Catherine Connolly was elected in Galway West in the past hour on the 12th count.

However, while it had been expected to be the final count, Deputy Connolly's surplus was so large, another count was required.

The results of the 13th count saw Deputy Naughton secure the final seat at the expense of her Fine Gael party colleague, Junior Minister Sean Kyne.

All seats have now been filled - 5 in Galway West, 3 in Galway East and 3 in Roscommon/Galway.
