Ciaran Brogan is congratulated by family and friends at the Aura Centre in Letterkenny
Ciaran Brogan and Jimmy Kavanagh have secured the fourth and fifth seats on the Letterkenny LEA.
Following the 13th count, both men surpassed the quota of 1,629. Brogan of Fianna Fáil moved onto 1,822 with 201 transfers and Kavanagh, Fine Gael, picked up 116 for 1,685.

There are now three in the running for the final two seats. Michael McBride (1,572), independent; Fianna Fáil's Donal Coyle (1,212) and Mary T Sweeney (1,129), Aontú, and next Brogan's surplus of 193 will be split.
