The 11th count here at the shoreline leisure centre in Greystones with the redistribution of 4,654 Ballot papers for the 11th candidate to be eliminated, john Snell has seen outgoing Fianna Fail TD Pat Casey lose his seat.

A lack of transfers has seen Independent candidate Joe Behan overtake him and forced Pat Casey’s elimination.

Social Democrat Jennifer Whitmore is now just a little over 700 votes off the quota of 11,887 and it’s expected should could be declared elected to the second seat in Wicklow following this latest transfer count.
