TL;DR
Ireland is holding a closely contested general election, with Prime Minister Simon Harris and his Fine Gael party hoping to retain power amid challenges from Sinn Fein and Fianna Fail. Key issues include the cost of living, housing shortages, and immigration. The election is expected to result in another coalition government, likely involving Fine Gael and Fianna Fail, with smaller parties or independents as potential kingmakers. Polls close Friday night, but full results and government formation may take days or weeks.
