Fine Gael is poised to head the then government and secure its greatest choice answer considering the union parties in the outgoing government suffered an electoral meltdown.
Fine Gael has open 70 seats of the 153 seats overflowing so far. Labour is on 35 Fianna Fáil 18, Sinn Féin 13, ULA four and Independents 13. There are in the past few minutes 13 seats missing to be overflowing in four constituencies.
Fine Gael is likely to fall brief of an overall majority in the 166-seat Dáil.
For Fianna Fáil, the answer is its most terrible since the foundation of the individual, while the Labour Party has enjoyed its greatest answer in a all-purpose choice to year. Sein Féin looks adjust to triple its quantity of TDs, while the Green Party has lost all six of its seats.
