Counting has started in the Irish general election as an exit poll puts the three main political parties tied in first preference votes.
Ballot boxes from across the 39 constituencies were opened at 09:00 local time.
Indications from the exit poll suggest there is little difference in percentage terms between Fine Gael, Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil.
