2020 Irish General Election Saturday Feb 08,2020

Sinn Fein on Tuesday Feb 11,2020 became Ireland's second-largest parliamentary party after winning the popular vote in the election at the weekend - shattering the political landscape and thrusting the one-time fringe party with historic links to paramilitaries into a probable role in the next government.

With counting completed in the early hours of Tuesday Sinn Fein had taken 37 of the 160 seats in the next Dail - Ireland's lower house of Parliament - after a turnout of 62.9 percent in Saturday Feb 08,2020's election

Centre-right party Fianna Fail was only one ahead on 38, while Prime Minister Leo Varadkar's Fine Gael party took 35, a result likely to mean his departure from office

If a new government is to be formed when the Dail sits on Feb 20,2020 it will have to include multiple parties.
