First-count results will not be declared in the Killarney Municipal District this evening.

Count centre staff will begin sorting through the 12,276 ballots cast in the district at around 8 pm tonight.
That is expected to take between two and three hours.

At that time count staff will be stood down for the night and the count proper will start at 9 am on Sunday.
That is expected to take around three hours so the first result will known around noon on Sunday.
It looks certain that both Maura Healy Rae and Martin Grady will be elected on the first count.
As it stands Rae looks likely to top the poll – she is on a whopping 23 per cent of the vote.
If she tops the official poll it will be her second time in a row doing so.
Martin Grady has secured 15 per cent of the current tally.
Both look likely to exceed the quota which will be determined before the count starts
Brendan Cornin is now third in the tally is on 11 per cent and John O’Donoghue is fourth and is on ten per cent. They will face the second or third counts to get elected.
In pole position for the remaining three seats are Marie Moloney, Niall Kelleher and Niall ‘Botty’ O’Callaghan who are all hovering around eight per cent.
It looks like there will be no change in Killarney District but it is still early days yet and these are just tally figures.
While it is only tally times, the next in line is Dermot Healy is on 4.7 per cent, Damien Switzer is on 2.5 per cent, Diarmuid Griffin is on 2.4 per cent.
These three candidates are unlikely to challenge for the seventh seat
