Longford #LE24: breaking: Result stands in Ballymahon as John Rooney is eliminated

A recount has found no discrepancies or errors in the 6th count in the Ballymahon Municipal District count, resulting in the elimination of Sinn Fein's John Rooney. 

The latest transfer saw a marginal swing in favour of Cllr Murray, who edged one ahead, and survived another count.

Mr Rooney has now been eliminated and transfers from his 695 votes will now be distributed to the remaining candidates.
