Crowley wins, but Sinnott beats Collins in South

Disability rights campaigner Kathy Sinnott humbled Fianna Fail tonight by beating MEP Gerry Collins to the third European seat in the South constituency.

Fianna Fail MEP Brian Crowley, who topped the poll for the third election in a row with around 125,000 votes, blamed the Director of Election John O’Donoghue for the disaster.
