Martin McDermott of Fianna Fail is elected, and his extra votes transferred and DDI candidate Haden Ellis and Independent Paul Ferguson were eliminated.
Martin Farren picked up 13 votes and Mary McCauley picked up 76. She picked up the 2nd most after Bernard McGuinness who picked up 91.
Rena Donaghey picked up 45 which moves her a little more to safety.
Martin Farren is now 62 above the 10th spot in 8th place when there are only 9 seats. There are plenty of votes still to be transferred though.
Paul Ryan, in 9th, looks good for that 9th spot as there are two Fine Gael candidates below him and he’ll take some of their votes.
Ciaran McLaughlin in 10th spot doesn’t have any other Sinn Fein candidates below him and Sinn Fein don’t get as many transfers as the other parties.
