The first results are coming in after counting began this morning, with early indications suggesting that the nationalist left-wing party could win the popular vote for the first time in a century.
Once a pariah for its links to the IRA, Sinn Fein won almost a quarter of first-preference votes, possibly overtaking the two centrist rivals, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, that have taken turns ruling Ireland for a century.
