The 2024 Irish General Election has resulted in a significant shift in the political landscape, with many established politicians losing their seats. Health Minister Stephen Donnelly faces a tough race to retain his position as the final seat in Wicklow hangs in the balance. The Green Party suffers a substantial decline in representation, dropping from 12 to just one TD. Conversely, the Social Democrats and Labour have both seen their seat numbers grow. Counting continues in several constituencies, and coalition talks are anticipated as new political dynamics emerge.
