Ireland goes to polls with three parties neck and neck

Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin all on about 20% in opinion polls after short, sharp campaign

Ireland’s election: the parties, the issues and the voting

Ireland goes to the polls on Friday with voters expected to choose either a second term for the incumbent centre-right coalition or a left-leaning rainbow coalition led by a resurgent Sinn Féin, the former political wing of the IRA.

Opinion polls show a dead heat, with the two main government parties – Fine Gael, led by the taoiseach, Simon Harris, and Fianna Fáil, led by the former PM Micheál Martin – and Sinn Féin all hovering at about 20% of the vote.
