Donegal

Co. Donegal
Sinn Féin-leaning

Donegal is a 5-seat constituency dominated by Sinn Féin's Pearse Doherty, the party's finance spokesperson, who topped the poll with almost a quarter of first preferences. The standout result in 2024 was Charles Ward's election on the "100% Redress" ticket — a single-issue party campaigning for full compensation for homeowners affected by the mica and pyrite defective-block crisis that has damaged thousands of houses across the county — which unseated long-serving independent TD Thomas Pringle.

2024 General Election — First Preferences

First-preference vote share by candidate. Pearse Doherty (Sinn Féin) topped the poll with 24.7%. Bold candidates were elected — final seats are decided by PR-STV transfers, not first preferences alone.

Under PR-STV, surplus and elimination transfers decide the final seats, so a candidate can be elected from well below the quota — or miss out despite a strong first count. .
