Peter Farrell @peterfarr.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Finished up my almost 12-year stint with RTÉ News earlier this month. To mark the occasion I managed to get exactly one (very cliché) photo where my eyes are slightly open. 030

Peter Farrell @peterfarr.bsky.social · 01/12/2024It remains all systems go on Day Two of the #GE24 count. With you through the night on the @news.rte.ie website and app 010
Peter Farrell @peterfarr.bsky.social · 01/12/2024There's at least a first count results now in from all 43 constituencies so we know the final breakdown of first preference votes in #GE24: Fianna Fáil - 21.9% Fine Gael - 20.8% Sinn Féin - 19% Independents - 13.2% SocDems - 4.8% Labour - 4.7% Aontú - 3.9% Independent Ireland - 3.6% Greens - 3% 371
Peter Farrell @peterfarr.bsky.social · 30/11/2024At the helm of the @news.rte.ie #GE24 operation into the wee small hours. Plenty of sugar on hand to keep us going through the night at least 081
Peter Farrell @peterfarr.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Housing, unsurprisingly, is the biggest issue across all age groups, and largest of all with 25-34 year olds where 42% said it was their biggest concern. Immigration wasn't in the top three issues for any age category. Loads more from @ocionnaith.bsky.social here: www.rte.ie/news/electio... #GE24 253
Peter Farrell @peterfarr.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Some very interesting data from the latest batch of Exit Poll numbers. Sinn Féin the biggest party by far with those aged 25-34 (36%), with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil on 11% each. That flips entirely for over 65s, with FG on 28%, FF on 27% and SF on 13%. 2136
