Ó Fearghaíl re-election puts SF and FF neck and neck

Seán Ó Fearghaíl as Ceann Comhairle will leave Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin neck and neck with voting TD numbers in the race to lead the next government.

The 33rd Dáil will meet for the first time today. But after the shock election and amid a fractured political landscape, TDs and parties will be unable to nominate a taoiseach.
