@TomasORuanaidh Shame nobody could see any of it on GAA+/tv.

Reads like a mighty win for Westmeath this afternoon, puts a serious dent in Meath’s 2026 hopes - look forward to watching it back later, 4-18 is some scoring for Mark McHugh’s boys. Leinster SFC where it’s at. Wicklow-Dublin a draw game on 55 mins, 2-11 to 1-14. #GAA

ROSCOMMON-GALWAY (3 SEATS) SEVENTH AND FINAL COUNT QUOTA: 10283 DISTRIBUTION OF MURPHY (5779) VOTES FITZMAURICE (II) 12,002 ELECTED KERRANE (SF) 9551 + 1536 = 11087 DALY (FF) 8372 + 1862 = 10234 DOLAN (FG) 6626 + 968 = 7593 Kerrane (SF) and Daly (FF) elected.

Final count in Roscommon-Galway in the next 10 mins or so. Kerrane (SF) and Daly (FF) to join Fitzmaurice (II) in Dáil Éireann.

Sin é on count 6 in Roscommon. One final count to go to distribute Murphy (Ind) 5,779 votes. Kerrane (SF) - 732 short of quota. Daly (FF) - 1911 short of quota. Dolan (FG) - 3657 short of quota. Two to be elected on the next count.

ROSCOMMON-GALWAY (3 SEATS) SIXTH COUNT FITZMAURICE (II) 12,002 ELECTED KERRANE (SF) 9331 + 220 = 9551 (732 short of quota) DALY (FF) 8010 + 362 = 8372 (1911 short of quota) DOLAN (FG) 5228 + 1397 = 6626 (3657 short of quota) MURPHY (IND) 5441 + 338 = 5779 Murphy eliminated.

Kerrane (SF) and Daly (FF) still in seemingly unassailable leads. Murphy (Ind) is 2,569 votes off Daly (FF). Their elections due to happen this afternoon but unlikely in count 6.

Count 5 over in Roscommon Galway. Murphy (Ind) overtakes Dolan (FG). Daly-Finn (FG) has been excluded. Kerrane (SF) 952 votes off quota would need almost 40% of Daly-Finn's transfers in this count to be elected - which seems incredibly unlikely.

Count 4 done in Roscommon-Galway. O'Corcorain (Aon) and Mannion (PBP) excluded. Count 5 will be distribution of their 2,037 votes. Fitzmaurice (II) elected already. To be joined by Kerrane (SF) and Daly (FF) barring the comeback of the century from Dolan (FG) or Murphy (Ind).

Counting back underway in Roscommmon-Galway. Count 4. Michael Fitzmaurice (II) was elected last night. Two seats left likely to be taken by SF’s Claire Kerrane and FF’s Dr Martin Day.

@gavreilly Martin Daly (FF) on 18%, not Dympna Daly Finn, Gav.

Est quota is 10,156. Expectation is that Michael Fitzmaurice (II) will reach quota after 1st count. Counting to get underway shortly.
