#Elections2019: Sinn Féin's Matt Carthy expecting 'dog fight' for European seats in Midlands North West

Sinn Féin's sitting MEP Matt Carthy believes his Midlands North West vote haul may be up to 2% lower than Friday's exit poll suggested and that he will be in a "dog fight" for the final two European seats.
Mr Carthy admitted he is concerned about the situation as he separately said he believes Fine Gael MEP Mairead McGuinness and Independent MEP Luke Ming Flanagan are likely to take the first two of the four seats on offer.
