Ireland is voting in a parliamentary election to choose the next government. The outgoing government was led by Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, who formed a coalition after the 2020 election. Sinn Fein, the opposition party, achieved a breakthrough in the last election but was shut out of government. The cost of living, particularly housing, has been a major issue in the campaign. Opinion polls suggest support is split between several parties, with a Fine Gael-Fianna Fail coalition being the most likely outcome.
