#Elections2019: Billy Kelleher satisfied with 'good position' after first count

Cork North-Central TD Billy Kelleher has admitted he is in a “good position” after polling in second place in the first count in Ireland South, but says it is “far too early” to be certain of securing a seat.

The Fianna Fáil candidate said he was happy with the result of the first count, which saw no candidate reach the quota, but added that he was cautious of getting too comfortable at this point.
