The early tallies in the general election campaign are showing Fine Gael and Labour getting a hammering from the electorate.
It confirms the indications from two exit polls showing just around a third of people voted for the outgoing coalition.
Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin, Independents and smaller parties have seen significant increases in support.
These early tallies do carry a health warning as they often don't give a full geographic spread in constituencies.
But already some big names could be in trouble.
Among them the Deputy leader of Fine Gael, James Reilly in Dublin Fingal where he has secured just 7% of votes in the 18% of boxes tallied.
In Dun Laoghaire the return of Fianna Fáil's Mary Hanafin is looking less likely with the tallies so far showing Fine Gael doing better in that constituency than they have done nationally.
In Dublin Bay South the Renua leader Lucinda Creighton has a real battle on her hands.
In Cork Junior Health Minister Kathleen Lynch is now tipped to lose her seat.
Half of boxes in Dublin West – home of Tánaiste and Labour leader Joan Burton have now been tallied and she has performed better than many expected.
