Fitzmaurice and Kerrane set to steal the show in Roscommon Galway
Michael Fitzmaurice may have lost much of his electoral hinterland in East Galway in the redrawn Roscommon Galway constituency, but he remains an electoral phenomenon.
Representing Independent Ireland, the Glinsk native looks to have even surpassed his 28.67% share of the first preference vote from 2020, with an eye-watering 29.12% share this time around, based on tallies.
Sinn Féin made electoral history in 2020 in this constituency when Claire Kerrane was elected and she is set to return to Dáil Eireann, also with an increased share of the first preference vote.
Her tallies indicate a vote of 19.5%, up from 17.6%.
Of course, the departure of another popular vote getter Denis Naughten has opened up a significant batch of votes. But even with that caveat, it's a hugely impressive performance by both Fitzmaurice and Kerrane to increase their vote share, if the tallies are correct.
Elsewhere, the third seat looks destined to go to Fianna Fáil - in the shape of Ballygar's Martin Daly.
Daly has implemented a huge canvass in recent weeks, including a focus on the South Roscommon area - and it appears to have paid off - as he is strong favourite to secure the third seat in this three-seat constituency.
