Guidelines to be issued ahead of Kerry poll recount
The Supreme Court ruling, which requires a recount of election votes in Listowel, Co Kerry, means a substantially different result could be declared for the seven-seater area.
Department of Environment sources said all votes ‘from the start’ will be counted again under the supervision of the courts after the successful challenge by former Senator Dan Kiely. A full recount will now take place and due to our proportional representation system, which eliminates candidates but transfers their votes, there may be a totally different result.
