In the fifth count, Blaney received 59 transfers which brought the total to 2,051 and McGarvey received 283 transfers which brought the total number of votes to 1,947. John O’Donnell was automatically eliminated with a total of 1,671 following 233 transfers and Blaney and McGarvey gained a seat without reaching the quota.
Declan Meehan was elected in the fourth count having received 188 transfers which pushed his total figure to 2,074. This figure therefore surpassed the 2,058 quota required.
After count five, the total number of non-transferable votes is 487.
