So basically, after McHugh, there are 4 candidates (SF, 3xFF) in with a shot of the other two seats. It looks to be damned close:

If Blaney is eliminated then SF are home safe I think, as the Blaney vote is more like an SF vote than FF (Blaney won as Independent FF last time, it goes back to the Arms Crisis).

FG McHugh 8447

FF McDaid 6724
SF MacLochlainn 6630
FF Blaney 6275
FF Keavney 6252

Ind Harte 1290 (Ind – former FG)
Ind McGuinness ? (not mentioned in the tally above – presumably very low?)
Lab McLaughlin 801
GP Gallagher 512
CS Doherty 330
