Full Recount For Ireland South Gets Underway Today

It follows a request by Sinn Fein

A full recount of European Election ballot papers in the Ireland South constituency is to get underway this morning.

Sinn Fein requested the recount after only 326 votes separated Liadh Ní Riada and the Green Party's Grace O'Sullivan.

The some 756-thousand ballot papers from the 12 county constituency have been stored at Nemo Rangers GAA Club.

It's expected that the recount will take 28 days to complete, at a cost of one million euro.
