The second count has been completed at the Roscommon-Galway count centre with nobody else reaching the quota.
Independent candidate Vincent Beirne’s votes will now be distributed in the third count.
Senator Eugene Murphy received the greatest number of Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice’s surplus votes, snaring 455, with Fianna Fáil’s Dr Martin Daly getting 422 and solidifying his chance of taking the third seat.
It will likely take the distribution of Senator Murphy’s votes before Sinn Féin’s sitting TD Claire Kerrane will cross the line after she received 410 transfers from Deputy Fitzmaurice.
