Former Taoiseach Brian Cowen was on hand to celebrate with the four successful Fianna Fail candidates in the Tullamore Area
The counting of votes in the Tullamore Electoral Area has come to and end as the final two seats have been filled.
As has been forecast for much of the county, Fianna Fail's Declan Harvey and first time candidate Ollie Bryant have taken the last two seats giving the party four of the seven seats in the Tullamore Electoral Area.
After the sixth count, Declan Harvey reached the quota and was deemed elected. Shortly after, Ollie Bryant was also deemed elected as his total of 1,408 votes was more than the combined votes of the remaining candidates and any other non transferred votes.
The two candidates who were eliminated were Sandy Feehan Smollen and Patrick Broder
The seven elected representatives for the Tullamore Electoral Area are:
Neil Feighrey – FG
Frank Moran – FF
Sean O'Brien -IND
Tony McCormack -FF
Aoife Masterson – SF
Declan Harvey – FF
Ollie Bryant – FF
