Michael McDowell SC was elected as the first member of the 27th Seanad, achieving this milestone at midnight on the first count. Notably, outgoing Senators Ronán Mullen and Alice Mary Higgins are also in strong positions to secure their seats, as they hold significant vote tallies nearing the required quota of just over 9,000 votes. Other candidates like Eva Dowling and Ronán Collins are lagging far behind, making it improbable for them to catch up. The ongoing count in the Trinity College Dublin constituency signals an interesting distribution as several candidates vie for the remaining seats.
The latest count shows that McDowell was easily elected at midnight, with Mullen and Higgins also likely to secure seats following their substantial vote counts.
With a quota of just over 9,000 votes, Mullen and Higgins are projected to join McDowell, while other candidates are trailing far behind.
