Dublin has elected its four MEPs for the European Parliament.
It follows late drama at the count centre in the RDS on Tuesday night.
The MEPs who will represent Dublin in the European Parliament are Fine Gael's Regina Doherty, Fianna Fáil's Barry Andrews, Lynn Boylan of Sinn Féin and Labour's Aodhán Ó Ríordáin.

Senator Doherty said she can't wait to get started in the European Parliament.
"It's absolutely wonderful and those of the people in politics that have had days when they've lost know how miserable they are and lonely sometimes," she said.
"But today is just a wonderful day and it's not just for me because I wasn't the person responsible for getting me elected.
"There are hundreds of people around me and supporting me but it's a bloody marvellous feeling I have to tell you - so it's really nice".

She started the day in fourth in the poll but the transfers of Daithí Doolan sent her back above radio presenter Niall Boylan and she turned out to be very transfer friendly in the final counts.
However it was the elimination of People Before Profit's Brid Smyth which ultimately decided this election.
Her transfers allowed Mr Ó Ríordáin to overtake Ciarán Cuffe of the Green Party into fifth place.
Mr Cuffe could not make up the lost ground following the elimination of his fellow outgoing MEP Clare Daly.

His election means there will need to be at least one by-election in the next six months.
Mr Ó Ríordáin says it is a triumphant day for The Labour Party.
"I lost my Dad a year ago and that really motivated me a lot, after the riots in November, that maybe Dublin needs a better voice," he said.
"We've really enjoyed the campaign, it's been very energising, it's been clearly very emotional but to win again for Labour means that we're back".
There are still seats in the European Parliament to be filled in the South and Midlands North-West constituencies.
The counting of votes in both of these constituencies will resume later this morning.
