The center-right parties Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have secured one seat less than required for a majority in Ireland’s Dáil following the recent elections. Despite a loss of seats for the Green Party, which was part of the outgoing government, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are expected to form the next government. The Green Party, led by Roderic O’Gorman, faced significant losses, maintaining only one seat. Sinn Féin, led by Mary Lou McDonald, remains the opposition but is unlikely to form a government. The new administration will have to address urgent housing and living cost issues.
