Alan Shatter’s political career is over. He has lost his seat in Dublin-Rathdown.
He was overtaken by Fine Gael colleague Josepha Madigan, as well as being overtaken Green Party candidate Catherine Martin on the sixth count.
Three high profile Labour figures are about to officially lose their seat, with Joan Burton being the most likely to go. Alex White has gone already as has Kathleen Lynch.
It’s looking more and more likely that there will be a Fianna Fail, Fine Gael coalition.
