The deluge said it all — it was an outpouring from every corner of Ireland and well beyond that spoke volumes about Mick O’Dwyer and the impact he had and the power of his personality that transcended his game of football and brought him from the sports pages to the clarechampion.ie/distance-did...

A huge thank you to all of you who stayed with us for what turned out to be a marathon count here in the West County. With four TDs elected, it's time for us to say a brief goodbye while we begin compiling this week's bumper General Election '24 Special.

Eddie Punch (II) has called on Clare’s new TDs to work together to tackle the issues that he has heard while canvassing for the recent European and Dáil elections. “I hope that the four people elected will prioritise the needs of Clare over party politics in Dublin," he said.

Timmy Dooley (FF) might be too far below the quota to get elected on the next count. But even if he isn't elected then he will almost certainly come in on the one after, which is set to be the distribution of Eddie Punch's votes.

833 of Dr Tom Nolan's votes stayed with FG. Leonora Carey took 492, compared with Joe Cooney's 341, but it still looks unlikely she can overtake either Cooney or Donna McGettigan (SF). There was geographical loyalty evident, with 575 transfers going to Rita McInerney.

Caitríona Ní Chatháin finished on 924 votes which are now being distributed. Will the People Before Profit candidate's votes transfer heavily to Donna McGettigan? Could a lot of them go to independents?

Donna McGettigan (SF) is the first candidate to arrive at the count centre. It is very likely she will leave the West County Hotel this afternoon as a TD.
