Final tally count 12.30pm

At the end of the tally with all boxes opened, the Kilcullen first preferences vote pretty well mirrors the overall performance of the candidates through the constituency. However there were a couple of notable differences.



Sean Power FF won overwhelmingly the lion's share of the Kilcullen vote, with 29 percent of the poll. In second place was his fellow party candidate Sean O Fearghaill with 20 percent. Jack Wall of Labour polled 19 percent, while the FG vote went to Richard Daly's 10 percent and Alan Gillis's 7 percent.

Jane Mullins of the PDs polled more strongly in Kilcullen than in the general constituency, gaining 7 percent of the vote, while JJ Power of the Greens pulled in a similar percentage of the poll. Independent candidate Tom Doyle achieved 1 percent of the Kilcullen vote.

The overall constituency tally shows Sean O Fearghaill and Sean Power with 25 percent each of the first preference vote with Jack Wall on 21 percent, Richard Daly 10 percent, Alan Gillis 8 percent, J J Power 6 percent, Jane Mullins 4 percent and Tom Doyle 1 percent.

A proper first count isn't expected until well after lunch.
