Fianna Fáil Councillor and Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council Seamus O’Domhnaill has lost his seat on the seventh count for Glenties LEA.

The Falcarragh man took the reins from former Cathaoirleach Gerry McMonagle (SF) last June.

He has been a member of Donegal County Council since 2009.

His 1,222 votes will now be redistributed.

After his colleague Enda Bonner was voted out on the sixth count, just two Fianna Fáil candidates remain; Noreen McGarvey and Anthony Molloy who are currently sitting on 1402 and 1574 seats respectively.

 

Here are the figures after the seventh count:

Brian Carr (SF) +52 … 1263
Marie Theresa Gallagher (SF) +291 … 1615
Michael Mc Clafferty (Fine Gael) +35 … 1376
Noreen McGarvey (FF) +231 … 1402
Anthony Molloy (FF) +174 … 1574
John Sheamuis Ó Fearraigh (SF) +32 … 1782

Quota: 1,875, Electorate: 23,165, Turnout: 12,851, Spoiled: 147, Valid: 12,704
