foot on their soil, but the court has no way to enforce that. For example, Russian President Vladimir Putin, wanted on an ICC warrant for alleged war crimes in Ukraine, recently visited Mongolia, a member state in the court but also a Russian ally. He was not arrested. Still, the threat of arrest now complicates any travel abroad by Netanyahu and Gallant. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the warrants are binding on all 27 members countries of the European Union. France signaled it could arrest Netanyahu if he came to its territory. Foreign Ministry spokesman Christophe Lemoine called it a “complex legal issue” but said France supports the court’s actions. “Combating impunity is our priority,” he said. “Our response will align with these principles.” Hamas in a statement welcomed the warrants against Netanyahu and Gallant but made no mention of the one against Deif. Israel’s opposition leaders fiercely criticized the ICC’s move. Benny Gantz, a retired general and political rival to Netanyahu, said it showed “moral blindness” and was a “shameful stain of historic proportion that will never be forgotten.” Israel’s campaign has caused heavy destruction across Gaza and driven almost the entire population of 2.3 million people from their homes, leaving most dependent on aid to survive. Two days after Hamas’ attack on southern Israel, Gallant announced a total seal on Gaza, vowing not to let in food, fuel or other supplies. Under U.S. pressure, Israel began allowing a trickle of humanitarian aid to enter a few weeks later. Israel now says it puts no limit on the supplies permitted into Gaza, and it blames the U.N. distribution system. But Israel's official figures show the amount of aid it has let in has plunged since the beginning of October. The U.N has blamed Israeli military restrictions, along with widespread lawlessness that has led to theft of aid shipments. The case at the ICC is separate from another legal battle Israel is waging at the top U.N. court, the International Court of Justice, in which South Africa accuses Israel of genocide , an allegation Israeli leaders staunchly deny. Lawyers for Israel argued in court that the war in Gaza was a legitimate defense of its people and that it was Hamas militants who were guilty of genocide. ___ Associated Press journalists Raf Casert in Brussels, Mike Corder in The Hague and Josef Federman in Jerusalem contributed to this report.

In the late 90s and 2000s was the best-selling phone brand with over 40 percent market share. That dominance however faded away as Samsung, Apple, and other aggressive Chinese OEMs took away the market share. The Finnish brand has made steady strides after being acquired by HMD Global, focusing on value, durability, and software experience. To remember the glory years of Nokia, Helsinki-based Aalto University (a renowned research school) has launched the Nokia Design Archive to maintain a repository of 20,000 items from the brand during the period of the mid-90s to 2017. This includes secret Nokia concepts and materials maintained in a digital format. Users will also be able to get access to the ideation, sketches, and designer interviews starting January 15 next year. Designer: According to Kaisu Savola, Aalto University post-doctoral researcher, “Technology doesn’t just shape us; we shape technology. When we started the project, the focus was on objects. As we began going through the material, we soon realized that it was about people.” The highlight of the archive will be the Nokia 3310 brick phone, the Nokia 8810 banana phone used by Keanu Reaves in The 1999 The Matrix movie, and the Nokia 7280 lipstick phone that was a bold choice for millennials. The motive of this research initially was on objects but transitioning through the material made the team realize it was more about people. During the first phase, the online portal will have a fraction of the stories, images, prototypes licensed by Microsoft Mobile, and later on more Nokia stories will be added. The digital files will amount to 959GB of valuable repository that’ll take loyal fans back in time. We at Yanko Design just can’t wait to go through the preserved material of the Nokia N83, more commonly known as the multimedia computer of the Symbian Series 60. Similarly, the Nokia 3210 released in 1999 ushered in an era of phone customization and had an interesting piece of history associated with it. Another unforgettable piece of Nokia’s legacy is the factory ringtone. the 1902 Gran Vals by Francisco Tárrega that was heard approximately 1.8 bn times a day around the globe. Also, the sneak peek at the wildest concept ideas like virtual reality glasses from the Finnish brand’s glory years is going to be a nostalgic ride down memory lane!Gilbert makes clutch layup, steal as No. 7 LSU beats Washington 68-67 in the Bahamas

The exact identity of the 34th Dáil isn't known for certain after day one of counting in the General Election. Going into Saturday, 174 TDs were set to be elected across 43 constituencies. The Irish Examiner were all across those constituencies to watch the action unfold. Our live blog for the overall results is still up and running - you can follow along here . Here is how day one broke down.

However, his colleague in Government, Health Minister Stephen Donnelly received just 3,553 first preference votes. That left him fourth in a four seat constituency and in a real battle to retain his seat. 9.25pm We got our first elected candidate in Laois . Long-time councillor for Fine Gael Willie Aird took the seat which was vacated by the retiring Charlie Flanagan. He exceeded the quota on the fifth count. 9.20pm Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín was re-elected in Meath West after reaching the quota on the fourth count. 9.10pm Fine Gael’s Emer Currie was elected on the second count in Dublin West , securing the constituency’s third seat. Ms Currie received 788 transfers from Fianna Fáil’s Jack Chambers, bringing her total count to 7,579. She joined Mr Chambers and Sinn Fein’s Paul Donnelly who were elected on the first count. 8.55pm Michael Fitzmaurice was elected in Roscommon-Galway . The Independent Ireland candidate exceeded the quota of 10,283 on the first count with 12,002 votes. 8.50pm The nightmare continued the Green Party. Ossian Smyth was eliminated after the fifth count in Dún Laoghaire . The Minister of State picked up 886 transfers from the Labour Party's Martha Fanning, taking him to 5,320, but it wasn't enough to get him back ahead of Social Democrat candidate Hugo Mills. 8.30pm Mary Lou McDonald was elected on the third count. The Sinn Féin leader exceeded the 6,551 quota in the four-seater constituency of Dublin Central . Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch sat in fourth with 3,295 votes behind Paschal Donohoe of Fine Gael and Gary Gannon of the Social Democrats. He was more than 600 votes clear of Labour's Marie Sherlock in fifth place. 8.25pm Neale Richmond of Fine Gael has held his seat in Dublin Rathdown . His 10,044 votes exceeded the quota. The Green Party minister Catherine Martin was placed sixth in the four-seat constituency. 8pm While some constituencies are yet to declare a first count, Fingal West are on to their fifth - and we have an elected candidate. Louise O'Reilly of Sinn Féin has exceeded the quote on count five. 7.45pm On the third count in Meath West , Sinn Féín's Johnny Guirke has exceeded the quota. It is the first of three seats in the constituency to be decided. More than 40% of the eliminated candidate Ronan Moore's 2,542 transfers went to Mr Guirke, taking him over the line. 7.40pm The second count is in in Dublin Central and no one has been elected. Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald sits just 41 votes off the quota so will be elected on the third count. Fine Gael's Paschal Donohoe is second and Social Democrat candidate Gary Gannon seems comfortable in third. However, Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch has extended his lead in fourth over Labour's Marie Sherlock. Mr Hutch has 3,187 votes compared to Ms Sherlock's 2,505. 7.10pm Ivana Bacik, arriving in the RDS, says that Labour has gotten a “strong result” across the country and that it follows momentum in the years since the party won a by-election in Dublin Bay South in 2021. “It’s building on that momentum and certainly there’s an appetite for Labour’s message of constructive, positive change,” Ms Bacik said. Asked if she expected to go into government, Ms Bacik said: “Certainly, I don’t think anyone would have any expectation of going into government. That’s a matter for the people.” She reiterated that Labour would speak with both the Social Democrats and the Greens before any further government negotiations. When asked if Labour should have a merger with the Greens, given their poor results, Ms Bacik said that nobody is talking about that currently. 7.05pm The first of the major party leaders has been elected. Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin topped the poll in Cork South Central and exceeded the quota by more than 4,000 votes. You can read more in our live blog tracking the results across Cork. 7pm We have our first significant casualty for the Green Party. Minister of State Joe O’Brien has been eliminated in Fingal West . 6.55pm The Finance Minister has been elected in Dublin West . Fianna Fáil's Jack Chambers easily passed the quota of 7,373 to top the poll with over 9,000 first preference votes. Sinn Féin’s Paul Donnelly received 7,731 votes to also exceed the quota. They have both been elected. 6.50pm Another big name has retained their seat. Sinn Féin's Eoin Ó Broin has topped the poll with 9,892 votes in Dublin Mid-West and passed the quota to be elected. 6.45pm Wexford's first count has seen an election and it's Independent candidate Verona Murphy. Her total of 11,340 was well past the quota of 10,502. There are four seats in the constituency. 6.40pm Count one for Limerick City is in. Fianna Fáil's Willie O'Dea is in pole position with 8,214 votes, just 221 off the quota. Maurice Quinlavan's 5,936 votes puts him in second place for Sinn Féin. 6.30pm Sinn Féin are off the mark in the election - David Cullinane has been elected in Waterford . He passed the quota of 10,731 on the first count with 11,396 votes. Fine Gael's John Cummins is poised to join him after gaining 10,376 votes. The constituency returns four seats. 6.25pm Some constituencies are yet to return a first count, but Meath West have returned their second! Just five of the 12 candidates remain with the Social Democrats Ronan Moore being eliminated in the second count, despite picking up the most transfers (702). Sinn Féin TD Johnny Guirke remains out in front with 23pc of the vote and just 500 votes short of the quota. Moore’s transfer’s may well put him over the line in the next count. Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín is following closely with 20pc of the vote. He has arrived at the count centre in Trim and is upbeat. He thinks Aontú might bring home three seats. Fianna Fáil councillor Aisling Dempsey (17pc) and Fine Gael councillor Linda Nelson Murray (16pc) are in a battle for the final seat. Former Fine Gael turned independent councillor Noel French is in fifth on 11pc and looks to be out of the running. Just under 58pc of eligible voters cast a ballot. There were 230 spoiled votes 6.20pm The Dublin Central first count is in. Mary Lou McDonald, unsurprisingly, topped the poll with 6,389 votes. She was short of the quota of 6,551. Public Expenditure Minister Paschal Donohoe is second with 5,493 votes. The race for the other two seats is very, very tight with the Social Democrats' Gary Gannon on 4,353 and Independent Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch sitting on 3,098. Labour's Marie Sherlock is on 2,465. 6.10pm To Offaly , where the first count has been completed, Carol Nolan has topped the poll with 8,282. She is still short of the quota of 9,347. No candidate has reached that tally as of yet. In Wicklow-Wexford , no candidate has reached the 9,560 quota there either. Fine Gael's Brian Brennan tops the poll, with Fianna Fáil's Malcom Byrne also looking set to win one of the three seats available. 6.05pm The first count in Dublin Bay South has now been completed too. The four-seated constituency had a quota of 7,957. James Geoghegan has topped the poll with 6,060 votes with Labour leader Ivana Bacik in second with 5,684. Jim O'Callaghan of Fianna Fáil is third with 5,536 and Sinn Féin's Chris Andrews is fourth in 4,875. 6pm The first count in Laois has been completed. No candidate has reached the quota. Willie Aird has topped the poll with 9,269 votes. In Fingal East , Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien has topped the poll but is yet to reach the quota. His total of 8,906 is short of the 9,475 quota with Ann Graves of Sinn Féin in second and Labour's Duncan Smith in third in the three-seater constituency 5.35pm The first count in Limerick County is in and we have a second TD elected. The Higher Education Minister Patrick O'Donovan of Fine Gael has held his seat. He earned 11,563 votes from the first count, over the quote of 11,385. Richard O'Donoghue of Independent Ireland is in second at 10,540 votes. Niall Collins of Fianna Fáil is also in the hunt with 9,284. 5.30pm Mary Lou McDonald has arrived to the RDS count centre. Political editor Elaine Loughlin was there as the Sinn Féin leader predicted a “battle royale” for the last seat which Gerard ‘the Monk’ Hutch is in contention for. Arriving at the RDS, Ms McDonald said it is clear now that there is a strong appetite for change, and she will be speaking to others on the left after the votes are counted. She added that she is going to “knuckle down now” and do everything she can to "to bring about change”. Asked about the fact that the Monk is expected to be in fourth position in the four-seat constituency when first preference votes are counted, she said: “The last seat is in the balance.” She added: “It’s going to be a battle royale.” Tallies put the Monk on 9%, with Labour’s Marie Sherlock behind on 7%. Ms McDonald is expected to top the poll, with tallies putting Fine Gael’s Paschal Donohoe in second position when first preferences are counted. Gary Gannon of the Social Democrats is expected to have the third highest share of first preferences. 5.05pm We have our first elected TD! Jennifer Carroll MacNeill of Fine Gael topped the poll in Dún Laoghaire with 11,685 votes - above the quota of 11,134. She first won her seat in 2020 and has served as a junior minister at the Department of Finance. 5pm Things are starting to pick up pace as another first count is in. This time it's Meath West , where Johnny Guirke of Sinn Féin has topped the poll. His 8,604 votes put him ahead of Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín in second place at 7,563. Aisling Dempsey of Fianna Fáíl, Linday Murray Nelson of Fine Gael and Noel French are all in contention for the third seat. Half the field were eliminated on the first count and their second preferences will now be distributed. They include Seamus McMenamin (Green Party), Ben Gilroy (Liberty Republic) and Sandy Gallagher (Labour). 4.50pm The first of the first counts have been declared and its in Dublin Fingal West . No one has reached the quota of 7,350, but Sinn Féin TD Louise O'Reilly is top of the poll with 6,965. Labour's Rob O'Donoghue is in second on 5,044 and Fine Gael's Grace Boland is third on 4,583. The newly-created three seat constituency has previously been part of Dublin Fingal. 4.15pm In Donegal, it appears that that Sinn Fein's Pearse Doherty will romp home, with 19,213 first votes with a quota of 12, 959. 3.55pm The country is still waiting for the first counts to come in. While we've been waiting, political editor Elaine Loughlin joined Mick Clifford on The Mick Clifford Podcast to look at the key takeaways from the first few hours of the election. Listen to the podcast in full here . 3.35pm: Some more final tallies. In Tipperary North Michael Lowry has topped the poll with an estimated 27.6% of the vote, followed in second place by Labour’s Alan Kelly. In third place is Fianna Fail’s Ryan O’Meara, who has a lead of around 2% on his party colleague Michael Smith. The complete tally for the four-seat Clare constituency has Senator Timmy Dooley of Fianna Fáil comfortably topping the poll with 18.29% of the vote. His running mate Cathal Crowe has 13.69%. Joe Cooney looks set to secure a seat for Fine Gael while Donna McGettigan of Sinn Féin is favourite to secure the fourth seat. Fine Gael’s Martin Heydon looks set to top the poll in the competitive four-seat Kildare South constituency, according to a tally of first preference votes. Kildare South candidates are effectively battling for three seats, by virtue of Ceann Comhairle Sean Ó Fearghaíl’s automatic re-election. 3.20pm As the country awaits first counts, deputy political editor Paul Hosford has this analysis: The outcome of the general election remains too close to call in what will be a tough day for the Green Party and some big names. With 80% of votes tallied, Fianna Fáil has around 20.8% of the vote, with Fine Gael on 20% and Sinn Féin on 18.2%. However, in individual constituencies, the fate of late seats will decide the final breakdown of the next Dáil. One of the stories of the day is set to be Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch in Dublin Central. There is growing belief among other parties that Mr Hutch will be elected in the constituency on the back of transfers from anti-migrant campaigner Malachy Steenson. However, the Labour Party retains hope that its candidate Marie Sherlock will benefit from the transfers of outgoing Green Party TD Neasa Hourigan to take the fourth seat alongside Sinn Féin's Mary Lou McDonald, Fine Gael's Paschal Donohoe and Social Democrat Gary Gannon. For the Greens, the mood has darkened somewhat, with one senior source saying today has been "a disaster". The party looks set to be in with a fight to keep even one seat, with Dublin Rathdown's Catherine Martin and party leader Roderic O'Gorman in Dublin West as well as Malcolm Noonan in Carlow-Kilkenny their remaining hopes. Former leader and outgoing Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan said that the "tide has gone out" on Green politics across Europe, but that he is proud of the work his party has done. "I think we'll look back and think how can we get greater public support and really do that in a humbler way, and kind of assess why we didn't do better? "But there's a pride in the process that we've done. We did a really good job in government. We set out our promises and we delivered them." 2.50pm Tánaiste and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin is set to top the poll and be elected on the first count later in Cork South Central. The final tallies have been counted there and Sinn Féin's Donnchadha Ó Laoighaire and Fianna Fáil councillor Seamus McGrath are also set to get a seat. Follow the results from the count centres in Cork here . 2.45pm An interesting update from the RDS. Film director Jim Sheridan has arrived at the count centre where he has been filming Gerry Hutch. Mr Sheridan is filming a documentary about the election featuring Mr Hutch. The filmmaker told gathered reporters that he was “totally surprised” at how well Mr Hutch has done in the election. It is expected that Mr Hutch will make an appearance at the RDS count centre in the coming hours. “I never thought he’d get in or have a chance. I don’t know if he will still, but I think he has a chance,” Mr Sheridan said. Asked what he thought Mr Hutch’s appeal was to voters in inner city Dublin, Mr Sheridan said: “I just think it’s anger at their position. Years and years of drugs and nothing happening in that community. “Like some people are trying to help, but there’s never been since Tony Gregory, a cohesive attitude towards it or a focused attitude.” Meanwhile, Social Democrats deputy leader Cian O’Callaghan said that they were “in the hunt for a number of seats in constituencies around the country”. “We’re hoping to be transfer friendly and a lot of the contests we’re in are going to be for final seats,” Mr O’Callaghan said. “We hope to get transfers from all directions.” He said that the Social Democrats will speak to all parties after the votes are counted, but that “where those discussions go remains to be seen” 2.25pm Final tallies are coming thick and fast as people await the first counts. All boxes have been tallied in Wexford and a very clear picture is emerging in the results so far. Independent Verona Murphy is topping the poll with 21% of the vote while Fianna Fail’s James Browne is on 16%. Johnny Mythen from Sinn Féin is on 14%, and Labour’s George Lawlor is at 13% in the four-seater. Fine Gael’s Cathal Byrne is on 9.5%, while Aontú's Jim Codd is at 7%. In Roscommon-Galway , Independent Ireland's Michael Fitzmaurice appears almost certain to top the poll. He's followed by Sinn Féin's Claire Kerrane Dr Martin Daly of Fianna Fáíl on 7,252. The Social Democrats are set to top the poll in Dublin Bay North based on the tally estimate of 15% of the vote for their housing spokesman Cian O’Callaghan. Sinn Féin TD Denise Mitchell is in a comfortable second place with 14%, down from her whopping 29.8% in 2020. Fianna Fáil’s Tom Brabazon is on 10% of the tally. Fine Gael’s Naoise Ó Muirí is in fourth place on 9% followed jointly by Fianna Fáil’s Deirdre Heney and Fine Gael’s Aoibhinn Tormey, both on 8%. In Laois , the likely outcome in the three-seater is Willie Aird (Fine Gael), Minister of State Seán Fleming (Fianna Fáil) and Brian Stanley (Independent). Mr Stanley has held on to his strong vote despite his departure from Sinn Féin amid controversy in October and looks set to be returned to the Dáil. 1.40pm Analysis from Tadgh McNally on some of the smaller parties: The Green Party is facing massive losses as tallies are completed up and down the country. Party leader Roderic O’Gorman looks set for the fight of his political career in Dublin West, with 97% of boxes open and the Integration Minister on just 6.5% of the vote. He is being outpolled by former People Before Profit TD Ruth Coppinger, who is taking 8.6% of the vote. Mr O’Gorman is placed fifth in a five-seater, with transfers due to play a key role in the hours to come for the Green Party leader. He admitted that his party is likely to lose three-quarters of their seats. Other Green Party members in trouble include Catherine Martin, Ossian Smyth, Marc O Cathasigh and Nessa Hourigan. Meanwhile, it’s looking much better for both the Social Democrats and Labour, with the centre-left parties strongly tipped to pick up seats across the country. One Labour strategist said they are hopeful to pick up 10 seats, up four on their current Dáil representation. However, Shane Folan looks unlikely to get over the line in Dublin Bay North, with Social Democrats' Cian O’Callaghan leading alongside Sinn Féin’s Denise Mitchell. Marie Sherlock in Dublin Central is in decent stead, coming in fifth place at present. She could be pushed forward by the elimination of the Green’s Neasa Hourigan, putting her in a battle with Gerry Hutch for the fourth seat. The Social Democrats are feeling positive about a number of races across the country, including in Limerick City where Elisa O’Donovan is in the running for the fourth seat. One party official also spoke positively about Sinead Gibney’s chances in Dublin Rathdown, which could unseat Arts Minister Catherine Martin of the Greens. In the Cork South West constituency , where tallies have been completed, Social Democrats' leader Holly Cairns has polled strongly at 20% only behind Independent Michael Collins. Our team at the Cork count centre in Nemo had this lunchtime update on the lay of the land. 1.25pm Some more final tallies, this time from Galway East. Looking nailed on for seats are Fianna Fáil's Albert Dolan on 19% and Independent Seán Canney on 18.4%. Neither looks set to be elected on the first count, with a quota of around 10,400 votes required. The battle for the two remaining seats in the constituency is difficult to call. Sinn Féin's Louis O’Hara is on 13.7% but may struggle for transfers down the line. Anne Rabbitte (Fianna Fáil) has not polled as well as expected at 7.5% but could recover through transfers after her fellow party member’s impressive, poll-topping performance. The final tallies are also in for the new three-seat constituency of Wicklow-Wexford, and the three main parties seem set to take a spot each. South Wicklow looks to have lost out, as the frontrunners are all based in Gorey, Co Wexford. Fine Gael’s Brian Brennan, a hotelier, appears to have edged ahead to take 23% of first preference tallies. Fianna Fáil senator Malcolm Byrne is not far behind, with 22% of first preferences, while Sinn Féin councillor Fionntán Ó Síulleabháin has tallied at about 20%. 1.20pm In Wicklow — where Health Minister Stephen Donnelly is in trouble — Taoiseach Simon Harris is on course to top the poll. With two-thirds of boxes tallied, Mr Harris is in first place (31%), followed by Sinn Féin’s John Brady (15%) and Social Democrats’ Jennifer Whitmore (14%). There is a tight race for the final seat in what is now a four-seater constituency between Fianna Fáil's Mr Donnelly (6.4%) and Fine Gael’s Edward Timmins (5.7%). Mr Harris’s transfers, and others, look set to be key in deciding where the final seat goes. 12.50pm Tallies have been completed in Limerick County with Fine Gael's Richard O'Donovan, Independent Ireland's Richard O'Donoghue and Fianna Fáil's Niall Collins leading the way. The surprise performer in the three-seat constituency has been Sinn Féin's first-time candidiate Joanne Collins who is the best of the remaining 11 candidates on 12%. 12.35pm A third of the way through the tallies in Kerry, Michael Healy-Rae is the clear leader. He has over 23% of first-preference votes so far. After that, the candidates are bunched. Sinn Féin's Pa Daly is at 14%; Education Minister Norma Foley at just under 13% and Danny Healy-Rae is at 12.2%. The real interest is an emerging battle between Fine Gael candidate and former footballer Billy O’Shea and Fianna Fáil councillor Michael Cahill — they are on par at 10.8% and 10.2% respectively. In Dublin North West, all boxes have been tallied and Sinn Féin’s Dessie Ellis looks certain to again top the poll. Unlike last time out he is potentially on track to bring in a running mate with former Dublin city councillor Cathleen Carney Boud on 14%. If two seats go to Sinn Féin in this three-seater, that seems to leave the scrap for the last seat between Fianna Fáil’s sitting TD Paul McAuliffe and newcomer Social Democrats Rory Hearn — both are on 14%. Former Fine Gael TD Noel Rock, who lost his seat here in 2020 is on 12%. 12.10pm Fianna Fáil is on track to lose some big names, writes political reporter Tadgh McNally. Health Minister Stephen Donnelly is in trouble in Wicklow, with the outgoing TD facing a battle to retain his seat. With 41% of boxes open, Mr Donnelly has secured just 6.4% of the vote and is trailing Taoiseach Simon Harris, Sinn Féin's John Brady and Social Democrats candidate Jennifer Whitmore. Early indications are showing that Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue could be in danger in Donegal. In Galway East, junior minister Anne Rabbitte is in trouble. She took just 7% of the vote, with two-thirds of boxes open. However, the party won't lose out on a seat here as her running mate, Albert Dolan, has taken 15% of first preferences. In Cavan-Monaghan, longstanding TD Brendan Smith is facing difficulties retaining his seat. He is currently being outpolled by both of his running mates, Niamh Smyth and Robbie Gallagher. However, the party is in line to pick up seats in Dublin, with Fianna Fáil's Shane Moynihan a possible pickup in Dublin Mid West. It is neck and neck in Dublin Fingal West, where Lorraine Clifford Lee could beat Fine Gael's Grace Boland to a seat. 12pm With all boxes opened in Meath West, the final tally shows Sinn Féin TD Johnny Guirke and Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín are set to retain their seats. Fianna Fáil councillor Aisling Dempsey, daughter of former minister Noel Dempsey, and Fine Gael councillor Linda Nelson Murray will likely battle it out for the final seat in the three-seater constituency. Outgoing Justice Minister Helen McEntee is topping the polls in the Meath East constituency, according to early tallies. 11.45am Minister of State Ossian Smyth is facing a battle to retain his seat in Dun Laoghaire with the Green Party candidate on just over 7.5%. In Waterford, more than a third of the boxes are open and it is clear that five candidates are in a battle for four seats. Sinn Féin's David Cullinane is topping the poll with Green Party TD Marc O Cathasigh unlikely to retain his seat. It's more bad news for the Green Party in Fingal West where the tally is complete. Minister of State Joe O’Brien will struggle to retain his seat. Louise O’Reilly of Sinn Féin seems set to top the poll in the new three-seat constituency. 11.35am Tánaiste and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin looks set to retain his seat in Cork South Central. Follow the results from the count centres in Cork here . 11.20am In the hotly contested Dublin Central constituency, all of the boxes are now open. Tally figures have Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald at 20%, Fine Gael’s Paschal Donohoe at 17%, Gary Gannon of the Social Democrats at 13%, Independent Gerard Hutch at 9%, Labour’s Marie Sherlock at 7%, Fianna Fail’s Mary Fitzpatrick at 7%, Green Party’s Neasa Hourigan at 6% and Independent Malachy Steenson at 5%. Janice Boylan (Sinn Féín) and Clare Daly (Independent) and Eoghan O Ceannabhain (People Before Profit) are all at 4%. 11.10am In Tipperary South, Mattie McGrath is topping the poll with 26.4% of the votes tallied so far. He is followed Fine Gael’s Michael Murphy and Independent Seamus Healy. Meanwhile, in Clare, early tallies show Fianna Fáil senator Timmy Dooley is set to top the poll, which would see him return to the Dáil after losing his seat in 2020. At the other end of the scale, Independent and former Sinn Féin TD Violet Anne Wynne is set to lose her seat with tallies showing she has less than 1% of the vote. In the capital, Fianna Fáil’s Jack Chambers and Sinn Féin’s Paul Donnelly were leading the charge in Dublin West with 58% of boxes open. 11am Speaking about the error on the Limerick City ballot, where the names of candidates were not listed in alphabetical order, incoming EU commissioner for democracy and justice Michael McGrath said Ireland has enough checks and balances to deal with the controversy. “I was very surprised at the reports,” he said. “I think it is a matter now for the returning officer to complete the work at the count centre there and then of course the candidates have certain rights as well.” He stated: “We have the institutional arrangements in place with independent oversight and let’s allow that now to take its course.” 10.40am With three quarters of the boxes open in Dublin Central, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald leads the pack at 21%, followed by Fine Gael’s Paschal Donohoe at 13%, Independent Gerard Hutch and Social Democrats Gary Gannon, follow behind, both at 12%. 10.35am 25% of ballot boxes have been opened in Limerick County, with the race closely resembling 2020's election race, as the three outgoing TDs run well ahead of the rest. Independent Ireland's Richard O'Donoghue is the front runner on 26% of the vote, followed by Fianna Fáil's Niall Collins at 24% and Fine Gael's Patrick O'Donovan at 21%. Many are surprised by first time candidate for Sinn Féin, Joanne Collins who is in fourth place in this three seater on 12%. 10.30am Former co-leader of the Social Democrats Catherine Murphy is confident of her party making gains in this general election, she said. 25% of ballot boxes have been opened in Limerick County, with the race closely resembling 2020's election race, as the three outgoing TDs run well ahead of the rest. Independent Ireland's Richard O'Donoghue is the front runner on 26% of the vote, followed by Fianna Fáil's Niall Collins at 24% and Fine Gael's Patrick O'Donovan at 21%. Many are surprised by first time candidate for Sinn Féin, Joanne Collins who is in fourth place in this three seater on 12%. The retiring Kildare North TD noted that the RTÉ/Irish Times/TG4/TCD exit poll showed support for the Social Democrats was almost double that of its support for the 2020 general election. “We’re contesting 25 of the 43 constituencies, so the very fact that we’re not contesting all of them shows that the vote is more concentrated, and a more concentrated vote is more likely to give you seats,” she said. “I’m very happy with what I’m hearing, but it’s very early days.” Holly Cairns, leader of the Social Democrats, is doing “great” after giving birth to a baby girl on election day, Ms Murphy added. 10.20am As predicted, Michael Lowry is topping the poll in Tipperary North, according to early tallies based on around 1% of the votes counted so far. Fianna Fail’s Ryan O' Meara is also polling well in Nenagh, while his party colleague Michael Smith is doing well in Roscrea Templemore, where he is well ahead of his nearest rival, Deputy Lowry. Labour’s Alan Kelly is neck and neck with Fine Gael’s Phyll Bulger. 10.15am With 10% of votes tallied in Kerry, brothers Michael and Danny Healy Rae have netted 40% of the first preference votes. Sinn Fein's Pa Daly bags 13.6% of first preference votes, followed by Minister Norma Foley with 12%. 10.05am In Dun Laoghaoire, the electorate is thought to have dropped by about 4,000 since 2020, but the quota projection is also down by more than 2,000 to 10,369 based on the projected 54.31% turnout. 9.55am In Fingal East, informed sources are saying Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Labour are happy with what they are seeing in early tallies. Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien of Fianna Fáil, Alan Farrell of Fine Gael and Duncan Smith of Labour are incumbents. There are three seats in the new constituency. 9.45am A health warning that it is very early days, but with 12% of boxes open at Dublin West, Fianna Fáil's Jack Chambers and Sinn Féin's Paul Donnelly are steaming ahead. Chambers is at 22% and Donnelly at 21%, while Fine Gael Senator Emer Currie stands at 12%. Meanwhile, People before Profit- Solidarty's Ruth Coppinger is at 9% and Independent candidate Tania Doyle is coming in fifth position at 7%. Leader of the Green Party Roderic O'Gorman is tailing in eighth position with 4%. 9.40am Tallies in Dublin Bay South are predicting that Fine Gael's James Geoghegan will top the poll, with Labour's Ivana Bacik in second. Jim O'Callaghan of Fianna Fáil is on track for third with transfers of Social Democrats Councillor Eoin Hayes determining the fourth seat. He is transferring to Ms Bacik and the Green's Councillor Hazel Chu. Labour tallyman Kevin Humphreys predicts a tight contest between Sinn Féin's Chris Andrews and Ms Chu but that Sinn Féin should hold on. In Meath East, the first miraculous medal of the day has been recovered in a ballot box hailing from Ashbourne. 9.35am Ballot boxes have been opened since 9.30am in Killarney count centre. The combined tallies from Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil show a huge sweep for Independent candidate Michael Healy-Rae and a strong showing for Michael Cahill, while supports for Danny Healy-Rae is weaker than expected so far. Tallies show Fianna Fáil's Michael Cahill at 13%, Sinn Féin's Pa Daly at 12.7%, Norma Foley at 11.5%, Gordon Kelleher at 3.9% Danny Healy Rae at 9.5% and Michael Healy-Rae at 29%. Additionally, Fine Gael’s Billy O’Shea is at 9.6% so far. 9.25am Counting got underway here in Roscommon Galway at just after 9am this morning at the Dr Hyde Count Centre. Initially tallies are starting to come in. There are three seats up for grabs in the massive predominately rural constituency, with two seating TDs, Independent Ireland's Michael Fitzmaurice and Sinn Féin's Claire Kerrane, looking to retain their seats. There are 11 candidates in total, including high profile Fianna Fáil candidate Dr Martin Daly. A former president of the Irish Medical Organisation and first time general election candidate, Dr Daly is widely tipped to be in the running for a seat. However, his former party colleague and now independent candidate, Senator Eugene Murphy may also be in the mix. After Fianna Fáil declined to add him to the ticket, Senator Murphy, who won a seat for the party in 2020, decided to break his lifelong association with the party. 9.20am Vote counting in the Limerick constituency has started as normal this morning, despite controversy over an error on the ballot paper on Friday. Members of the public casting their votes in the four-seat constituency have been given a ballot paper, which does not feature all candidates in alphabetical order. Electoral law dictates that candidates must be listed in alphabetical order based on surnames. However, speaking at the Limerick Count Centre, Limerick City, Deputy Returning Officer Vincent Murray says the counting of votes is going ahead and has already began this morning. 9.15am Michael Lowry is expected to be among the first TDs elected to one of Tipperary’s two new constituencies. The predicted Tipperary North poll topper, whose Dail career started in 1987, is one of the longest-serving candidates in the race among the 26 candidates for one of the six seats up for grabs. Labour’s Alan Kelly is also expected to be elected to the constituency, with the help of Mr Lowry’s surpluses. Fianna Fáil's Michael Smith is expected to take the third seat, although his chances might be affected by his party fielding two candidates across both constituencies. In Tipperary South, both Independent TD Mattie McGrath and Fine Gael’s Michael Murphy are expected to win seats, with the latter hoping to become the county's first FG TD in a while in what was once a stronghold for the party. The battle for the third seat is expected to be between Independent John O'Heney and Fianna Fail’s Imelda Goldsboro. While early tallies are expected around 11am, the first election result is expected around 2pm. 9am It will be a while yet before we see TDs elected today, but there will be strong indications of where things are going through a system of tallies, operated by tallymen and tallywomen in counts across the country. These tallypeople are election observers from political parties, watching as boxes filled with votes are opened and distributed and looking at where the first preference votes are going. Depending where in the country you are, these observers could be working by party or in a larger co-operative tally with all other parties. In Dublin, for example, a major cross party tally operation has been ongoing for elections over the last decade, giving precise results on where the votes are going.MUMBAI: A towering cinema with a roofline like an ocean liner stands out in India’s financial capital Mumbai, part of a remarkable Art Deco architectural heritage that campaigners say needs protection. A short walk away is a state-run insurance office with giant Egyptian-style carvings, and a palm-lined seafront promenade with pastel-coloured apartments with porthole windows, curved balconies and exotic motifs. Get exclusive content with Gulf News WhatsApp channel Architecture aficionados may go crazy over Miami’s South Beach, but the coastal Indian megacity is home to what experts believe is one of the world’s largest collections of Art Deco buildings. Decades of neglect, however, have led to buildings being demolished or compromised through slapdash modern renovation. Lovers of the dramatic architecture fear that will only increase as Mumbai undergoes a rapid $30 billion infrastructure makeover including major road, rail and bridge projects. A sweep of some Art Deco buildings - including offices, colleges and residential complexes - was listed on Unesco’s World Heritage list in 2018, alongside the city’s Victorian Gothic architecture for its “unique style” described as “Indo-Deco”. Today, the city’s breakneck pace of development has left a small but dedicated group of building owners, architects and heritage lovers trying to conserve the city’s Art Deco character. The job requires “constant vigilance”, said Nayana Kathpalia, who lives in an Art Deco building that was recently restored - but crucially in a manner that maintained its original character. Many apartment building owners are eager to cash in and redevelop their old dwellings, making them part of a cookie-cutter modern skyline. “If too many buildings get done in a totally different style, the World Heritage Site committee will say ‘what the hell is happening?’,” Kathpalia said. “We are very, very clear that we have to protect that.” Losing it could strip the city of its history and character, campaigners say. Art Deco took the West by storm after emerging as a new wave of design in France before the First World War. Architects used geometric patterns and streamlined structures to evoke the popular technologies of the time, including airplanes and ocean liners. As a style, Art Deco can appear as an odd hodgepodge, borrowing everything from ancient Mayan to Japanese culture. But the first generation of homegrown Indian architects who visited Europe in the 1920s and 1930s were inspired. After returning home, they started designing Art Deco style buildings for rich Indian business families that had profited off the economic boom in the port city, said Atul Kumar, founder of a non-profit that seeks to conserve the heritage. Art Deco “enabled a certain cosmopolitanism” and contributed to making Mumbai a “modern, open, friendly” city, Kumar added. While Kumar’s Art Deco Mumbai organisation has spent years painstakingly documenting buildings, it has also more recently started offering “repair and restoration” help. “We go out, pro bono, and reach out to people,” he said, having supported the sensitive restoration of around nine buildings, including a couple in the core World Heritage area. However, there are challenges, including stringent rent control laws which impose financial constraints on landlords. Kumar also admits that residents in newer and northern parts of the city have less of a “desire” to conserve their buildings in their original Art Deco style. A large part of this is due to a lack of awareness. Many of the city’s inhabitants walk past the vivid tropical imagery, elongated turrets and jazzy typography without giving them a second glance. Pranati Mehta, a 46-year-old school teacher, says most Indians only look at “temples as architecture”, as they “feel that is special”. Some Mumbai residents don’t realise they “live amongst art”, she said. But Mehta, who was on a weekend walking tour to learn more about the architectural style, quickly adds that Art Deco isn’t foreign to Indian sensibilities. “We recognise it as a Bombay style,” she said. “We think Art Deco is also an Indian brand”.

This release was published on openPR.AP Trending SummaryBrief at 3:36 p.m. ESTHENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Aidan O'Connell might not be Mr. Right for the Raiders, but he is Mr. Right Now. He did enough in Friday's 19-17 loss at Kansas City to show that Las Vegas' quarterback job will be his for the rest of the season — barring, that is, another injury. O'Connell didn't look like a quarterback who hadn't played in nearly six weeks because of a broken thumb . Plus, the Raiders had a short week to prepare for the Chiefs, meaning O'Connell only went through a series of walk-through practices. Even so, he completed 23 of 35 passes for 340 yards, including touchdown passes of 33 yards to tight end Brock Bowers and 58 yards to wide receiver Tre Tucker. He didn't throw any interceptions. “Thought he competed,” coach Antonio Pierce said Saturday morning. “I thought for what we knew we were getting with Spags (Kansas City defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo) and that defense, that he stood in the pocket, made some tough throws, took some hits, took the shots down the field like we wanted. We had some opportunities to take shots down the field, he threw them. And I thought our skill guys did a hell of a job competing and making some really good plays for us.” O'Connell's performance would've shined even more if not for the Raiders' final offensive play. He led the Raiders from their 8-yard line to the Chiefs 32 with 15 seconds left. The plan was for O'Connell to take the snap and throw the ball away to run off a few more seconds, then send Daniel Carlson out for the potential winning field goal without giving Patrick Mahomes enough time to mount one of his signature comebacks. But rookie center Jackson Powers-Johnson snapped the ball before O'Connell was expecting it, and the Chiefs recovered to secure another close, last-minute victory. The Raiders were called for illegal shift, which Kansas City declined. But there was some question about whether officials intended to call a false start instead. Though that infraction would have cost Las Vegas 5 yards, the pre-snap penalty still would've given Carlson a shot at the field goal. Pierce said his team heard an official's whistle before the snap, and that will be included in the Raiders' report to the NFL. “We do that every game,” Pierce said. “Typically, anywhere from three to five questions, and then we’ll get a letter within 24 to 36 hours, and we’ll read it and learn from it.” What’s working Bowers had another sensational game. He was targeted 14 times, catching 10 passes for 140 yards. For the season, he has 84 receptions for 884 yards and four TDs, making him a strong contender for Offensive Rookie of the Year. “We’re seeing double-teams and them really shifting their zone to him, and I don’t really think it matters,” Pierce said. “I think we've got a really special player on our hand.” What needs help The Raiders need to do better on first and second downs to set up more favorable third-down conversions. They have faced 47 third downs from 7 to 10 yards, tied with the Dallas Cowboys for fifth most. Las Vegas' conversion rate on those plays is 36.2%, which actually is favorable compared to the rest of the league, but the Raiders are still creating too many of those situations. Stock up Las Vegas made life difficult for Mahomes, sacking him five times. And it wasn't just Maxx Crosby bringing the heat. Four players had at least one-half sack, including K’Lavon Chaisson, who had 1 1/2. It was a season-high total for the Raiders, and they have taken down the opposing quarterback in 30 consecutive games, the third-longest active streak. Stock down Carlson is usually money, but he missed field goals from 56, 55 and 58 yards. Hardly chip shots, but he is capable of converting from those distances. He had made 30 of 38 field goals from 50-plus yards entering the game, with a career long of 57 yards. Injuries WR DJ Turner injured his knee in the second half. Key number 12 — The Raiders are one of three teams to fall behind double digits in each of their first 12 games of a season. The others were the 1986 Indianapolis Colts and 1972 New England Patriots. Next steps The Raiders visit Tampa Bay on Dec. 8. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Mark Anderson, The Associated Press
Mary Trump Slams Uncle Over Alleged Incident Involving Black Girl's Hair: 'He Is A Racist After All'WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden kicked off his final holiday season at the White House on Monday by issuing the traditional reprieve to two turkeys who will bypass the Thanksgiving table to live out their days in southern Minnesota. Biden welcomed 2,500 guests to the South Lawn under sunny skies as he cracked jokes about the fates of “Peach” and “Blossom” and sounded wistful tones about the last weeks of his presidency after a half-century in Washington power circles. “It’s been the honor of my life. I’m forever grateful,” Biden said, taking note of his impending departure on Jan. 20, 2025. That's when power will transfer to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, the man Biden defeated four years ago and was battling again until he was pressured to bow out of the race amid concerns about his age and viability. Biden is 82. Until Inauguration Day, the president and first lady Jill Biden will continue a busy run of festivities that will double as their long goodbye. The White House schedule in December is replete with holiday parties for various constituencies, from West Wing staff to members of Congress and the White House press corps. Biden relished the brief ceremony with the pardoned turkeys, named for the official flower of the president's home state of Delaware. “The peach pie in my state is one of my favorites,” he said during remarks that were occasionally interrupted by Peach gobbling atop the table to Biden's right. “Peach is making a last-minute plea,” Biden said at one point, drawing laughter from an overflow crowd that included Cabinet members, White House staff and their families, and students from 4H programs and Future Farmers of America chapters. Biden introduced Peach as a bird who “lives by the motto, ‘Keep calm and gobble on.’” Blossom, the president said, has a different motto: “No fowl play. Just Minnesota nice.” Peach and Blossom came from the farm of John Zimmerman, near the southern Minnesota city of Northfield. Zimmerman, who has raised about 4 million turkeys, is president of the National Turkey Federation, the group that has gifted U.S. presidents Thanksgiving turkeys since the Truman administration after World War II. President Harry Truman, however, preferred to eat the birds. Official pardon ceremonies did not become an annual White House tradition until the administration of President George H.W. Bush in 1989. With their presidential reprieve, Peach and Blossom will live out their days at Farmamerica, an agriculture interpretative center near Waseca in southern Minnesota. The center's aim is to promote agriculture and educate future farmers and others about agriculture in America. Separately Monday, first lady Jill Biden received the official White House Christmas tree that will be decorated and put on display in the Blue Room. The 18.5 foot (5.64 meters) Fraser fir came from a farm in an area of western North Carolina that recently was devastated by Hurricane Helene . Cartner’s Christmas Tree Farm lost thousands of trees in the storm “but this one remained standing and they named it ‘Tremendous’ for the extraordinary hope that it represents,” Jill Biden said at the event. The Bidens were also traveling to New York City on Monday for an evening “Friendsgiving” event at a Coast Guard station on Staten Island. Biden began his valedictory calendar Friday night with a gala for hundreds of his friends, supporters and staff members who gathered in a pavilion erected on the South Lawn, with a view out to the Lincoln Memorial. Cabinet secretaries, Democratic donors and his longest-serving staff members came together to hear from the president and pay tribute, with no evidence that Biden was effectively forced from the Democratic ticket this summer and watched Vice President Kamala Harris suffer defeat on Nov. 5. “I’m so proud that we’ve done all of this with a deep belief in the core values of America,” said Biden, sporting a tuxedo for the black-tie event. Setting aside his criticisms of Trump as a fundamental threat to democracy, Biden added his characteristic national cheerleading: “I fully believe that America is better positioned to lead the world today than at any point in my 50 years of public service.” The first lady toasted her husband with a nod to his 2020 campaign promise to “restore the soul of the nation,” in Trump’s aftermath. With the results on Election Day, however, Biden’s four years now become sandwiched in the middle of an era dominated by Trump's presence on the national stage and in the White House. Even as the first couple avoided the context surrounding the president's coming exit, those political realities were nonetheless apparent, as younger Democrats like Maryland Gov. Wes Moore , Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Biden's Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg not only raised their glasses to the president but held forth with many attendees who could remain in the party's power circles in the 2028 election cycle and beyond. ___ Associated Press writer Steve Karnowski in Minneapolis contributed to this report.Conor McGregor must pay $250K to woman who says he raped her, civil jury rules

LAS VEGAS — Concerning as it was for the Denver defense to play without standout lineman Zach Allen, it could have been worse. Broncos' safety Brandon Jones fell ill Saturday and was downgraded to "questionable" for the game here Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Jones not only played, his interception off a Gardner Minshew II pass that sailed an open receiver, and 37-yard return, set up the Broncos' offense on the Raiders' 18 yard line. The pick was a game changer. Two plays later, Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw a 50-50 ball to the deep right corner of the end zone. When receiver Courtland Sutton is on the other end of such a pass, the odds are far better than 50-50. Sutton reached up to snag the ball with his two strong hands for the touchdown. Along with four Wil Lutz field goals -- from 38, 53, 54 and 45 yards out -- the Broncos led the determined Raiders, 19-13 early in the fourth quarter in this AFC West rivalry game. A strong Bronco fan presence at roof-covered, grass-grounded Allegiant Stadium roared its approval. Special teams are largely ignored unless something big happens good or bad, one way or the other. The first-half spotlight shined a harsh light on Broncos’ special teams here Sunday at Allegiant Stadium as the home-team Las Vegas Raiders used a 59-yard kickoff return to set up a touchdown and a 34-yard faked punt pass completion to set up a field goal. The Raiders held a surprising, but explainable, 13-9 lead on the Broncos at halftime. Just past one minute into the second quarter, the Raiders went up 7-3. The Broncos scored late in the first quarter on a Wil Lutz 38-yard field goal, but the Raiders answered with a 59-yard kickoff return by Dylan Luebe, giving Las Vegas quarterback Gardner Minshew II starting field position at the Denver 40. Eventually Minshew caught Broncos outside linebacker Jonah Elliss dropping back into coverage on two plays in the red zone. Minshew hit Michael Mayer for 9 yards on one play and Ameer Abdullah for a 6-yard touchdown on the other. Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix answered nicely with a couple completions to fellow rookie Devaughn Vele but the drive stalled with a sack and Lutz came through with a 53-yard field goal, narrowing the score to 7-6. The Denver defense seemed to answer with a three-and-out, but the rules give a team four downs to move the chains. The Raiders used it by having punter AJ Cole shotput a pass to Divine Deablo, who rumbled 34 yards for a first down at the Broncos’ 30. Colorado Springs-raised Daniel Carlson nailed a 34-yard field goal with 3:48 remaining in the first half to give the Raiders a 10-6 lead. Broncos’ special teams did come through with their field goal unit as Lutz connected from 54 yards with 53 seconds left in the half. Lutz is 11 of 11 on kicks since the dreaded block in Kansas City – 5 of 5 in field goals; 6 of 6 in extra points. Nix was 21 of 33 for 218 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter while Minshew was 18 of 30 for 151 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Las Vegas entered play Sunday with a six-game losing streak and 2-8 record. The Broncos were 6-5 and in prime position to secure the No. 7 AFC playoff seed. With the Indianapolis Colts dropping to 5-7 after losing Sunday to Detroit, the Broncos top competitor for the No. 7 playoff seed is now the Miami Dolphins, who won their third in a row to move to 5-6.

Zach Allen inactive There are injuries and there are late-in-the-week injuries. Denver defensive end Zach Allen, arguably the most impactful player this season on the league’s No. 3-ranked unit, suffered a heel injury Friday, presumably in practice. Allen was held out of the game Sunday against the Raiders. Malcolm Roach, who is normally a backup nose tackle, started in Allen’s place at defensive end while another defensive end, Eyioma Uwazurike, was active for just his third game this season. It could have been worse for the Broncos. Starting safety Brandon Jones fell ill Saturday and his game status was downgraded to questionable, but he was able to play.. Bronco Bits The Broncos had two players – running back Jaleel McLaughlin, who had two carries for 29 yards -- and cornerback Riley Moss -- go down for extended periods because of injury. Both walked off the field under their own power. McLaughlin returned in the second half while veteran Levi Wallace filled in for Moss at left cornerback. ... Broncos’ seventh-round rookie guard-center Nick Gargiulo was elevated from the practice squad Saturday, but then was among the inactives for the game.
