  Irish premier Simon Harris has said Fine Gael will gain seats in the General Election despite a further fragmentation of Irish politics. Fine Gael won 35 seats in the 2020 election, but 18 of those TDs did not seek re-election in Friday's poll.


The article from AOL discusses the recent Irish local and European elections where Fine Gael, led by Simon Harris, is projected to gain seats, potentially increasing their representation by up to 10 seats in the local councils. This performance is seen as a positive sign for Fine Gael, especially with the upcoming general election. The elections also saw a significant shift with Sinn Féin experiencing a disappointing turnout, failing to meet expectations set by their previous surge in popularity. Meanwhile, Fianna Fáil is expected to maintain its position as the largest party in local government. The article also touches on the broader political implications, including the performance of independent candidates and smaller parties, and the potential impact on the political landscape ahead of the general election.
