She says she has been overwhelmed by the response to her campaign and had there been a sixth seat, she may have stood a chance.
She said today had been "good craic" with all the other candidates and if only that could continue when they all got into Stormont.

NI Assembly election
Former director of communications at NI Executive, Stephen Grimason, says Sinn Féin are just under 1,200 votes short of the DUP in the popular vote.
Fionnuala O'Connor says there is no longer a 'comfortable' gap between the two big parties.
Alex Kane says if the number of unionists in the assembly falls below 50% it would be a physiological blow.
