The three main political parties have tied in first preference votes, according to an exit poll for the Republic of Ireland's general election.
The earliest indications from the poll suggest there is little difference between Fine Gael, Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil.
Polling closed in the general election at 22:00 GMT.
Counting to elect the 33rd Dáil (Irish parliament) will begin on Sunday in all 39 constituencies.
