THERE’S still a way to go in the Tralee Electoral Area before the four remaining seats are filled in the Tralee Municipal District of Kerry County Council.

The seventh count consisted of the distribution of the 590 votes of Jacob Sweeney of The National Party, but candidates are still a bit off reaching the quota of 1,688. The big beneficiaries of transfers this time were Sam Locke (130 ) and Thomas McEllistrim (108).

Cllr Sam Locke (Ind) is leading on  1,323 followed by Sinn Féin’s Paul Daly on 1,258, Thomas McEllistrim (Ind) on 986, Fianna Fáil’s Anne O’Sullivan on 978, Angie Baily of Fine Gael on 923, Cathal Foley on 880, Anluan Dunne of the Green Party is on 837 with Sinead Donnelly of Fine Gael on 793.
