Strong possibility of Fianna Fáil gaining two seats in Kildare South

Sean O'Fearghail and Fiona O'Loughlin are polling very well in the Kildare South constituency thus far, and there is a chance that both candidates may make it into office.

The earliest tallies from Kildare South saw Mark Wall, son of former TD Jack Wall, gaining 26% of the vote, but that tally was from an Athy ballot box that was opened. Athy is Wall's area, and his popularity is not as strong in other areas, meaning he has levelled off to around 16% in Kildare South.

The possibility of Fianna Fáil gaining two seats in the constituency is growing ever stronger with each ballot box opened. Fiona O'Loughlin and Sean O'Fearghail hold around 18% of the votes each at the moment, meaning it could be a straight shoot-out between those two and Wall for two of the three seats in Kildare South.

Martin Heydon, as expected, is topping the poll so far and looks to be comfortably moving towards being the first candidate elected in Kildare.
