Discussing spoilt votes.

Candidates and candidate representatives in Wexford gather around the table to review spoilt votes. This was taken at the count centre in the St. Joseph's Club Community Centre in Wexford on Saturday, the 28th of February, 2016. Visible are Sinn Fein candidate Johnny Mythen, Fine Gael candidate Michael D'Arcy, Social Democrats candidate Leonard Kelly and Labour Cllr George Lawlor, who was representing Brendan Howlin. Funnily enough, one particular vote was spoiled because the voter decided to use fractions instead of numbers!

Mr Kelly was eliminated on the 7th count with 2,179 votes - a great improvement for a candidate that received 499 votes in the local elections in 2014. Photo date: 27th February 2016.

The roundabout is named after the late Seamus Kelly, who was the first Wexfordman to represent Ireland in rugby. The naming ceremony took place back in May of 2014. In the top left corner, you can see the Wexford County Council building in Carricklawn.
