Who has been elected in the Waterford local election and where will other seats go?

The Waterford local election count is advancing well across the six electoral areas. As of lunchtime on Sunday, 12 candidates have been elected. 32 will take up seats on the new council by the time the count has concluded.

See below our breakdown of each of the LEAs in Waterford

Waterford City East

There are also six seats being contested in the Waterford City East Electoral Area with two already filled by Declan Barry (Ind) and David Daniels (Ind), both of whom have reached the quota.

Waterford City South

Two of the six seats in the south of the city have been filled by John Hearne and Donal Barry. Five counts have been concluded in the area and a major battle is on for the final two seat.

Jason Murphy (FF) on 975 votes looks likely to be the next candidate elected with the quota sitting at 1,058. Sinn Féin's Joeanne Bailey is also looking good for the fourth seat.

Dungarvan

Damien Geoghegan (FG) and Conor McGuinness (SF) have taken the first two seats in Dungarvan with four others still in play. Tom Cronin (FF) on 1,287 cotes after four counts is very close to the quota of 1,311 and will be elected.
