Renua Ireland leader Lucinda Creighton has become the latest casualty of this election – failing to hold her seat in Dublin Bay South.
The party's only chance of a seat now is deputy leader Billy Timmins who is struggling in Wicklow where counting's suspended until tomorrow.
The state of play now – Fine Gael has 19 seats, Labour has 1 in Tánaiste Joan Burton.
Fianna Fáil has 22 seats and Sinn Féin has 7.
The Social Democrats have 3 seats – the troika of leaders – Catherine Murphy, Roisin Shortall and Stephen Donnelly.
The Greens have 1 seat in deputy leader Catherine Martin, but party leader Eamon Ryan's in with a good chance in Dublin Bay South.
Unaligned independents have 6, there are 3 from the Independent alliance, and the anti austerity alliance/people before profit have two TDs so far.
