With Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl leading the charge, it looks like the party is on course to secure a notable number of seats, making their supporters optimistic about the upcoming legislative session. Were those campaign posters of Fáilacious candidates worth the hype?

Countings are as lively as a local pub on a Saturday night, with results streaming in swiftly from around the country. Every vote counts as citizens glued to their screens await the outcome.

With every box opened, there’s the thrill of uncertainty that keeps citizens collectively holding their breaths through the counting marathon. Who will pull off the comeback no one saw coming?

While the excitement brews, let’s not forget some quirky election facts. Did you know that this year’s General Election attracted the highest turnout in a decade?
