Counting of votes continues for final Seanad seats
The counting of votes in the Seanad election resumes this morning, with 13 seats still to fill on the vocational panels.
Of the 30 seats already filled, Fianna Fáil has 14, Fine Gael 10, Labour five and Sinn Féin one.
Fianna Fáil is expected to pick up four more and Fine Gael two when counting is completed on the industrial and commercial panel.
Attention will then switch to administrative panel, the last of the five, where seven seats are up for grabs.
Elsewhere, counting also resumes today in the university elections, with five candidates vying for three seats in the NUI ballot.
David Norris, Shane Ross and Ivana Bacik have already been elected in Trinity College.
The other 11 Senators in the 60-seat upper house are set to be nominated by the Taoiseach next Monday.
