England. That is it for now, we're back with the late News at Ten PM. | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Now it is difficult to form a new Government | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
after both the partners in the outgoing coalition suffered | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
big losses in the Dail election. So far, just nine TDs | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
have been elected. Fianna Fail have five seats, | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Fine Gael two, Sinn Fein one seat | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
and Independents one seat. Our Political Editor, | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
Mark Devenport, is at the RDS The results being declared this | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
afternoon have borne out the picture predicted by a couple of exit polls, | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
and that picture isn't pretty for Fine Gael and Labour, | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
but it's much more agreeable 15 years ago, Eoin O'Broin | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
was elected as now he's a TD who'll be representing | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
Dublin Mid West. My colleague Shane Harrison has | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
the details on how the counts The opened ballot boxes quickly told | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
us the story of the election. Fine Gael and Labour | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
were set for massive losses. In all of the published and | :01:08. | :01:20. | |
unpublished polls in the last week, we were somewhere between 20 to 30%, | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
so to come in at 25, 26 is disappointing. | :01:27. | :01:34. | |
If the coalition parties were the big losers, | :01:35. | :01:35. | |
then Fianna Fail looks like being the major winner. | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
And already there's speculation that if another election is to be | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
avoided, Micheal Martin's party will have to come to | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
Everyone who is elected has a responsibility to do their best by | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
the country and we are committed to doing our best and ensuring the | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
country gets a good government, but it will take time. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Sinn Fein are also big winners, set to increase significantly | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
This has been a hugely successful election for Sinn Fein. We have | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
increased our percentage vote, we will increase our number of seats. | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
And we have a similar Mac elections in May. -- Assembly. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
The Independent Shane Ross was the first TD to be elected. | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Results are now beginning to trickle in. | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
There's still a long way to go in the counts here, | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
with the results to be determined by transfers. | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
And with the gap between Fine Gael and Fianna Fail set to narrow, | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
there's many a twist and turn left | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Shane Harrison, BBC Newsline, Dublin. | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
The Dail is due to reconvene on March 10th, but there's no | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
certainty the parties will be able to form a working coalition by then. | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
So it's possible that Enda Kenny might have to fly to Washington | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
in mid March to celebrate St Patrick's Day as a Taoiseach | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
who has the title of his office, but not the majority | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
And tomorrow morning there'll be an extended Sunday Politics | :02:58. | :03:00. | |

Our Economics and Business Editor, John Campbell, reports. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Food and drink are among our biggest exports to the EU. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
And that's what the Prime Minister was focused on today. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
At this Ahoghill dairy farm, he faced some sceptical questioning. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
Farmers wanted to know what EU membership has done for them | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
They spoke of fears that the subsidy budget will increasingly | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
Mr Cameron acknowledged the EU isn't perfect, | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
but he said leaving the single market would be a massive risk. | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
We have privileged access to a market of 500 million people in the | :03:54. | :04:03. | |
free-trade single market. That gives us jobs, investment, it gives us the | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
chance to build on what is already a strong economy. We could put it at | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
risk if we were to leave. He also warned that leaving | :04:11. | :04:11. | |
could make it harder to travel across the border, | :04:12. | :04:13. | |
something his critics The Prime Minister has been making | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
his pitch for the UK to state with the EU and he says that those who | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
want to leave must explain what it will look like and we may get those | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
answers next week when Boris Johnson is here in Northern Ireland. | :04:32. | :04:33. | |
Three men in their thirties have been arrested in West Belfast | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
on suspicion of murdering Stephen Carson. | :04:37. | :04:37. | |
The 28-year-old was shot in the head on Thursday evening after a gang | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
forced their way into his home in Walmer Street as he was eating | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
dinner with his partner and nine-year-old son. | :04:45. | :04:45. | |
Police also found a gun during searches. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
The Green Party leader, Stephen Agnew, has said he expects | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
the party to gain ground at the Assembly election in May. | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
But at their annual conference in Belfast today, Mr Agnew said | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
he was looking for the party to take at least two more seats. | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
We have 18 candidates demanded by our electorate and a membership. We | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
are stunning across Northern Ireland, every constituency can | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
expect not just an increase in our votes but increase in our seats and | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
an increase in things we can achieve at the other side of the elections. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |

Good evening. A pretty cold night coming up, clear spells, | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
temperatures will be falling away down to freezing or below. A fairly | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
widespread frost tonight. Maybe one or two icy patches and wintry | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
showers towards the South East. Tomorrow essentially not a bad day. | :06:13. | :06:15. | |

perhaps some patches of mist and fog. Elsewhere across the UK and | :06:20. | :06:25. | |

around six Celsius. Into the new week, less cold but windy with | :06:42. | :06:42. | |
