Okay, maybe not an "outright" win, but they are the party with the most votes.
Now that they have won more than anyone else, they will try to form a coalition, but that could be difficult as Sinn Fein comes with a lot of baggage.

Sinn Féin president Mary Lou McDonald has described the Irish general election as "something of a revolution in the ballot box". Counting is continuing and the first results have come in, with Sinn Féin winning the most first preference votes. With all first preferences counted, it has 24.5% compared to 22.2% for Fianna Fáil and 20.9% for Fine Gael. No one party will win enough seats for an outright majority. Before the election, both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil ruled out forming a government with Sinn Féin, citing its tax policies and IRA past as deterrents. On Sunday evening taoiseach (Irish PM) and Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar said it would be "challenging" to form a government. |
