Galway City East moves to fifth count
Irish Freedom Party candidate Susan Feeney has been eliminated on the fourth count in Galway City East.
The fourth count involved the re-distribution of Solidarity/People Before Profit Denman Rooke’s 91 votes. The biggest beneficiary was colleague Conor Burke of Solidarity/People Before Profit who took 44 votes or 48% - keeping him in the race for longer.
Nobody has yet reached the quota. So Feeney’s 120 votes will now be redistributed.
Returning Officer Gary McMahon said they would now simultaneously start counting in Galway City Central.
