Stage 9: Of the 2095 votes transferred to Ramsey from Ferguson, 1923 transferred to de Brún (enough to elect her) and 123 to Maskey, thus 2046 (97.66%) to the other SF candidates; 24 (1.15%) to Attwood (SDLP) and none to McGimpsey (UUP) with 25 (1.19%) non-transferable.
Stage 10: Of the 2046 votes transferred to de Brún from Ramsey (and Ferguson), 1894 (92.57%) transferred to Maskey (SF); 11 (0.54%) to Attwood (SDLP); and none to McGimpsey (UUP) with 141 (6.89%) non-transferable.
The failure of even one Unionist candidate to win a seat was not all that surprising given recent voting patterns. A strong result for Sinn Féin in their strongest constituency.
Full 1998 results for each seat: East Belfast | North Belfast | South Belfast | West Belfast | East Antrim | North Antrim | South Antrim | North Down | South Down | Fermanagh and South Tyrone | Foyle | Lagan Valley | East Londonderry | Mid Ulster | Newry and Armagh | Strangford | West Tyrone | Upper Bann
