Former UFC fighter set to win Dublin council seat

A UFC fighter who is set to win a seat in South Dublin County Council for Sinn Féin has joked he is unlikely to run for the Dáil next as "I don't know if I'm going to be that corrupt".

Sinn Féin candidate Paddy Holohan, from Jobstown in Dublin, has been predicted to top the Tallaght South ward after initial tallies put him on close to the quota needed on the first count.
