Fianna Fáil emerged as the largest party in the recent Irish general election, winning 48 seats in the Dáil. Sinn Féin followed with 39 seats and Fine Gael secured 38. A coalition government is likely between Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, despite Sinn Féin’s interest in coalition talks. Voter turnout hit a century-low of 59.7%. New political discussions are expected, with Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin anticipated to be the next taoiseach.
