The counting of votes in the Donegal Electoral Area has concluded. Earlier, the poll topping success of Niamh Kennedy was followed by the election of fellow independent Tom Conaghan and Fianna Fail’s Sean Mc Eniff. It then went down to the wire, with Fine Gael’s John Boyle losing his seat, and after a battle between sitting councillors Barry O’Neill of FG and Brendan Byrne of FF, Cllr O’Neill took the last seat, having seen SF first timer Noel Jordan also take a seat.
