Election day has arrived, with two candidates waiting to hear the results.
Catherine Connolly and Heather Humphreys have cast their votes, along with current President Michael D Higgins and his wife Sabina.

Counting of votes will begin on Saturday, 25 October, with results expected to be announced in the evening.
No confirmed date or time for the election results to be announced.
