          Notes
          1.^ Barton, who was also MP for West Wicklow, was imprisoned in Portland Prison at the time of the election.
          2.^ Dulcibella Barton withdrew from the election, although she withdrew too late for her name to be removed from voting papers.
          3.^ Byrne was at the time on the run.
          gollark: GTech™ actually uses stochastic string concatenation, where we randomly take characters from the second string and append them if they are determined to be the right one.
          gollark: Stochastically O(who knows) access.
          gollark: Arbitrarily linked lists: each node stores a fixed-size list of pointers to other random nodes (as well as the index, of course).
          gollark: No, I think things can have multiple parents in it.
          gollark: And I'm not sure what it would only be better than.
