There's always one area that throws up an election thriller.And this year it was in the Graiguecullen-Portarlington Municipal District where Fine Gael candidates PJ Kelly and Vivienne Phelan slugged it out for the final seat.After the first count Kelly was 191 votes ahead but the transfer-friendly Phelan eat into that lead bit by bit before final getting in front following the distribution of Aisling Moran's surplus.As well as looking back over the count, we hear from Vivienne Phelan, PJ Kelly, Aisling Moran (Independent), Joey Kennedy (Fianna Fail) and Aaron Kelly (Sinn Fein).All interviews were recorded in the Count Centre so may contain references to upcoming counts, which now have been completed.
