Ireland has a new Dáil after three long days of counting in the general election finished late on Monday night.

Fianna Fáil was the clear winner of the election, securing 48 of the Dáil’s 174 seats.

Sinn Féin took 39 seats and Fine Gael 38.

Labour and the Social Democrats both won 11 seats; People Before Profit-Solidarity took three; Aontú secured two; and the Green Party retained only one of its 12 seats. Independent Ireland took four seats. Independents and others accounted for 16 seats.

The new Dáil will see 174 TDs representing 43 constituencies, up from the previous 160 TDs in 39 constituencies.

This means every TD is representing an average of 29,593 people, down from the previous 32,182.

The return of a Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael-led coalition is now highly likely.

However, their combined seat total of 86 leaves them just short of the 88 needed for a majority in the Dáil.

The two parties could look to strike a deal with one of the smaller centre-left parties, such as the Social Democrats or Labour, or they could secure the support of several Independent TDs.

The Social Democrats and Labour both appear cautious about the prospect of an alliance with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.

They will no doubt be mindful of the experience of the previous junior partner in government, the Green Party, which was nearly wiped out in the election.

Sinn Féin appears to currently have no realistic route to government, given Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s ongoing refusal to share power with the party.

Fianna Fáil secured the most first preference votes in Friday’s election, taking 21.9 per cent to Fine Gael’s 20.8 per cent. Sinn Féin came in third on 19 per cent.

While Sinn Féin’s vote share represented a marked improvement on its disappointing showing in June’s local elections in Ireland, it is still significantly down on the 24.5 per cent poll-topping share it secured in the 2020 general election.

The final breakdown of first preferences also flipped the result of Friday night’s exit poll, which suggested Sinn Féin was in front on 21.1 per cent, with Fine Gael on 21 per cent and Fianna Fáil on 19.5 per cent.
