Gino Kenny and John Curran in a face off for the last seat in Dublin mid-West, as Emer Higgins FG running mates distribution seems to have gotten her over the line. Gogarty’s transfers should break for Gino? 150 between them
Aylward picked up 355
Murnane O’Connor picked up 2,078
Pope Phelan picked up 3,624
Malcolm picked up 483
Murnane O’Connor and the Pope elected after passing the quota and Malcom is fairly close too. Phelan only has a surplus of 898 and he’s nearly 700 ahead now.
