Reddington from Claran, Headford has pipped his party colleague Abbeyknockmoy’s Pete Roche by about 250 votes with both sitting councillors assured of a seat. Tom Quirke in Abbeyknockmoy failed to make an impact, picking up less than three per cent of first preference votes in the tallies. Sinn Féin didn’t make any significant impact in this LEA, securing just over four per cent in the first preference tallies. The Tuam ballot papers are now being transferred to the County Council count centre in Galway Lawn Tennis Club.
