The result increased by one, any fractional remainder being disregarded, shall be the number sufficient to secure the return of the candidate. This number is herein called the “quota.”

7. Ar dheire aon chomhrimh no ar dheire aistriú aon bhirt no fho-bhirt iarrthóra do cuireadh as, más cóionann leis na má's mó ná an quota an éifeacht a cuirfear i leith aon iarrthóra, tuigfear an t-iarrthóir sin do bheith-roghnuithe.

8. (1) If at the end of any count the value credited to a candidate is greater than the quota, the surplus shall be transferred in accordance with the provisions of this Rule to the continuing candidate or candidates indicated on the voting papers in the parcel or sub-parcel of the selected candidate, according to the next available preferences recorded thereon.

(2) (a) If the value credited to a selected candidate arises out of original votes only, the Returning Officer shall examine all the papers in the parcel of the selected candidate, whose surplus is to be transferred, and shall arrange the transferable papers in sub-parcels according to the next available preferences recorded thereon, and shall make a separate sub-parcel of the non-transferable papers.

(b) Más as bun-vótanna agus vótanna aistrithe no as vótanna astrithe amháin a thagann an éifeacht a cuirtear i leith iarrthóra roghnuithe, scrúdóidh an Ceann Comhrimh na páipéirí atá sa bhfobheart is déanaí fuair an t-iarrthóir roghnuithe, agus déanfa sé a thuille fo-bheartanna de sna páipéirí ionaistrithe atá ann do réir na gcéad roghanna eile breacuithe ortha atá ar fáil, agus déanfa sé beart fé leith de sna páipéirí neamh-ionaistrithe.

(b) If the value credited to a selected candidate arises out of original and transferred votes, or of transferred votes only, the Returning Officer shall examine the papers contained in the sub-parcel last received by the selected candidate, and shall arrange the transferable papers therein in further subparcels according to the next available preferences recorded thereon and shall make a separate subparcel of the non-transferable papers.

(c) In aon de sna cásanna dá dtagartar i míreanna (a) agus (b) sa bhfo-alt so, gheobhaidh an Ceann Comhrimh amach uimhir agus éifeacht iomlán na bpáipéirí atá i ngach fo-bheart de pháipéirí ionaistrithe agus i bhfo-bheart na bpáipéirí neamh-ionaistrithe.

(c) In either of the cases referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) in this sub-section, the Returning Officer shall ascertain the number of papers and their total value in each subparcel of transferable papers and in the sub-parcel of non-transferable papers.

(3) Más có-ionann an fuighleach, no más mó é ná éifeacht iomlán na bpáipéirí atá i bhfo-bheartanna na bpáipéirí ionaistrithe, aistreoidh an Ceann Comhrimh gach fo-bheart de pháipéirí ion-aistrithe go dtí an t iarrthóir leanúnach atá teasbeánta ortha ag an vótálaí mar a chéad rogha eile ar fáil, agus sé éifeacht gach páipéir le linn aistrithe ná an éifeacht do bhí leis nuair do tugadh é don iarrthóir go bhfuiltear ag aistriú a fhuighligh.

(3) If the surplus is equal to or greater than the total value of the papers in the sub-parcels of transferable papers the Returning Officer shall transfer each sub-parcel of transferable papers to the continuing candidate indicated thereon as the voter's next available preference, each paper being transferred at the value at which it was received by the candidate whose surplus is being transferred.

Nuair is mó an fuighleach ná éifeacht iomlán fo-bheart na bpáipéar ion-aistrithe, tuigfear go bhfuil deire le brí na bpáipéar neamh-ionaistrithe, agus cuirfear i leataoibh iad ar éifeacht a bheidh co-ionann leis an difríocht atá idír an fuighleach agus éifeacht fhobheart na bpáipéar ion-aistrithe.

When the surplus is greater than the total value of the sub-parcels of transferable papers the non-transferable papers shall be set aside as not effective, at a value which is equal to the difference between the surplus and the value of the subparcels of transferable papers.

(4) Más lú an fuighleach ná éifeacht iomlán na bpáipéar ionaistrithe, aistreoidh an Ceann Comhrimh gach páipéar sa bhfobheart san de pháipéirí ion-aistrithe go dtí an t-iarrthóir leanúnach atá teasbeánta ortha ag an vótálaí mar a chéad rogha eile ar fáil, agus gheobhfar amach cad is éifeacht gach páipéir aistreofar, ach ranna do dhéanamh den bhfuighleach le huimhir iomlán na bpáipéar ionaistrithe agus gan na hiarmhair bhriste fhanann do bhac, ach amháin go ndéanfar nóta ar Leathán an Tora i dtaobh an chailliúint éifeachta do thárla dá dheascaibh.

(4) If the surplus is less than the total value of the transferable papers, the Returning Officer shall transfer each paper in such subparcel of transferable papers to the continuing candidate indicated thereon as the voter's next available preference, and the value at which each paper shall be transferred shall be ascertained by dividing the surplus by the total number of transferable papers, fractional remainders being disregarded, except that the consequential loss of value shall be noted on the Result Sheet.

(5) Fuighleach a thárluíonn ar dheire aon chomhrimh, roinnfear é sara roinnfear fuighleach a thárlóidh ag comhreamh 'na dhiaidh.

(5) A surplus which arises on the completion of any count shall be dealt with before a surplus which may arise at a subsequent count.

Nuair a thárluíonn dhá fhuighleach no níos mó de bharr an chomhrimh chéanna, sé an ceann is mó a roinnfear ar dtúis agus roinnfear na cinn eile in órdú a méide.

When two or more surpluses arise out of the same count the largest shall be first dealt with and the others shall be dealt with in the order of their magnitude.

Más có-ionam an fuighleach ag beirt no ag níos mó iarrthóirí de bharr an chomhrimh chéanna, roinnfear ar dtúis fuighleach an iarrthóra gur cuireadh an éifeacht is mó 'na leith ag an gcomhreamh ba thúisce nár chó-ionann na héifeachtaí do cuireadh i leith na n-iarrthóirí seo.

If two or more candidates have an equal surplus arising out of the same count, the surplus of the candidate credited with the greatest value at the earliest count at which the values credited to these candidates were unequal shall be first dealt with.

Nuair is có-ionnann na héifeachtaí do cuireadh i leith na n-iarrthóirí sin ag gach comhreamh, roinnfidh an Ceann Comhrimh ar dtúis fuighleach an iarrthóra gur breacadh san órdú rogha gurb é do fuair an uimhir bá mhó de chéad roghanna.

Where the values credited to such candidates were equal at all counts, the Returning Officer shall deal first with the surplus of the candidate recorded in the Order of Preferences as having received the greatest number of first preferences.

9. (1) Má thárluíonn ar dheire aon chomhrimh, ná fuil fuighleach ag aon iarrthóir agus go bhfuil folúntas amháin no níos mó le líona, déanfaidh an Ceann Comhrimh an t-iarrthóir go bhfuil an éifeacht is lú 'na leith do chur as agus a pháipéirí d'aistriú go dtí an t-iarrthóir leanúnach no na hiarrthóirí leanúnacha atá teasbeánta ag an vótálaí mar a chéad rogha eile ar fáil ar na páipéirí vótála atá i mbeart no i bhfo-bheartanna an iarrthóra do cuireadh as, agus cuirfe sé éifeacht na bpáipéirí aistrithe i leith an iarrthóra leanúnaigh no ma n-iarrthóirí leanúnacha.

9. (1) If at the end of any count no candidate has a surplus and one or more vacancies remain unfilled, the Returning Officer shall exclude the candidate credited with the lowest value and shall transfer his papers to the continuing candidate or candidates indicated on the voting papers in the parcel or sub-parcels of the excluded candidate as the voter's next available preference, and shall credit the continuing candidate or candidates with the value of the papers transferred.

(2) (a) Aistreofar ar dtúis an beart 'na bhfuil bun-vótanna, agus is í éifeacht aistrithe gach páipéir ná míle.

(2) (a) the parcel containing original votes shall first be transferred, the transfer value of each paper being one thousand.

(b) Aistreofar ansan na fo-bheartanna 'na bhfuil vótanna aistrithe san órdú agus ar an éifeacht gur tugadh iad don iarrthóir do cuireadh as.

(b) The sub-parcels containing transferred votes shall then be transferred in the order in which and at the value of which the excluded candidate obtained them.

(c) Chun a socrú pe'ca iarrthóir leanúnach iarrthóir no nách ea tuigfear gur comhreamh fé leith aistriú gach birt no fo-bhirt.

(c) For the purpose of determining whether a candidate is a continuing candidate the transfer of each parcel or sub-parcel shall be regarded as a separate count.

(3) Le linn gach beart no fo-bheart d'aistriú, déanfar fo-bheart fé leith de sna páipéirí neamh-ionaistrithe, agus cuirfear iad san i leataoibh ar an éifeacht ar ar tugadh iad don iarrthóir do cuireadh as.

(3) In the transfer of each parcel or sub-parcel a separate sub-parcel shall be made of the non-transferable papers which shall be set aside at the value at which the excluded candidates obtained them.

(4) Má thárluíonn, nuair is gá iarrthóir do chur as fén Riail seo, gurb é an éifeacht chéanna atá i leith beirte no níos mó iarrthóirí agus gurb iad is lú, féachfar chun iomláin éifeachta na mbun-vótanna do cuireadh i leith gach iarrthóra dhíobh san, agus is é an t-iarrthóir ag a bhfuil an éifeacht iomlán is lú a cuirfear as, agus nuair is có-ionann na héifeachtaí iomlána, féachfar chun na n-éifeachtaí iomlána do cuireadh i leith na n-iarrthóirí seo ag an gcomhreamh is túisce nár chó-ionann a n-éifeachtaí, agus is é an t-iarrthóir ag a raibh an éifeacht is lú ag an gcomhreamh san a cuirfear as.

(4) If, when a candidate has to be excluded under this Rule, two or more candidates are each credited with the same value and are lowest, regard shall be had to the total value of original votes credited to each of those candidates, and the candidate with the smallest total value shall be excluded, and where the total values are equal, regard shall be had to the total value credited to those candidates at the earliest count at which they had unequal values, and the candidate with the smallest value at that count shall be excluded.

Má thárluíonn do bheirt no do níos mó iarrthóirí bheith ar deire agus gurb é an éifeacht chéanna do cuireadh i leith gach duine aca, ag gach comhreamh, déanfaidh an Ceann Comhrimh an t-iarrthóir gur breacadh san órdú rogha go bhfuair sé an uimhir ba lú de chéad roghanna do chur as.

If two or more candidates are lowest and are each credited with the same value at all counts, the Returning Officer shall exclude the candidate recorded on the Order of Preferences as having received the smallest number of First Preferences.

10. Pé uair a déanfar aon aistriú fé aon cheann de sna Rialacha roimhe seo, cuirfear gach fo-bheart de pháipéirí aistreofar ar bharr an bhirt no an fho-bhirt, má bhíonn ann, de pháipéirí an iarrthóra gur chuige a déanfar an t-aistriú, agus cuirfear éifeacht a gheobhfar amach do réir na Rialacha so i leith an iarrthóra san.

10. Whenever any transfer is made under any of these preceding Rules, each sub-parcel of papers transferred shall be placed on top of the parcel or sub-parcel, if any, of papers of the candidate to whom the transfer is made, and that candidate shall be credited with the value ascertained in pursuance of these Rules.

11. (1) Má thárluíonn ar dheire aon chomhrimh gur có-ionann na hiarrthóirí roghnuithe agus uimhir na bhfolúntas atá le líona, ní déanfar aon aistriú eile.

11. (1) If at the end of any count the number of selected candidates is equal to the number of vacancies to be filled no further transfers shall be made.

(2) (a) Nuair is có-ionann uimhir na n-iarrthóirí leanúnacha agus uimhir na bhfolúntas atá gan líona, tuigfear ansan go bhfuil na hiarrthóirí leanúnacha roghnuithe.

(2) (a) When the number of continuing candidates is equal to the number of vacancies remaining unfilled, the continuing candidates shall thereupon be deemed to be selected.

(b) Nuair ná fuil ach folúntas amháin gan líona agus gur mó an éifeacht atá curtha i leith iarrthóra leanúnaigh amháin ná iomlán na n-éifeachtaí atá curtha i leith na n-iarrthóirí leanúnacha eile, mar aon le haon fhuighleach nár haistríodh, tuigfear ansan an t-iarrthóir sin do bheith roghnuithe.

(b) When only one vacancy remains unfilled and the value credited to some one continuing candidate exceeds the total of the values credited to the other continuing candidates, together with any surplus not transferred, that candidate shall thereupon be deemed to be selected.

(3) Nuair is féidir na folúntaisí deireanacha do líona fén Riail seo, ní déanfar aon aistriú eile.

(3) When the last vacancies can be filled under this Rule, no further transfer shall be made.

12. Breacfidh an Ceann Comhrimh iomlán na n-éifeachtaí a cuirfear i leith gach iarrthóra ar dheire gach comhrimh. Beidh sa bhreaca san—

12. The Returning Officer shall record the total of the values credited to each candidate at the end of every count. Such record shall include—

(i) Eifeacht na bpáipéar neamhionaistrithe go bhfuil deire le n-a mbrí; agus

(i) The value of the non-transferable papers not effective; and

(ii) An chailliúint éifeachta toisc gan iarmhair do chomhreamh agus féadfaidh an breaca san bheith do réir na fuirme atá i gCuid II. den Sceideal so, no i bhfuirm den tsórt chéanna.

(ii) The loss of value owing to disregard of fractions, and may be in accordance with the form set out in Part II. of this Schedule, or in a form to the like effect.

13. Tuigfear na hiarrthóirí do bheith roghnuithe san órdu inar haistríodh a bhfuighligh.

13. The candidates shall be deemed to have been selected in the order in which their surpluses were transferred.

Iarrthóir go gcuirfear ina leith ar dheire chómhrimh éifeach atá díreach có-ionann leis an quota, tuigfear gur aige a bheidh an fuighleach is lú ag an gcomhreamh san chun críche na Rialach so.

A candidate credited at the end of a count with a value exactly equal to the quota shall be regarded as having the smallest surplus at that count for the purposes of this Rule.

Nuair a tuigfear beirt no nios mo d'iarrthóirí bheith roghnuithe fé Riail 11 (2) (a) tuigfear na hiarrthóirí sin do bheith roghnuithe do réir órdú na n-éifeachtaí do cuireadh ina leith fé seach ag an staid sin, an t-iarrthóir gur cuireadh an éifeacht ba mhó 'na leith ag an staid sin, tuigfear é bheith roghnuithe ar dtúis imeasc na n-iarrthóirí sin agus mar sin de, agus má cuirtear éifeachtaí có-ionannacha i leith beirte no níos mó d'iarrthóirí ag an staid sin, gheobhfar amach órdú roghnúcháin a leithéidí d'iarrthóirí có-ionannacha ar an gcuma chéanna do gheobhfaí amach órdú a leithéidí d'iarrthóirí do chur as fé Riall 9 (4), leis an difríocht so, gurb iad a tuigfear bheith roghnuithe ar dtúis imeasc na n-iarrthóirí có-ionannacha san ná na hiarrthóirí is déanaí do cuirfí as fén Riail sin, agus gurb é an t-iarrthóir is túisce do cuirfí as an t-iarrthóir is déanaí a tuigfear bheith roghnuithe.

When two or more candidates are deemed to have been selected under Rule 11 (2) (a) such candidates shall be deemed to have been selected in the order of values credited to them respectively at that stage, the candidate credited at that stage with the greatest value being deemed to have been the first selected of such candidates, and so on, and if two or more candidates are credited with equal values at that stage the order of selection of such equal candidates shall be ascertained in the same way as the order of exclusion of such candidates would be ascertained under Rule 9 (4), with the difference that the candidates who would be the last to be excluded under that Rule shall be deemed to have been the first selected of such equal candidates, and the candidate who would have been the first to be excluded shall be deemed to have been the last selected.
