Correction to ELEVENTH COUNT Portlaoise RESULT - Laois local election count Portlaoise #LE24

Returning officer Donal Brennan has announced a correction to the 11th count result from the Portlaoise Municipal District.

Mr Brennan thanked the Pauline Flanagan team for flagging with count staff that 107 votes had not been allocated to Ms Flanagan during the distribution of votes that arose from the elimination of Dom Dunne.
