FIANNA FÁIL’S JOHN MOLONEY has been eliminated in the 11th count in Laois-Offaly, where just one of five seats has been filled (by FG’s Charlie Flanagan). Meanwhile, two revised counts in Galway West have made only the slightest changes to the first count results, but have not seen anyone else elected. The returning officer for Galway West said earlier she could not give a timeline for the results, although results for both Wicklow and Laois-Offaly are expected later tonight.

THERE WILL BE no further results announced tonight in the General Election 2011 count.
The Laois-Offaly count will recommence at 10am today. There will be no announcements from the Galway West count either overnight. The Wicklow recount granted to Fianna Fail’s Dick Roche will not begin until 9am.
A total of 12 seats are yet to be decided in these constituencies. So far, Fine Gael are on 70 seats, Labour on 36, Fianna Fail on 18, Sinn Fein on 13 and others (including independents) on 17 seats.

Poll: Are you satisfied with your quality of life?
A NEW REPORT from the OECD has suggested people living in Ireland have some of the best lives in the world, with Ireland among the top countries in its Better Life Index.
The index finds that life expectancy, low pollution, positive experiences and a healthy work-life balance are among the factors that contribute to happy lives in Ireland.
It did note, however, that the gap between the rich and poor is wider in Ireland than elsewhere, while the gender gap in educational performance is also larger than average.
Today we’re simply wondering whether (assuming you live in Ireland) you’re satisfied with your quality of life.
