The five seats for the Mayo constituency have been filled with the election of Keira Keogh and Paul Lawless who filled the final two seats.

The results of the eleventh and final count of the 2024 General Election saw the election of Westport-based Fine Gael candidate Keira Keogh and Aontú's Paul Lawless to Dáíl Éireann.

They join Rose Conway-Walsh (SF), Alan Dillon (FG) and Dara Calleary (FF) as the five TDs who will represent Mayo in the 34th Dáíl.

The distribution of Mark Duffy's 7,735 votes following his elimination saw Keogh exceed the quota of 11,812 by 663 votes to deem her elected.

Aontú's Paul Lawless received 1,129 votes to put him on 9,506 while Independent Patsy O'Brien received 295 votes which gave him a total of 8,258. As a result O'Brien was eliminated and Lawless was elected without reaching the quota.
