Paschal Donohoe of Fine Gael is elected to Dublin Central

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

The tally people in Dublin Central who previously believed that Gerard Hutch would take a seat now believe the final seat here will go to Labours Marie Sherlock. Of the 930 surplus votes after Gary Gannon got elected 716 went to Marie Sherlock, 18
to Gerard Hutch

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

Unofficial: Labour (not cross-party) tally of Mary FitzPatrick’s votes:

Donohoe (FG) + 1686
Sherlock (Lab) + 508
Hutch (Ind) + 155

Donohoe elected

Gap between Hutch and Sherlock narrows to 129

Donohoe surplus of 1410 next to be distributed

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

Donohoe will have a surplus of 1400. Of whatever proportion is transferable by this stage Hutch will receive very little, Sherlock the balance.

This unofficial count puts Marie Sherlock in the driving seat and Gerry Hutch playing catch up.

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

Unofficial: With Marie Sherlock chasing Gerry Hutch’s 482 vote lead this is how the cross-party tally sees this playing out.

Fitzpatrick (FF) will transfer approx 60% to Donohoe (FG), the balance to Sherlock and virtually nil to Hutch.

Then …

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

Labour’s Marie Sherlock chases down Gerry Hutch to a 482 vote gap.

There’s a Paschal Donohoe (FG) surplus and Mary FitzPatrick (FF) elimination still to come.

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

Unofficial: Tallymen estimate the distribution of Gary Gannon’s surplus will narrow the gap between Gerry Hutch and Marie Sherlock from 1,180 to 482.

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

Two counts left here.

The distribution of Gannon’s 930 vote surplus, and the elimination of Mary FitzPatrick and transfer of her 2768 votes. There may also be a small Paschal Donohoe surplus, unlikely to change much.

Sherlock is chasing Hutch’s 1180 vote lead

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

Gary Gannon elected to Dublin Central

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

Count 8:

Gary Gannon elected.

Only 26 Neasa Hourigan transfers to Gerry Hutch. 851 to Marie Sherlock.

Sherlock closes the gap with Hutch from 2005 to 1,180

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

Count 7.
Nearly three fifths of Malachy Steenson’s votes transfer to Gerry Hutch, leaving a gap of 2005 between him and the chasing pack.

[RTÉ Dublin Central @RTEdubCENTRAL]

Unofficial: Cross party tally has had full sight of all Steenson transfers and calculates 59% will go to Gerry Hutch.

If accurate that would put Hutch on 5,029, up to 2000 votes clear of Marie Sherlock.

Good morning. Day 2 in the RDS. Counting due to get underway in the next ten minutes.

Anti-immigrant candidate Malachy Steenson was eliminated late last night. Tallymen now expect 44% of his 2195 votes to transfer to gangland figure Gerry Hutch.
