11.10PM: Fine Gael Senator Nikki Bradley has been eliminated in the fourteenth count with 6,176 overall votes.
This leaves four candidates battling for the remaining three seats in Donegal.
Sinn Féin candidate Noel Jordan’s 5,513 votes, distributed in this round, gave lifts to both Thomas Pringle (IND) and Charles Ward of the 100% Redress Party.
Pat ‘the Cope’ Gallagher (FF) is now 461 shy of the 12,771 quota.
Despite being leapfrogged by Pringle, Charlie McConalogue’s team are confident they can gain enough from Bradley’s transfers to claim the last seat.
Results from the 14th count:
Bradley Nikki (FG) 6176
Gallagher Pat the Cope (FF) 12310
McConalogue Charlie (FF) 9172
