Dublin Bay North resultspublished at 20:22 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February 2020
The final results are in for Dublin Bay North.
Fianna Fáil's Seán Haughey, Labour's Aodhán Ó Ríordáin and Cian O'Callaghan of the Social Democrats have been elected.
Summary
A second day of counting has concluded after Ireland's general election
All of the Dáil's 160 seats left have been filled, but negotiations to establish a government could be prolonged
Sinn Féin topped the polls with 24.5% of first-preference votes, compared to 22.2% for Fianna Fáil and 20.9% for Fine Gael
But Sinn Féin ran fewer candidates than its rivals, so no one party is able to win enough seats for an outright majority in the main house of the Irish parliament

End of twitter postIrish reunification "is live" - Mary Lou McDonaldpublished at 19:33 Greenwich Mean Time 10 February 2020
In an interview with BBC Newsnight the Sinn Féin leader said a united Ireland "is live" and "happening".
"If anybody imagines that this issue can be wished away or that we can simply carry on regardless, they are very, very foolish," she said.
"In fact, I would go so far as to say that it’s irresponsible now at this stage not to plan for constitutional transition."
She added that Irish people viewed "that Brexit debacle as a mess" which was ill-prepared and ill-conceived.
"Let’s not self walk ourselves into a disorderly constitutional transition - I think that would be wrong, I think it could be potentially dangerous. So we need to make the preparations now.”

Jayne McCormack
BBC News NI political reporterAttempts to form a new coalition-of-sorts will formally get under way, although this will be complex.
Previous administrations in the Republic of Ireland have been forged this way too, but it's taken a while to get there.
In 2016, it took 70 days for a government to be formed after the parties agreed a confidence-and-supply agreement, which saw a Fine Gael-only cabinet, propped up by Fianna Fáil votes on key policy areas.

After all 160 seats in the Dáil (Irish parliament) have been declared, the parties are expected to reconvene in the chamber on 20 February.
But it seems unlikely that an agreement on who enters government will emerge in the next nine days.
