Why this leans Fine Gael
The 1.4-point gap between the top two finishers here in 2024 sits on top of a longer pattern: Fine Gael's national first-preference vote share has run 27.3% in 2007, 36.1% in 2011, 25.5% in 2016, 20.9% in 2020, then 20.8% in 2024 No digitised constituency-level results exist here for elections before 2024, so this is Fine Gael's country-wide trend, not a claim about this seat's own history — but a party that's dominated the national picture for this long is a big part of why its 2024 local result, and this lean, look the way they do.

2024 General Election — First Preferences
First-preference vote share by candidate. Brian Brennan (Fine Gael) topped the poll with 23.1%. 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. .
