The figures show a clear win for Michael D Higgins and a strong performance for Peter Casey.
It looks like Michael D Higgins has comfortably won this election with Peter Casey putting in a strong performance.
The incumbent has won all the constituencies announced so far and may win the entire country.
Peter Casey came within 6 points of Mr Higgins in Donegal - he so far has about 26% of the vote.
Michael D Higgins is still on course to be elected on the first count.
Seán Gallagher says he doesn't regret running again despite his poor showing this time around, and that today is not a day for postmortems.
While Gavin Duffy says Michael D Higgins deserves the win and wouldn't rule out a run at office again.
