THE fourth count in the Tralee Electoral Area did not see any further candidates elected to the Tralee Municipal District of Kerry County Council this afternoon, but Sinn Féin candidate Cllr Deirdre Ferris could make it over the line on the next one.

The count consisted of the distribution of the votes of Eddie O’Grady of the Irish People’s Party, who was eliminated after count three. Jacob Sweeney of The National Party received 175 of his 324 votes.

Meanwhile Deirdre Ferris received 15 transfers to take her to 1,627, just 61 shy of the quota. However, her party colleague Paddy Kevane has now been eliminated, so his 386 votes will now be distributed. Cllr Ferris could get enough transfers here to get her elected.
