Nail biting finish for Fermanagh South Tyrone

It’s all getting very tense here at the Fermanagh South Tyrone count at the Omagh Leisure Centre, with a close finish expected for the last two seats.

Sinn Fein’s Michille Gildernew and Jemma Dolan were deemed elected on stage three of the count, with a total of 9,385 and 8,928 votes respectively.

The UUP’s Rosemary Barton, who now has a total of 8,334, not far off the quota of 8,711, meaning she could now be hard to catch up with.
