Counting for European and Limerick mayoral elections gets underway today and counters, voters and candidates are prepared for anything.
Lynn Boylan was third for Sinn Fein , ahead of MEP Ciaran Cuffe while Labour's Aodhan Ó Ríordáin and Niall Boylan of Independent Ireland well in the mix.
Sinn Féin candidates Kathleen Funchion and Paul Gavan, alongside current MEP Mick Wallace, are the current favourites to take the final seats. Luke Ming Flanagan, Maria Walsh and Barry Cowen are all in pole position to take seats here according to the partial tales, while former RTE reporter Ciarán Mullooly has also polled well.
Fellow independent Helen O’Donnell tallied at 16% and could be more transfer-friendly when it comes to eliminating candidates in what’s expected to be a quick-paced counting process.Nearly all local election seats have been filled as of this morning and the big takeaway is to expect the unexpected.
