European Parliament legislation approved by both Houses about three weeks ago sets out that there will be one count in all three constituencies. However, if Brexit is not concluded prior to the European Elections being held the final seat in Dublin and South will not be taken up until Brexit is concluded. In light of last night's agreement, one might interpret that if Britain leaves the European Union at Hallowe'en the final seat in Dublin and in South will be taken up by those who are elected in the election of 24 May, once Britain has let the European Union. That was approved and agreed unanimously by all parties in both Houses.
