  • With counting after Friday's election still in the relatively early stages - after an exit poll that showed the main three parties effectively neck-and-neck - there is some way to go before the final picture emerges and the options for government formation crystalise.

The article from RTE discusses the ongoing developments in the Irish political landscape as the country approaches the next general election. It highlights that while the election date remains uncertain, political parties are actively preparing, with Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, and Sinn Féin all engaging in strategic planning and candidate selection. The piece notes the potential for a shift in voter preferences, with Sinn Féin gaining ground in recent polls, although the final election picture is still unclear due to various factors including the possibility of a snap election, the impact of recent controversies, and the performance of smaller parties and independents. Additionally, the article touches on the influence of current government performance, economic conditions, and public sentiment on housing and health issues, which could significantly sway the election outcome.
