Wexford-born Independents4Change MEP Mick Wallace has lost his seat as the lowest-placed candidate after the 20th count in the Ireland South constituency.

Independent Michael McNamara, Sinn Féin’s Kathleen Funchion and Fianna Fáil’s Cynthia Ní Mhurchú have taken the final three seats. They will join Fine Gael’s Seán Kelly and Fianna Fáil’s Billy Kelleher as MEPs for the constituency.

68 years old Wallace is a native of Welingtonbridge and served as a Wexford constituency member of Dail Éireann from 2011 to 2019, when he was elected a member of the European Parliament.
