She took 22% of the vote.
Independent Carol Nolan says she's delighted with her results in the tallies in Offaly.
The deputy looks set to be returned to the Dail after polling shows she has secured over 8,000 first preference votes.
It will be a three horse race for the other two seats as Fianna Fail's Tony McCormack, John Clendennen of Fine Gael and Sinn Fein's Aoife Masteron all have over 6,000 number ones.
Deputy Nolan says she's grateful to people for putting their faith in her:
