Read more about: Munster 
It looks like Alan Kelly is ahead by 8K from Sinnot after she pulled ahead of Ferris on Kelly’s surplus by 688 votes. Figures suggest around 75,000 votes from Ferris to decide the final seat between Kelly and Sinnot
Colm Burke is not happy with the way he was treated see end of post.
Up in North and West we are still on the recheck and havent begun second count.
figures in full from South after elimination of Colm Burke .. Ferris +4,094.. 73,389 Sean Kelly +36,318.. 134,712.. elected.. surplus 10,180 ..Alan Kelly +7,660.. 78,651 Sinnott +4,429.. 71,249. …… 7,402 votes separate the last three.. 2,140 between Ferris and Sinnott.. distribution of Kelly surplus to take around 90 mins.. we are dangerously close to a recount, I understand..
South 5th Count.. (Crowleys surplus) Burke.. +694 .. 58,654 Ferris +999.. 69,295 Kelly (A) +682 .. 70,991 Kelly (S) +912.. 98,394 Sinnott +1,402.. 66,920 Colm Burke eliminated and his vote now being distributed. If Sinnott overtakes Ferris here, then it’s going to be very, very interesting
South .. 3rd count .. Ferris +1443 .. 67,304 Alan Kelly +2562.. 69,683 Sinnott +2238.. 64,295.. Sinnot didn’t get as big a transfer as might have been expected .. theoretically these figures favour Alan Kelly at the moment. Ned O’Keeffe has now been eliminated. He has 17,124 papers.. he will almost unquestionably elect Crowley who currently has 122,404.. but where his vote goes after that will be interesting.. smart money beginning to shift towards Alan Kelly now in the longer
The Colm Burke Quotes:
“At this stage, I have to concede that my seat is gone and I’m obviously disappointed about that,” he said.
“I needed to be at 15% and I came in around 11%. I was right in my assessment when I saw the exit polls which are reasonably accurate.”
Asked about the Fine Gael election strategy which saw former GAA president Seán Kelly added to the line-up, Mr Burke said: “I am extremely disappointed by the decision of party headquarters and I will be openly expressing that to the party leader.
“I certainly didn’t get any indication that they were on my side,” a clearly annoyed Mr Burke said.
theres 1000 of a differnce in Alan kelly Votes from the 2nd count figures and the 3rd count figures, what is the correct figure??–2nd count figures from the blog show him on 66121, if that figure is correct then after the he received 2532 transfers then he should be on 68683 not 69683
