10pm RTE exit poll
SF and FG almost level on 21.1% and 21%, with FF just behind on 19.5%
Sinn Féin and Fine Gael are almost level on 21.1% and 21%, with Fianna Fáil on 19.5%, according to the RTÉ, Irish Times, TG4, Trinity College Dublin Exit Poll was carried out by Ipsos B&A. The margin of error is 1.4%.

A new exit poll suggests that Fine Gael and Sinn Féin are virtually tied when it comes to first preference votes with Fianna Fáil slightly further back, making the result of General Election 2024 too close to call.
It indicates Green Party first preference support stands at 4%; Labour at 5%; the Social Democrats at 5.8%; People Before Profit-Solidarity at 3.1%; and Independents at 12.7%, Independent Ireland 2.2% with others on 1.9%.
"Re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic" springs to mind ::fds Can't imagine FF or FG is ruthless enough to ditch the other for SF coalition so only question is who'll be the sacrificial lamb making up the numbers.

RTÉ's Paul Cunningham says the Exit Poll suggests that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, if they were to form a coalition, would need two parties to go into government with them.
He added that the Exit Poll also suggests that there is no route to a left government without Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael.

I see UK Parliament have voted in Favour of euthanasia .Irish Bill Introduced by Gino Kenny going through the Dail .So will we be like the 1960s with Irish people going to Britain for Abortions now thinking of Going to Britain for End of Life Care .The Only Issue that I considered when I voted .Did any other party have any issue that they championed .Housing .Hospitals Immigration seemed to be all the rest were pushing .Any wonder the turnout was so low .

There isn't really that much difference between them all which is probably a good thing.No wonder so many people want to live here from other parts of the world.

Look at how stable things are .Would you want SF in Government ?A lot of people who vote Independent know the people they vote for will have no impact ,they just want to reduce the power of the Big two .

I see what you mean……

Yeah!…but SF should have got rid of Mary Lou with her swinging door and reverse policies.Doherty should have got the reins and Mary could be sniped at.Ger Badams would not let her take the fall? :))

Passed first reading. Still has to go to committee and pass amended reading and pass House of Lords to become law.

Who will be in next government FF/Fg with a few indies ? more good jobs for the boys and a few roads for the indies .Or go with the Soc Dems give them a minister and a junior but wipe them out for next time .IF Mick has his choice I think go with Labour or Soc Dems make sure there is no united left next election .

Dublin central always held a labour seat with Costello for many years, so sherlock should keep it for a while

Hopefully! It's great to see a new generation of both Labour and SD TDs emerge... or maybe they just look like youngsters 'cos I'm just getting very old! Anywaysanall, long may it last.

I remember when I was a member of the Connolly Youth in the mid 70 s Labour Leader Brendan Corish was the only elected member with a Third Level education .Todays Socialists are all Professional career driven Politicians not really concerned with Economics just Sociological Change Gay rights Abortion ,Divorce .Trans.Immigration .Most of them couldnt explain what a tracker mortgage is .GDP or GNP .

I think that the majority of the people who voted,should be ashamed of themselves.Maybe some of the votes were rigged.Surprised that McEntee gets higher first count .Up from 7k to 10k?….Roddy gettin in in the darkness of night?The Prime Minister doubling his vote?Hutch loosing on last count?….I dont think you can prove any rigging,especially when the Gardai were taken off ballot box guarding through the night? C:-)

The Labour cunts are mostly teachers who work half the year, and do nixers the rest. When elected the old job is kept open for them.

Looks like a lifetime of work and commitment to worthwhile cause to me, a lot more than I can say for myself, and being a politician must be a nightmare of a life. Look at the price Harris paid for a lapse of patience, presumeably after a long day's campaigning..

I dunno…Some people call getting up from a seat working.Politicians get very well paid with huge pensions and can retire from that lifestyle if they want to.I suppose Labour is not a working class movement any more since most of the industrial jobs went from the strikes .

You don't think that people who work are working class, regardless of occupation?

Teaching is a vocation, I guess. Probably falls somewhere between a working class trade and a middle class profession on that basis... maybe upper working class with lower working class wages?
