The second count is continuing for Ireland South, following the election of Fianna Fail's Brian Crowley to the European Parliament.
Crowley was elected with a surplus of fifty thousand, and those votes are now being distributed.
Sinn Fein's Liadh Ni Riada looks on course to take the second seat while Fine Gael's Sean Kelly is widely expected to take the third.
The fourth seat will depend on transfers.
