Election count: First indicators


With the tally completed for the Athy Municipal Area, the indications are two Fianna Fail, two Labour, one Fine Gael, and probably a Sinn Fein tussle for the last seat, writes Brian Byrne.

On the predictions, Martin Miley (FF) will head the poll at 17 percent, with Mark Wall (Lab) coming second with 15 percent. Mark Dalton (FF) has 13.4 percent of the tally, while Aoife Breslin (Lab) has 11.9 percent. Ivan Keatley (FG) is expected to gain 11.5 percent.

With six seats in the area, the next placings on the tally are FG's Richard O'Rourke (9%), Sinn Fein's Thomas Redmond (8.2%), Jer Kelly of Sinn Fein (7.9%) and Fine Gael's Richard Daly (5.7%).


The Naas Municipal Area boxes are still being tallied, but early indications are showing Sorcha O'Neill (SF) and Rob Power (FF) doing very well from the Kilcullen area, while James Lawless (FF) is also doing very well in Naas.

The actual Naas count is scheduled to begin at 12 noon, the Athy count won't be done until Naas is completed.
