Recheck underway in Castlebar for final Midlands North West Euro seat

Galway Bay fm newsroom – Officials in Castlebar have begun rechecking votes in the Midlands Northwest European constituency as the battle for the last seat continues. There's just 275 ballots separating two candidates – Independent Marian Harkin and Fianna Fáil's Pat the Cope Gallagher – for the fourth and final seat. Independent Luke Ming Flanagan, Fine Gael's Mairead McGuinness and Sinn Fein's Matt Carthy have already been elected. Marian Harkin explains how a “recheck” differs from a “recount:” Fianna Fail's Director of elections for the European constituency, Timmy Dooley, says the party is sending representatives to Castlebar to oversee the recheck process.
