#Elections2019: Cuffe edges toward landmark Euro victory

Ciarán Cuffe’s was on the verge of a landmark win for the Green Party in the European elections in Dublin last night after topping the poll on the first count.

While he did not make the quota, contrary to the expectations of a Red C exit poll which had predicted the councillor would top the poll with 23% of the vote, he nonetheless performed strongly with 63,849 first preference votes.
