Revealing the current top 10  New7Wonders spokesman Eamonn Fitzgerald stated, : "In our first campaign for the man-made wonders of the world, many changes took place in the final week and days so the top 10 we have announced today will certainly change. With millions of votes still set to come in, Finalists who are not in today's top 10 could yet make it into the chosen 7."

Clare County Council Director of Services Mr Ger Dollard told the Clare Herald : "We still see it as all to play for in the final few days. As with all vote-based competitions activity in the final few days will determine final outcomes. We appeal to everybody to do whatever they can to generate votes for the Cliffs of Moher in the final few days. Success in the competition will be a major boost for Ireland and Irish tourism."

"The campaign for the Cliffs has gathered significant momentum in recent weeks with the support of many high profile figures including Giovanni Trapattoni, Michael Flatley, President-elect Michael D Higgins, An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny and Minister for Tourism, Leo Varadkar. The benefits for Ireland of making the final 7 are enormous and will deliver a major increase in international visitors to Ireland as well as increasing the country's profile in global tourism marketing and promotion," Mr Dollard added.

The first count  will be announced at 7:07pm on Friday, 11 November 2011.
