The voting was held on Friday, 11 June 2004. The election coincided with the 2004 local elections. The election was conducted under the single transferable vote. This was the first election that Fine Gael won more seats than Fianna Fáil, who had won most seats at every election from 1979. Constituency revision Since the 1999 European Parliament election, Ireland's entitlement had fallen from 15 seats to 13 seats due to European Union expansion and some constituencies boundaries and names were changed. Munster constituency lost County Clare and was reduced from 4 seats to 3 and renamed South Connacht–Ulster gained County Clare and was renamed North-West Leinster had no boundary changes but was reduced from 4 seats to 3 and renamed East Dublin was unchanged Results The election was organised by city/county council area, the basis for the local elections being held simultaneously. Voters received different-coloured ballot papers for the European election, city/county council election, and a constitutional referendum, all of which went into the same ballot box and were separated by colour once the boxes arrived at the count centre for the city/county. Not all voters received all ballots as the franchises differ. The European ballots were all counted in one city/county, necessitating a second transportation of the separated ballots from the other city/county centres. For example, the East ballots were counted in Navan, County Meath.Murphy Tom 91,000 people are eligible to vote https://www.independent.ie/regionals/wicklowpeople/news/91000-people-are-eligible-to-vote-27828037.html 19 October 2018 Wicklow People 10 June 2004 en Fianna Fáil 524504 −9.1 4 −2 Fine Gael 494412 +3.2 5 +1 Sinn Féin 197715 +4.8 1 +1 Labour Party 188132 +1.8 1 0 Green Party 76917 −2.4 0 −2 Socialist Party 23218 +0.5 0 0 Independent 275870 +1.2 2 0 −2 60567 3119484 MEPs elected List of members of the European Parliament for Ireland, 2004–2009 Constituency NamePartyEP group Dublin Gay Mitchell Fine Gael European People's Party–European Democrats Eoin Ryan Fianna Fáil Union for Europe of the Nations Mary Lou McDonald Sinn Féin European United Left–Nordic Green Left Proinsias De Rossa Labour Party (Ireland) Party of European Socialists East Mairead McGuinness Fine Gael European People's Party–European Democrats Avril Doyle Fine Gael European People's Party–European Democrats Liam Aylward Fianna Fáil Union for Europe of the Nations North-West Marian Harkin Independent politician (Ireland) Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe group Seán Ó Neachtain Fianna Fáil Union for Europe of the Nations Jim Higgins Fine Gael European People's Party–European Democrats South Brian Crowley Fianna Fáil Union for Europe of the Nations Simon Coveney Fine Gael European People's Party–European Democrats Kathy Sinnott Independent politician (Ireland) Independence/Democracy Voting details thumb|right|200px|2004–2009 European Parliament Ireland constituencies ConstituencyElectorateTurnoutSpoiltValid PollQuotaSeatsCandidatesDublin821,723435,136 (52.9%)13,239 (3.0%)421,897 84,380412East806,598471,895 (58.5%)18,717 (3.9%)453,178 113,295313North-West688,804435,910 (63.3%)14,487 (3.3%)421,423 105,35639South802,359498,394 (62.1%)14,124 (2.8%)484,270 121,068310Total3,119,4841,841,335 (59.0%)60,567 (3.3%)1,780,768— 1344 Seats ConstituencyAreaSeatsPop.per SeatDublinCounty Dublin41.1m275kEastLeinster less County Dublin31m333kSouthMunster less County Clare31m333kNorth-WestConnacht plus counties Cavan, Donegal, Monaghan, Clare3800k270kTotal133.9m300k See also List of members of the European Parliament for Ireland, 2004–2009 – List ordered by constituency For the Northern Ireland European Parliament elections, see 2004 UK European Parliament election.
