In an incredibly tight vote at an online Offaly GAA Convention tonight, Joe Higgins (Tubber) has been re-elected as Leinster Council delegate while former All-Ireland final hurling referee, Brian Gavin (Clara) has been unseated by Dolores Slevin (Kilcormac/Killoughey).
With the quota at 34, Dolores Slevin survived a draw of lots to avoid first round elimination after she and Eamon Phelan (Ballyskenagh/Killavilla) received 21 votes each – Joe Higgins was on 32 with Brian Gavin on 26 after the first ballot.
In the 2nd count, Joe Higgins was on 38 with Brian Gavin and Dolores Slevin on 31. The distribution of Higgins surplus of 4 saw Slevin move to 34 with Gavin picking up just 1 to go to 32 and lose out.
