Borris-in-Ossory/Mountmellick have returned the same six candidates to Laois County Council in this year’s Local Elections.
But there is still a lot to talk about. Conor Bergin’s massive vote, the enduring vote-getting ability of Fianna Fail duo Seamus McDonald and Paddy Bracken and how Paddy Buggy missed out on a seat despite a huge first preference showing.
As well as looking back on the count, we hear from successful candidates Conor Bergin (Fine Gael), James Kelly (Independent), Ollie Clooney (Independent), Seamus McDonald (Fianna Fail) and Paddy Bracken (Fianna Fail) plus Paddy Buggy (Fine Gael) and Fintan Cuddy (Fianna Fail) who lost out.
All interviews were recorded in the Count Centre so may contain references to upcoming counts, which now have been completed.
