Roche looking to challenge elimination

It's reported that outgoing Minister Dick Roche is not ruling out a further challenge to the election results, after he was eliminated from the Wicklow count in the last hour.

It's just been tweeted that Minister Roche's campaign team is keeping all options open.

Meanwhile, Fine Gael's Liam Quinn has been eliminated from the count in Laois Offaly, where counting is continuing.

Ballot papers are also being checked in Galway West with 12 more Dáil seats still to be filled nationwide.
