Micheál Martin has completed a remarkable turnaround for Fianna Fáil to be on the brink of becoming Taoiseach again. 

Fianna Fáil is on track to secure 8-10 seats more than Fine Gael and has again become the largest party in the country in what is being viewed as a personal victory for the Cork South Central politician.
