All five seats are expected to be filled in the Midlands North West

constituency by tonight as counting resumes this morning in Castlebar.

No candidate has reached the quota after 16 counts, but Luke ‘Ming’

Flanagan, Barry Cowen (FF), and Nina Carberry and Maria Walsh (FG) are

expected to take the first four seats.

The fifth seat, between Sinn Féin’s Michelle Gildernew and Independent

Ireland candidate Ciaran Mullooly, could be a tight race.

The final seat will depend on the number of transfers Michelle Gildernew

receives from her running mate Chris McManus when he is eliminated later

today.

Mullooly is currently 18,000 votes ahead of Gildernew as voting

recommences in Castlebar.
