Independent Brennan is returned for a third term while Aisling Moran is in for the first time and takes the seat vacated by her dad John who retired.
Fine Fael’s Vivienne Phelan was eliminated on the final count and her transfers saw Brennan go over the quota with 1,525.
Aisling Moran did not reach the quota of 1,452 but she was elected as the gap between her and Eoin Barry was greater than the surplus available from transfers from Ben Brennan.

The line up is now as follows for the next five years: Padraig Fleming (FF), Paschal McEvoy (FF), Tom Mulhall (FG), Ben Bre
