Constituency wrap: Cork East

FOR the first time since 1927, Fianna Fáil will not have a TD representing the Cork East constituency.

In 2007, Ned O’Keeffe and Michael Ahern received more than 20,000 votes between them.

This time Mr Ahern and Kevin O’Keeffe, running instead of his father, managed less than half those first preferences and suffered the consequences, with both of them being eliminated.
