Irish General Election Results Show Closely Fought Contest With Three Parties in Virtual Dead Heat

Ireland is holding its general election on Friday, November 28, with voters casting their ballots to choose representatives for the 34th Dáil. The election comes after a three-week campaign period, and partial results are expected on Saturday morning, with a final result potentially taking several days to determine due to the country's proportional representation system. The three main parties involved are the incumbent coalition partners Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil, and opposition party Sinn Féin.
