STORYLINE:
Reputed Irish organized crime boss Gerry “the Monk” Hutch came close to winning a seat in Dublin Sunday, losing to the Labour Party’s Marie Sherlock in the country’s national election.
Hutch, who saw a groundswell of support after he was bailed on money-laundering charges in Spain in November in order to run for election, was one of the more unorthodox independents in this year’s election.
Hutch, who last year was acquitted of killing a gangland rival, went to the Dublin City Count Centre to see the results, but left just before the announcement.
Ireland’s two long-dominant center-right parties looked likely to form a new government as results came in Sunday from a fractured national election, though with a reduced vote share and complex coalition negotiations ahead.
The results of Friday’s election mean Ireland has partly bucked the global trend of incumbents being rejected by disgruntled voters after years of pandemic, international instability and cost-of-living pressures.
