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

ai generated text

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.

    Micheál Martin
    Fianna Fail
    1. The good news for us in Fianna Fáil is - notwithstanding that competition from multiple parties and independents - we are competitive in every single constituency.
  2. IE
    Simon Harris
    Fine Gael
    1. As I've been saying for many weeks, in any Irish election it's quite straightforward to pick where the first or second or maybe even where the third seat might go in a constituency but trying to call the last or the second last seat is something that even Mystic Meg can struggle with.
  3. IE
    Mary Lou McDonald
    Sinn Féin
    1. Two-party politics is now gone. It's consigned to the dustbin of history, and that in itself is very significant.
  4. IE
    Matt Carthy
    Sinn Féin
    1. When you consider where we would have been coming out of the local and European elections, I have to say it's a phenomenal result.
  5. IE
    Donagh Humphreys
    1. We do recall that in 2020 the exit poll actually undershot Sinn Féin to the tune of 2%-plus. So if that was to transpire tomorrow morning, there is every chance that Sinn Féin will emerge from these elections as the largest political party.

    1. But they are doing particularly well this time and it's a manifestation of the fact that people feel that the established parties aren't representing their views.

    1. That's an unusual feature, because in most other European democracies, what you tend to find is the centrist parties are very weak.
