****FINAL SEATS FILLED - DUBLIN SOUTH-CENTRAL****

Jen Cummins (SD)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh (SF)
Máire Devine (SF)

(Catherine Ardagh FF elected in the previous count)

[RTÉ Dublin South-Central @RTEdubSCENTRAL]

Among her priorities: finding school places for children with additional needs, through a 'central application system'.

She said her own son Darragh, who is autistic, does not yet have a school place from January.

[RTÉ Dublin South-Central @RTEdubSCENTRAL]

Dublin South-Central has its first TD of the 34th Dáil.

FF’s Catherine Ardagh was elected on the 14th Count.

She said she was “humbled and honoured” to be selected to serve the people of DSC, and looked forward to following in the footsteps of her late father, Seán Ardagh

An ever-evolving leaderboard for Dublin South-Central provoking much interest here in the RDS.

FF's Catherine Ardagh currently out in front after receiving 2,146 transfers from FG's Mary Seery Kearney in Count 11.

[RTÉ Dublin South-Central @RTEdubSCENTRAL]

Seery Kearney’s team said they were satisfied with process and Count 11 will proceed.

[RTÉ Dublin South-Central @RTEdubSCENTRAL]

A recheck of transfers from Patrick Costello to Darragh Moriarty has taken place following a request from Mary Seery Kearney’s team.

Just three votes separated FG’s Seery Kearney and Labour’s Moriarty in the last count.

One ballot was deemed not to be non-transferable.
