For the second election in a row, just one female TD, Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns, will be elected across the entirety of Cork city and county.
While a 40% candidate gender quota had been introduced ahead of last Friday's election, the percentage of women TDs elected to the incoming Dáil is expected to increase by just 2% when all votes are counted.
