There was drama right to the end of counting in the Conamara South – with Fianna Fáil first timer Daragh Ó Tuairisg losing out in sight of the finishing post.
The transfer of his party colleague Daithí Ó Cualáin’s 1,056 votes ensured election for Máirtín Lee – but they also ensured that Independent Ireland secured another seat with Michael Leainde.
Tomás Ó Curraoin also retained his seat as the final three seats were filled without any of the candidates reaching the quota.
