The number of people entitled to vote is 2,747,088 and while possession of a polling card (each voter should by now have received one by post) is not essential - inclusion on the Electoral Register denotes an entitlement to vote - it is helpful to personation officers and should be presented when applying for a ballot paper.

Counting takes place on Saturday from 9am onwards on centres throughout the State based on the 41 Dail constituencies.

Counting for several of the Dublin constituencies will take place in the Industries Hall and the Main Hall of the RDS; in Cork, north and south central constituencies will be counted at Neptune Stadium, Cork East and north-west and south-west will be counted at St Finbar's Club, Togher.

Counting in other individual constituencies will be at the usual locations.

The Irish Times website will report results as they come to hand throughout Saturday.
