Jack Horgan-Jones joins Hugh Linehan to analyse the latest news from count centres across the country.

First count results are starting to trickle in with Fine Gael’s Jennifer Carroll MacNeill the first TD to be elected after meeting the quota in Dún Laoghaire.

Tallies indicate that Sinn Féin’s Pearse Doherty will romp home in Donegal.

With 8,820 first preference votes, first time candidate Brian Brennan, a hotelier, has topped the poll as Fine Gael’s sole candidate in this new, three-seat constituency.
