Elections bring many things, not least a string of amusing tweets.
Here are some of the best.

First media call of today, from UK asking me to comment on "final results" of yesterday's voting in Ireland, they really don't get us. Suggested she ring me back around Wednesday! #LE19 #EP2019

Something lovingly simple about voting in Ireland ... the peann luaidhe on a piece of string, the plastic partitions, surrounded by kids' school books and tiny chairs. Democracy in action. Should be treasured #LE2019 #LE19

I am a terrified & irregular gambler but overcame those fears a few weeks ago when I bet on @saoirse_mchugh winning a seat in #EP2019 at odds of 50-1. I hear those odds are now falling fast & think she has a real chance of winning a seat on Friday. #wantgreenvotegreen #greenwave pic.twitter.com/rt2tHHPvkv
