Ireland’s exit polls indicate close 3-way race – The Tribune

Vote counting got underway on Saturday in Ireland’s national election after an exit poll suggested the contest is a close-fought race among the country’s three largest political parties. Ballot boxes were opened at 9 am local time at count centres across the country, kicking off long hours, or even days, of tallying the results. The exit poll suggested voters’ support is split widely among the three big parties — Fine Gael, Fianna Fail and Sinn Fein — as well as several smaller parties.
