Early exit polls from Ireland's recent election suggest that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are likely to form a close majority in the Dáil, with other parties like Labour, Social Democrats, and Greens facing reduced influence. The poll also highlights voter dissatisfaction with the government's climate change policies.
Counting has begun at Nemo Rangers GAA club in Cork following the nationwide election. Early exit poll trends suggest Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil will likely form a close majority in the Dáil , leaving other parties such as Labour , the Social Democrats , and the Green Party with less influence. There is uncertainty about the exact seat distribution but it's possible that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil could secure over 80 seats, falling just short of the 88 needed for a majority.
This would force them to consider alliances with independents and possibly the Social Democrats or Labour to form a government. Additionally, the exit poll indicates voter dissatisfaction regarding the government's handling of climate change
