Overall it's looking like a bad day for the Green Party while the larger parties have cause for optimism.
Sinn Féin has a very real chance of being the largest party in the next Dáil - it's looking like it will pick up seats in a number of Dublin constituencies as well as Galway East and a second seat in Waterford.
Fine Gael's new candidates have also performed well and it looks like the party will hold most of its seats and maybe pick up a handful.
Fianna Fáil will still be in the mix but is facing a harder day.
The Greens could well return with no seats with Roderic O'Gorman really the only live possibility - and he in a dogfight.
Some constituencies like Wicklow Wexford are clear cut with one for each of the larger parties.
Others like Dublin South Central have eight or nine candidates genuinely in play for four seats.
