It looks like the northern Ireland Alliance party, a proposed nationalist and non-sectarian party, has made gains. Also described as nationalist, the Social Democratic and Labour party has won seats.
Other news is success for John Finucane, son of Patrick Finucane, a lawyer specialising in human rights who was shot to death by paramilitaries in front of his family in February 1989. Many believe Sinn Fein are no longer nationalist but news is former unionists are voting for Sinn Fein.
