FF on course for seat gains as PD vote halves

As a clearer picture of the make-up of the new Dáil began to emerge this afternoon, Fianna Fáil looked set to make gains, with the possibility of gaining an overall majority.

Tallies were predicting they hold the vast majority of their seats, with a chance of adding more in Cavan-Monaghan, Meath East and Galway West.
