#Breaking Roderic O’Gorman has held his seat and will return as the sole Green Party representative in the 34th Dáil #GeneralElection24 @thejournal_ie

Green Party Leader Roderic O’Gorman and Labour’s John Walsh look on as counting continues in Dublin West. Most likely, one of them will be eliminated in the next count which is due in about 5 minutes. @thejournal_ie #GeneralElection24

With the loss of Minister Catherine Martin, Green Party Leader Roderic O’Gorman is effectively the last chance for the party. He was on track for the 5th seat in Dub W but has remained begin Aontu Ellen Troy in the last 3 counts. Count 12 underway. #GeneralElection24

Count 11 in Dublin west and the standings are as follows: PBP Coppinger: 5,211 AON Troy: 4,348 GP O’Gorman: 3,777 LAB Walsh: 3,299 SocDems Ellen Murphy was eliminated on a final count of 3,094 @thejournal_ie

It’s now looking increasingly unlikely that Green’s Leader Roderic O’Gorman will hold on to his seat. He was tracking well for the 5th seat but Aontú’s Ellen Troy has topped him two counts in a row now. She sits on 4,000, O’Gorman on 3,652.

Half of the country’s TDs have now been elected but one of the coalition party leaders still remains in the dark after 9 counts. Roderic O’Gorman still patiently waiting to find out his fate at the Dublin West count centre. @thejournal_ie

Aontú’s Ellen Troy has leapfrogged Green’s Roderic O’Gorman to take 5th place in the polls at Dub West. Still 2 seats open but O’Gorman needs transfers from Ind. Tania Doyle who was just eliminated, to get back in the race. @RuthCoppingerSP still on track for 4th seat.

FG Colm Brophy has been elected in Dublin South West on count 7 That fills the 2nd seat in the constituency, the 1st was taken by Sinn Féin’s Sean Crowe RTE reports that Brophy picked up 3,455 of FG’s Sarah Barnes’ transfers, after she was eliminated on count 6 @thejournal_ie

Dublin West count six results, no more elected and non-party candidate Natalie Treacy eliminated. Her 1,099 votes will now be redistributed. @thejournal_ie #GeneralElection24
