Fine Gael will have one TD in the Dáil as John Paul Phelan has retained his seat for Carlow-Kilkenny.

He’s joined by senator Jennifer Murnane O’Connor (FF) who has overcome her disappointment from 2016 to claim a Dáil seat.

It took until the eighth count at Lyrath and the distribution of outgoing TD Pat Deering’s votes.

With 7,143 potential votes up for grabs, the party connection and Carlow connection won it out for both candidates.
