Stage 2: Of Robinson's 8548 votes, 4142 went to Ennis and 3791 to Shannon, thus 7933 (92.8%) to her DUP running-mates; 150 went to McNarry and 133 to Little, thus 283 (3.3%) to the UUP; 115 (1.3%) to Wilson (NIUP); 61 (0.7%) to Kieran McCarthy (Alliance); 51 (0.6%) to Neill (PUP); 34 (0.4%) to Orr (Green); 9 (0.7%) to Boyle (SDLP); 4 (0.05%) to Danny McCarthy (Ind); and 3 (0.04%) to Kennedy (SF) with 55 (0.6%) non-transferable.

Stage 3: Of the 4142 votes transferred from Robinson to Ennis, 987 (18.5%) transferred to Wilson (NIUP); 540 went to Little and 308 to McNarry, thus 848 (15.9%) to the UUP; 166 (3.1%) to Neill (PUP); 75 (1.4%) to Kieran McCathy (Alliance); 65 (1.2%) to Orr (Green); 41 (0.8%) to Danny McCarthy (Ind); 4 (0.1%) to Kennedy (SF); and 2 (0.04%) to Boyle (SDLP) with 1954 (36.7%) non-transferable.

Stage 4: Of the 3791 votes transferred from Robinson to Shannon, 675 went to Little and 408 to McNarry, thus 183 (20.3%) to the UUP; 855 (16.1%) to Wilson (NIUP); 147 (2.8%) to Neill (PUP); 135 (2.5%) to Kieran McCarthy (Alliance); 64 (1.2%) to Orr (Green); 42 (0.8%) to Danny McCarthy (Ind); 18 (0.3%) to Boyle (SDLP); and 10 (0.2%) to Kennedy (SF) with 1437 (27.0%) non-transferable.

Stage 5: Of Lord Kilclooney's 5658 votes, 3642 transferred to Little and 1504 to McNarry, thus 5146 (96.7%) to his UUP running-mates; 186 (3.5%) to Kieran McCarthy (Alliance); 78 (1.5%) to Boyle (SDLP); 63 (1.2%) to Wilson (NIUP); 56 (1.1%) to Neill (PUP); 35 (0.7%) to Danny McCarthy (Ind); 17 (0.3%) to Orr (Green); and 12 (0.2%) to Kennedy (SF) with 65 (1.2%) non-transferable.

Stage 11: There are two mathematical possibilities for the 1726 votes transferred from Little to McNarry. I think it more likely that 353 (20.5%) went to McCarthy (Alliance) and 107 (6.2%) to Boyle (SDLP) with 1266 (73.3%) non-transferable. It is also possible that 706 (40.9%) went to McCarthy (Alliance) and 214 (12.4%) to Boyle (SDLP) with 806 (46.7%) non-transferable.
