Three candidates elected in latest count in Tullamore Local Election
Three candidates have been elected on the latest count in the Tullamore Electoral Area.
Sean O'Brien (IND) and Tony McCormack (FF) have retained their seats after the third count while first time candidate Aoife Masterson has taken a seat for Sinn Fein.
With Neil Feighery (FG) and Frank Moran (FF) already elected, that leaves just two seats remaining to be filled in the Tullamore Area and both will almost certainly go to Fianna Fail as Ollie Bryant, who is currently in seventh in the voting, is almost 500 votes ahead of Sandra Feehan Smollen and he is only 86 votes short of the quota.
