'Keeping Sinn Féin honest'
Commentator Fionnuala O'Connor says she's fascinated with Sinn Féin and West Belfast.
She says that for the first time now, there's a second all-Ireland party, People Before Profit.
"They have taken out Rosie McCorley, who was part of the old machine. It was a whopping vote... The presence of Gerry Carroll and Eamonn McCann will liven the assembly up and will help to keep Sinn Féin honest."
BBC News NI's Tara Mills was front and centre when Gerry Adams spoke to the media at the Belfast count a few moments ago.

'Knuckle down'
Asked about the vote in west Belfast, Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams says there "a little fragmentation on the edges".
"That's good. It's really important whoever you are voting for that you come out and vote," he says.
"If we had stood one candidate, we would have brought in just less than 20,000. I commend Gerry Carroll.
"This isn't about topping the poll. What everybody will have to do is to knuckle down and work for the people of that constituency. I predicted he was going to top the poll."
Patterson and Allister would have been a 'colourful mix'
