Flash: Nervous celebrations as counting winds down for night

The first day of counting in the 26 County general election has concluded, but with every party celebrating bar the Greens and the far right, the outcome remains very uncertain.

With 31 seats filled and 41 out of 43 constituencies declaring a first count, the result will be very close between the three main parties.

The Sinn Féin result at about 19% of the vote share, marked a strong recovery from the recent local elections when their vote fell to 11.8%, although short of the 24.5% the secured in the last general election almost five years ago.

Meanwhile, the vote share of both Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael has reached its lowest ever share of just over 40%, and the parties will again need the support of others if they are to again put together a right-wing government.

Speaking to the media at the RDS count centre in Dublin, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said the “two party politics” of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael had been “consigned to the dustbin of history”.

She remains optimistic she can form a government. She told journalists at the Dublin count that her party “will look at all the options on the table”, but added she doesn’t “want to see the return of the outgoing government”.

She says that she will first look at options with who Sinn Féin share “the politics of change.”

Both Fine Gael leader Simon Harris and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin have expressed their optimism that they will be part of any government formed in the coming weeks, although they look set to fall short of an overall majority in the Dáil.

Ahead of his re-election, Simon Harris said the “people of Ireland have now spoken. We now have to work out exactly what they have said, and that is going to take a little bit of time.”

Harris described the Sinn Féin vote as “pretty significantly down”, the Fianna Fail vote as “marginally down” and the Fine Gael vote as “static” compared with the 2020 result.

He said it was “a very close, a very competitive election” and that “we haven’t seen a Sinn Féin surge or anything like it”.

He acknowledged that it was “a very difficult day” for the outgoing coalition partners in the Green Party.

“Definitely, politics in Ireland has gotten much more fragmented,” he said.

Senior Green Party figures are in losing fights to retain their seats, including leader Roderic O’Gorman, minister Catherine Martin and junior minister Ossian Smyth, while Fianna Fáil minister Stephen Donnelly is likely to lose his seat in Wicklow.

A good day for the Social Democrats looks to be on the cards, although none of their candidates have yet been deemed elected. Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín was reelected in his Meath West constituency, but his hopes of increasing that number also remain uncertain.

Meanwhile, in Dublin Central, the strangest result of the count could be the election of alleged crime boss Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch. His election will depend on transfers, some of which have already arrived in the form of the largest bundle from the surplus of Mary Lou McDonald, and following the elimination of left-wing activist Clare Daly.

It is the country’s most ethnically diverse constituency and one of its most impoverished. A year ago, it was wracked by racist rioting that polarised the community. But overall, it was a terrible day for candidates on the far right, with almost all candidates in the new nationalist-sounding parties losing their deposit.

Joined by the party leader in the North, Michelle O’Neill, Ms McDonald celebrated her victory to loud cheers at the RDS centre.

The leader of Sinn Féin has said that this election confirms that her party has “altered the political landscape”.

“Not so long ago, the old traditional establishment parties monopolised not just government but also opposition, that’s changed now, and I think this election is confirmation of that,” Mary Lou McDonald said.

Ms McDonald, who was re-elected in Dublin Central on the third count after topping the poll there, said she will always want to do better, to have more votes, and to win more seats.

She said that her first course of action will be to talk to other parties who are also advocating for change in government and to get their ideas on how they will “maximise impact”.

“The idea of five more years of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil is not in my strong opinion, a good outcome for our society,” she said.

“It was ironic on election day that we saw again record heartbreaking homeless figures again, as people were going out to vote. I don’t think our society can actually endure another five years of that failure and that chaos.”

Ms McDonald also thanked everyone who voted for her party.

“You have given us again a powerful and a strong mandate, and we understand the trust that you have placed in us to make life better for you and we are determined to do just that,” she said.

She said that their candidates had an “incredible performance” across the State over a short number of weeks.

“We have achieved a result that many people who few weeks ago would have thought impossible. So, thank you to every single person who voted for us.”
