Fianna Fáil holds seats as final count ends

FIANNA FÁIL last night held onto its three seats in the mid-Roscommon electoral area as the final count of the local elections concluded.

Voting in the area was postponed two weeks ago following the unexpected death of sitting Fine Gael councillor Gerry Donnelly.

His wife Teresa, who decided to run in her husband's place, polled poorly despite indicating strong support on the doorsteps.
