NENAGH ELECTIONS: As counting begins number 2 and 3 votes will play a big role

Damien O'Donoghue and Louise Morgan Walsh are currently neck and neck

Nenagh Elections

Counting has just resumed here in the Count Centre in Thurles and with a seemingly firm top four in Nenagh, number two and three votes will be crucial in the fight for the fifth seat.

The Labour Party's Louise Morgan Walsh and Sinn Fein's Damien O'Donoghue stand at 1,123 and 1,074 votes respectively after the initial tallies. 

The tallies so far are based on number 1 votes and are not classed as an "official count", however, if these early indicators are anything to go by, the fifth seat will be the one to watch in Nenagh.

As a reminder, if first choice candidates do not need a vote because they have already been elected or excluded from the count, that ballot's vote will go to the second choice candidate on the ballot. If the second choice candidate also does not need the vote, the candidate marked number three will get the vote and so on.

There could be any amount of movement between seats as the night goes on so stay tuned on Tipperary Live and Nenagh Live for updates.
