Ireland Votes 2007: Quirks of Single Tranferable Vote

In the Single Transferable Vote system there is a certain quota of votes that you need to be elected. Now in the Clare constituency, they are into their 4th count, for the 4 seats that are up for grabs. But so far, nobody has made it over the quota for that seat of 11,278. One candidate is within 5 votes of being elected, but hasn't made it yet.
