| Analysing voter trends should not be limited to a high priesthood of tallymen. |
| Early on Saturday tallymen could be seen rushing between booths leaning over the makeshift partitions as ballot papers were unfolded and laid out in bundles. |
| I believe more consultation should be done before electronic counting mechanisms eliminate the transparency needed by tallymen in Irish elections. |
| In the meantime, tallymen and women who thought they had become extinct, should start sharpening their pencils for next month's outing. |
| Even during the count, the students were as realistic as possible, tallymen were selected and correctly assessed that SF would come out on top. |
| The tallymen fascinated me with their eagle eyes and counting system and the siege mentality that prevailed was totally captivating. |
