	Fermanagh and South Tyrone 1998
		The constituency lost the Coalisland area to Mid Ulster in the 1995 revision; this has converted it from a Nationalist majority seat (often won by Unionists if the Nationalist votes were divided) to a much more even split.
		Stage 8: Of the 3182 votes transferred to McHugh from Treanor, 2925 (91.92%) went to Gildernew (SF); 112 (3.52%) to Mullen (SDLP); 3 (0.09%) to Morrow (DUP); 2 (0.06%) to Dixon (UKUP); 1 to Carson and none to Foster, thus 1 (0.03%) to the UUP with 139 (4.37%) non-transferable.
		Stage 10: of the 1607 votes transferred to Gildernew from Mullen, 516 probably transferred further (though mathematically it could have been 1032).
