    Lower-preferences

    Which candidates/parties will get your 2nd/later preferences in the elections? This is crucial as a lot of candidates won't reach the quota. Indeed this was particularly the case in the 2004 euro elections.

    For my own part I'm voting (in East):
    1. O'Malley
    2. Funchion
    3. Sharkey

    Wexford borough/county:
    1.Reck (Ind)
    2.Allen (FG)
    3.Roche (FG)
    4.Fenlon (FG)
