On the final 16th count in the Dublin Euro constituency, Indepedents4Change TD Clare Daly beats Fianna Fáil's Barry Andrews to the 3rd seat. Andrews is now being placed in "cold storage" and will only take his seat if Brexit happens.
Daly's election means that there will be a by-election held in the next six months in the Dublin Fingal constituency. There will also be a by-election in Frances Fitzgerald's Dublin Mid-West constituency. There could also be two more by-elections if Mick Wallace and Billy Kelleher are elected in the South. The large number of by-elections has caused speculation of an early general election.
Sinn Féin MEP Lynn Boylan lost her seat.
Gemma O'Doherty was elimated on the 9th count with a final vote total of 10,622.
Final Count:
Cuffe, Ciaran: 73,028
Fitzgerald, Frances: 78,580
Andrews, Barry: 68,952
Daly, Clare: 87,770
