Laois Offaly TD Barry Cowen and Independent Ireland rep Ciarán Mullooly are in the mix for a seat.
The counting of votes for the Midlands Northwest constituency will get underway again this morning.
It’s hoped there will then be a first count at 6 o clock this evening.
Sitting MEPs Luke Ming Flanagan and Maria Walsh and Laois Offaly TD Barry Cowen are all in pole position to take seats here according to the partial tallies, while former RTE reporter Ciarán Mullooly has also polled well.
