The Green Party's Anluan Dunne has been eliminated following the ninth count of the Tralee Local Electoral Area which involved the distribution of the votes of Fine Gael's Sinéad Donnelly.
Mr Dunne's departure means there are six candidates left for the four remaining seats in this seven-seat constituency. Incumbents Fianna Fail's Mikey Sheehy, Labour's Terry O'Brien, and Sinn Féin's Deirdre Ferris were elected earlier.
