A RECOUNT of local election votes from the 2014 Listowel Electoral Area will take place at the John Mitchels GAA sports complex on Wednesday, February 10.

This comes after former Fianna Fáil senator Dan Kiely, challenged the outcome of the election and was successful after the case went before the Supreme Court in Dublin.

Kiely demanded a recount after losing the election by just two votes.

The John Mitchels venue was chosen this morning for the recount at Limerick Circuit Court by Judge Tom O’Donnell.

In total, 14,929 ballots in the seven-seat Listowel area will be recounted, almost 21 months since they were cast and then counted at the John Mitchels venue.
