Celebrations in Meath West last night as Aontu Leader Peadar Toibin elected on the fourth count #GE24

Meath West: SF's Johnny Guirke elected on the 3rd count. 275 votes now separate Dempsey (FF) and Nelson Murray (FG). The next count could see both the 2nd & 3rd seats filled, but if the result is so close that Guirke’s surplus could make a difference there will be a fifth count. #GE24 #meathwest
