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
