FF face first seat loss in Roscommon-South Leitrim since 1927

After all boxes were opened in the three-seat constituency of Roscommon-South Leitrim, the prediction is that Fine Gael would win two seats and Independents one seat.

After the final tally was made, the predicted quota was 11,694, while the predicted valid poll was 46,672.

FINAL TALLY:

Connaughton Ivan FF 4054 (8.6%)

Feighan Frank FG 8823 (18.9%)

Flanagan Luke Ming IND 8202 (17.9%)

Kearns Sean IND 100 (0.2%)

Kelly John LAB 4377 (9.4%)

Kenny Martin SF 4558 (9.7%)

Kilrane Gerry FF 2967 (6.3%)

McDaid Gareth Green 229 (0.4%)

McDermott John Ind 3724 (7.9%)

Naughten Dennis FG 9738 (21%)

The first official count is expected at 3.30pm-4pm.

Fianna Fáil have had a seat in the constituency since 1927, but are unlikely to have one after counting finishes today.

Luke 'Ming' Flanagan would be a controversial addition to the Dáil.
