Westmeath, and not even for a 111 acre estate?

That's just one (although that map only shows 50 of the 190 for some reason): www.daft.ie/for-sale/hou...

So I did likewise and looked at all properties in Ireland with a valuation of 2.2 million euro or over currently for sale. Overall, this is 190 properties - they are unsurprisingly heavily concentrated in the Greater Dublin Area. Overall, there are total 14,290 properties for sale across the country

The top seven best attended association football leagues are those of the seven non-Uruguay countries which have won the (Men's) world cup, but after that it gets less European and more population-y and where there is money too, so unsurprisingly the next country on the list is the USA and the MLS.

As an aside, this (albeit slightly out of date in places) top 10 of best attended international sports league is a fascinating list, although notably dominated by very wealthy countries.

Anyway, the spoiled votes distribution is... odd. It bares no real correlation to Casey's 2018 vote which was more rural. It absolutely has no relation to any historical FF voting pattern. What's notable is geography, the top 13 are all in Leinster, especially in areas with big population growth.

I made no prediction of the geography of the Gavin vote but for completenes below, did best in Dublin and Clare (where his family is from). Did worst around the border region and other candidates home bases but mostly uniform. Unsure how to explain Dublin Fingal East, some connection to the Dubs??

Unsurprisingly, the Connolly vote is mostly a mirror image of the Humphreys vote. I will note here her strength in Donegal and Louth - these are some of the best areas for Sinn Fein and something I had clearly underestimated; also generally weak areas for FG. Generally, looking at the results...

Now the harder bit - Constituencies: Here are Humphries Best Constituencies (taken from the twitter of @irelandvotes.bsky.social) - her five best constituencies were Cavan-Monaghan, Dublin Rathdown, Dun Laoghaire, Dublin Bay South and Limerick County (3 out of 5 from my prediction).

This chart is deeply fascinating to me although I don't know to what extent it represents the demographics of Spotify in each country or something more fundamental.

And under 40% in 2011... lots of similarities although a bit difference is McGuinness doing a lot better than Ni Riada

Where Higgins less than 50% last time - some good places there for SF (and some not so much).

I guess we are forced for discourse purposes to resort to crosstabs but the even-ness of the geographic split there is interesting to me, and probably isn't purely a polling artefact.
