Twitter reacts to David Cullinane's landslide Waterford vote

With a first count expected mid-afternoon, Twitter has reacted to Waterford Sinn Féin candidate David Cullinane's voting surge this Sunday. 

Everyone expected a strong performance from David Cullinane in #Waterford but I’m not sure many would have expected him to get 38% of the first preference votes and what could be almost double the likely quota #GE2020 pic.twitter.com/9vx3MND94G

SF David Cullinane saying on RTE that SF want to go into government, and leaving FF & FG directors argue why they won't go in with SF. A very clever play by Cullinane, as I suggest SF would love a second, immediate election. Letting FF & FG slug it out is wise #GE2020

@davidcullinane Excellent speaker. To say his mandate is populist is outrageous. To say this is a protest vote is also a joke. People voted for a more just society. People voted for strong candidates who can and will deliver. Congrats David on your achievement and the party too

David Cullinane on RTÉ reading FF and FG the riot act about having to become a coalition in this new political landscape. #GE2020

Great input from @davidcullinane on @rte just now. Both FF and FG saying they still won't do business with SF. Presume this will change over the coming days #GE2020 #playinghardtoget
