The former MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone, Michelle Gildernew, has failed to win a seat in the European Parliament.<\/p>\n
The Sinn F\u00e9in representative contested the European election in the Republic of Ireland\u2019s Midlands-North-West constituency.<\/p>\n
Ms Gildernew was in the running for the final seat but she lost out to Ciar\u00e1n Mullooly, a former high profile news reporter with the Irish broadcaster RT\u00c9.<\/p>\n
The Sinn F\u00e9in candidate did not attend the declaration of the final result, which took place in Castlebar, County Mayo, just after 03:00 BST on Friday morning.<\/p>\n
She missed out by almost 5,500 votes, as her party lost the seat it had held since 2014.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Ireland has three EU constituencies which send 14 MEPs to Brussels: Dublin, Ireland South and Midlands-North-West.<\/p>\n
With the final results now in, Fine Gael and Fianna F\u00e1il have both won four seats, while Sinn F\u00e9in and independents have taken two each. <\/p>\n
Labour and Independent Ireland have won one seat each.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Last month, after the UK general election was called while she was a candidate in the European elections, Michelle Gildernew announced that she would not defend her seat in Fermanagh and South Tyrone.<\/p>\n
She said her \u201csole focus\u201d was on the European campaign in the Republic.<\/p>\n
Her failure to be elected as an MEP means she now holds no major elected position, after serving as an MLA or MP for around a quarter of a century.<\/p>\n
In a double blow for Sinn F\u00e9in in Midlands-North West, which runs along the border, its outgoing MEP Chris McManus failed to retain his seat in the constituency.<\/p>\n
The five seats in the constituency have been won by outgoing MEPs Luke \u2018Ming\u2019 Flanagan, Independent, and Maria Walsh, Fine Gael; newcomers Nina Carberry, a well known Irish jockey and Fianna F\u00e1il’s Barry Cowen, a brother of the former taoiseach Brian Cowen, and Independent Ireland’s Ciar\u00e1n Mullooly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNina Carberry celebrates her victory with Irish EU Commissioner Mairead McGuinness<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n\nThe Taoiseach Simon Harris and the T\u00e1naiste Miche\u00e1l Martin both travelled to County Mayo for the final stages of the count.<\/p>\nMr Harris said he was ecstatic at his party\u2019s success, while Mr Martin played down suggestions that Fianna F\u00e1il\u2019s three candidate strategy had hampered its chances of taking a second seat in the constituency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nMs Gildernew has been the MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone since 2017.
