Ireland's Election: Coalition Likely Amid Voter Discontent and Tight Race

TL;DR Summary
An exit poll from Ireland's parliamentary election suggests that the three major parties—Fine Gael, Fianna Fail, and Sinn Fein—have received nearly equal support, indicating the likelihood of another coalition government. Sinn Fein, which advocates for the reunification of Northern Ireland with the Republic of Ireland, could emerge as the largest party but may struggle to form a government due to the reluctance of other parties to ally with it. Key election issues include the housing crisis and immigration, with the results reflecting a divided voter base.
