Constituency wrap: Cork North West

FORMER FG national executive member Áine Collins secured a Dáil seat at her first attempt and pledged job creation will be the party’s priority.

She was elected on the sixth count along with outgoing Fianna Fáil TD Michael Moynihan, who got almost one-in-five first preferences.

FG’s Michael Creed topped the poll with 10,112 votes and was elected on the fifth count, thanks to transfers from unsuccessful party colleague Derry Canty.
