Stage 2: Of Deeny's 6158 votes, 2440 transferred to Byrne and 469 to McMenamin, thus 2909 (47.2%) to the SDLP; 1575 went to McElduff and 233 to McLahon, thus 1808 (29.4%) to SF; 322 went to Hussey and 204 to Wilson, thus 526 (8.5%) to the UUP; 249 (4.0%) went to Alexander (Alliance); 160 went to Buchanan and 68 to Reaney, thus 227 (3.7%) to the DUP; and 19 (0.3%) to Reid (PUP). (NB that Deeny's transfers to the SDLP, SF and the DUP very much favoured the Omagh-based candidates rather than the Strabane-based ones. For the UUP, both Hussey and Wilson live in Omagh though Hussey is a councillor for Strabane.)

Stage 4: Of Doherty's 6019 votes, 2944 went to McElduff and 1990 to McMahon, thus 4934 (82.0%) to the other SF candidates; 295 went to Byrne and 100 to McMenamin, thus 395 (6.6%) to the SDLP; 14 (0.2%) went to Hussey (UUP); and 3 (0.05%) to Reaney (DUP) with 670 (11.1%) non-transferable. (NB that Dohety's suplus was only 57; if there had been less than 319 non-transferable votes, and more then 5700 transferable, the fractional value of each vote would have been less than 0.01 and they would have been lost.)

* in the official results sheet published by the Electoral Office the value of this surplus is incorrectly given as 1176.99.

Stage 7: Of the 2245 votes transferred from Reaney to Buchanan, 1647 (73.4%) transferred on to Hussey (UUP); 16 went to McMenamin and 15 to Byrne, thus 31 (1.4%) to the SDLP; and none at all went to the two continuing SF candidates, with 567 (25.3%) non-transferable.

Stage 8: Of the 1647 votes transferred from Reaney to Buchanan and then to Hussey, 252 went on to Byrne and 197 to McMenamin, thus 449 (27.3%) to the SDLP; none at all went to the two continuing SF candidates; and 1198 (72.7%) were non-transferable.
