Eight TDs have been elected to Dáil Éireann as first counts have come in from across the country.
You can keep up to date with all the General Election results throughout the weekend through Newstalk’s live blog and video stream.
Fine Gael's Jennifer Carroll MacNeill in the Dun Laoghaire constituency was the first TD deemed elected, followed by her party member Patrick O'Donovan in Limerick County.
Sinn Féin's David Cullinane in Waterford became the third elected TD.
He has since been joined by party members Eoin O'Broin in Dublin Mid-West and Paul Donnelly in the Dublin West constituency.
Fianna Fáil leader Tánaiste Micheál Martin and Finance Minister Jack Chambers have also been re-elected.
Verona Murphy in Wexford is currently the only Independent TD elected to the next Dail.

In Dublin Central, Gerry Hutch has finished 4th and will have to face a transfer battle with Labour's Marie Sherlock if he wants to stay in the race.
The Greens aren't quite conceding total defeat - but party leader Roderic O'Gorman is the only one in the running for a seat.
It also looks as though the exit poll understated Fianna Fáil support and overstated Sinn Féin.
However at this stage it's still too hard to call between the three largest parties.
Newstalk reporters will be at count centres around Ireland bringing you all the results as they come in.
We will also be running election specials throughout today and tomorrow, and you can follow all the action on our live blog and on our social channels.
