Dublin, Dec 1 (AP) A marathon vote-counting exercise was underway Saturday in Ireland's national election after an exit poll suggested that the contest is a close-fought race among the country's three largest political parties. Election officials opened ballot boxes at count centres across the country, kicking off what could be several days of tallying the results. If the exit poll is borne out, that could be followed by days or weeks of negotiations to form a coalition government.

The exit poll suggested voters' support is split widely among the three big parties — Fine Gael, Fianna Fail, and Sinn Fein — as well as several smaller parties and an assortment of independents ranging from the left to the far right. The poll said that centre-right party Fine Gael was the first choice of 21 per cent of voters, and another centre-right party, Fianna Fail, of 19.5 per cent. The two parties governed in coalition before the election. Left-of-centre opposition party Sinn Fein was at 21.1 per cent in the poll.

Pollster Ipsos B&A asked 5,018 voters across the country how they had cast their ballots. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.4 percentage points. The figures only give an indication and don't reveal which parties will form the next government. Ireland uses a complex system of proportional representation in which each of the country's 43 constituencies elects several lawmakers and voters rank candidates in order of preference. As a result, it can take some time for full results to be known. The cost of living — especially Ireland's acute housing crisis — was a dominant topic in the three-week campaign, alongside immigration, which has become an emotive and challenging issue in a country of 5.4 million people long defined by emigration. The result will show whether Ireland bucks the global trend of incumbents being ousted by disgruntled voters after years of pandemic, international instability and cost-of-living pressures. The outgoing government was led by the two parties that have dominated Irish politics for the past century: Fine Gael and Fianna Fail. They have similar policies, but are longtime rivals with origins on opposing sides of Ireland's 1920s civil war. After the 2020 election ended in a virtual dead heat, they formed a coalition. Before polling day, analysts said the most likely outcome was another Fine Gael-Fianna Fail coalition. That remains a likely option. The front-runners to be the next taoiseach, or prime minister, are current Taoiseach Simon Harris of Fine Gael and Fianna Fail leader Micheál Martin — despite their parties' relatively lackluster showing. Harris, Martin and Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald all won-re-election to their parliamentary seats in results announced Saturday. Fine Gael candidate Paschal Donohoe, a minister in the outgoing government, said the main theme of the election was “one of the centre holding.” “The big picture is, at a time in which incumbent governments all over Europe are struggling to get re-elected, the two larger parties within this government, in particular Fine Gael, are going to deliver a very strong performance,” he said at the count centre in Dublin. The two parties would need the support of smaller groups or independents to achieve a majority in the 174-seat Dail, the lower house of Parliament. The Green Party, which held 12 seats in the last parliament and propped up the governing coalition, acknowledged that it was headed for a disappointing result. Among a large crop of independent candidates was reputed organised crime boss Gerry “the Monk” Hutch, who has seen a groundswell of support since he was bailed on money-laundering charges in Spain this month in order to run for election. Early results suggested he stood a good chance of winning a seat in Dublin. Sinn Fein achieved a stunning breakthrough in the 2020 election, topping the popular vote, but was shut out of government because Fianna Fail and Fine Gael refused to work with it, citing its leftist policies and historic ties with the Irish Republican Army during three decades of violence in Northern Ireland. Though Sinn Fein, which aims to reunite Ireland with the independent Republic of Ireland, could become the largest party in the Dail, it may struggle to get enough coalition partners to form a government. During the election campaign, both Fine Gael and Fianna Fail maintained they wouldn't go into government with it. A Sinn Fein-led government would shake up Irish politics — and the future of the United Kingdom. The party is already the largest in Northern Ireland, and a Sinn Fein government in the republic would push for a referendum on Irish reunification in the next few years. Party leader McDonald said that Sinn Fein had “broken the political mold” in Ireland. “Two-party politics is now gone. It's consigned to the dustbin of history, and that in itself is very significant," she said as she awaited results at a count centre in Dublin. “The question now arises for us, what do we do with that?” (AP) (This is an unedited and auto-generated story from Syndicated News feed, LatestLY Staff may not have modified or edited the content body)5 top tech gifts for the holidays

Germany's Merkel recalls Putin's 'power games' and contrasting US presidents in her memoirsBy Jennifer Allen Between cooking, cleaning and hosting, the familiar hustle of the holiday season can sometimes feel more hectic than heartwarming. But what if there were a way to embrace the season while leaving the chaos behind? Holiday cruises make all of this possible, offering the perfect getaway that can be tailored to any vibe – blending festive traditions with the excitement of travel. Imagine sipping hot chocolate in the background of the Northern Lights, exploring sun-drenched islands or maybe enjoying a festive dinner on the sea. Whether looking for family-friendly fun, romance for two or peaceful solo travel, holiday cruises deliver a unique celebration unlike any other. Do you want to skip the stress of the season but don’t want to miss out on the holiday cheer? Rest assured, among the most well-known cruise lines, most of them host elaborate holiday festivities that transform their ships into winter wonderlands complete with decorations, entertainment and activities fit for Santa Claus himself. Instead of buying gifts, stressing over what to cook or bake and cleaning over the holidays, Michelle Price of Honest and Truly prefers a holiday cruise for her family. “The ship takes care of everything, from making the beds in the morning to prepping our meals throughout the day. And they have various fun activities to keep us busy,” she says. From towering Christmas trees in the atrium to twinkling lights on every railing, cruises at this time of year are very creative with their festive splendor. Cruises will also complement their aesthetics to match entertainment, including tree-lighting ceremonies, live caroling and holiday movie nights under the stars. Depending on the cruise, you can expect a robust calendar of events with activities like ugly sweater parties, holiday trivia, Santa appearances and even onboard Christmas markets. The holiday wouldn’t feel complete without the food to match, and cruise lines deliver. You can enjoy lavish holiday dinners complete with everything, from the traditional turkey to international Christmas dishes. Some cruises even offer themed buffets with everything, from a turkey carving station to hot and creamy chowders , holiday cocktails, gingerbread-making workshops and seasonal dessert tastings to add fun to the feasts. Cruises cater to various travelers and take the guesswork out of planning a holiday. Unlike a traditional vacation where you are responsible for your own itinerary, cruises do the hard work for you by planning destinations, offering a wide variety of on-board activities and providing varied experiences that appeal to all. A 2024 survey by Expedia Cruises concluded that 82% of travelers who have cruised before say they would do it again. Traveling with the whole family can often feel like an exercise in logistics that leaves you more stressed than you were before your holiday. Holiday cruises simplify this, offering multigenerational activities, family-friendly dining options and flexible accommodations. The Disney Cruise Line, which includes the Very Merrytime Cruises for the holiday season, is popular for offering exciting kid-centric activities like themed crafts, holiday scavenger hunts and character meet-and-greets. These endless options paired with the kids’ or teens’ clubs keep younger travelers entertained while giving their parents peace of mind. When traveling with older family members, consider reaching out to the cruise ahead of time to find out what accessible options they offer. Cruise lines can sometimes accommodate requests that might be better suited for older folks like avoiding stairs or long walks to reach their room. Couples can rediscover their magic on holiday cruises that offer intimate moments and tailored experiences. The Romantic Cruises by Princess Cruises stand out because of their private balcony dining and couples’ activities like wine tastings or cooking classes to make hors d’oeuvres . However, many holiday cruises offer specialty experiences like date-night-worthy restaurants, sunset strolls on the deck and shared excursions that are sure to create lasting memories. For couples looking to rest and relax, holiday cruises can provide serene spaces, spa suites and infinity verandas that are perfect for unwinding together. Cruises provide the perfect atmosphere for singles to mingle and enjoy the holiday season with company. Social events like trivia nights, dance parties and holiday mixers encourage connection and camaraderie. Certain cruises, like the Norwegian Cruise Line and the Virgin Voyages’ Holiday Cruises, cater specifically to solo travelers. These cruises include adult-only entertainment, curated activities and a vibrant nightlife. Rest assured, these cruises provide plenty of holiday entertainment and seasonal activities that ensure you enjoy yourself while staying close to your holiday traditions. With over 323 cruise ships currently in operation serving 36 million passengers this year alone, according to photoAiD , how do you choose if you’re a first-time cruiser ? Start by confirming that the cruise is appropriate for the needs of your traveling group. Often, experiences that are tailored for a specific group, whether kids or couples, will be described in the cruise line’s name – take for instance, the Disney Cruise Line. You can also check out the on-board activities available to make sure that there are plenty of options for your company.

Holiday cruises make luxury accessible without breaking the bank, with options as low as $300 for shorter voyages. Cruises will often provide all-inclusive packages that bundle accommodations, dining, entertainment and travel into a single cost-effective experience. The Carnival Cruise line remains a favorite for budget-conscious travelers because of its fun festivities and great dining options. However, even high-end experiences, like the MSC Cruises’ Yacht Club, which includes amenities like private pools, lounges and butler services come at a fraction of the cost of traditional luxury resorts. Lastly, ask yourself what holiday vibe you’re going for. Are you dreaming of a sunny tropical Christmas or perhaps frosty landscapes? Either way, with thousands of options in December alone, as cataloged by CruiseBooking.com , there’s a cruise waiting for you.

Mid-cap stocks are excellent additions to your portfolio. They offer higher growth prospects than large-cap stocks while being less risky than small-cap stocks. Against this backdrop, let’s look at the following three top Canadian mid-cap stocks that are ideal additions to your portfolios now. goeasy Since beginning its consumer lending business in 2006, ( ) took around 13 years to reach $1 billion in consumer loan portfolio. However, the company has more than quadrupled its loan portfolio to $4.39 billion since then. Amid the expanding loan portfolio, its and diluted EPS (earnings per share) have grown at an annualized rate of 28.7% and 20.1% over the last five years. Despite the solid growth, goeasy has acquired a small percentage of the Canadian subprime market, thus offering a substantial scope for expansion. The company also raised around $700 million by issuing senior unsecured notes, thus strengthening its total funding capacity. Also, its comprehensive product range, multiple distribution channels, and geographical expansion could continue to expand its loan portfolio. It has adopted next-gen credit models and tightened underwriting requirements, which could lower delinquencies and improve profitability. Moreover, goeasy has rewarded its shareholders by raising its dividends at 30% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) for the last 10 years, while its forward yield currently stands at 2.75%. Considering all these factors, I believe goeasy would be an excellent buy. Docebo Another midcap stock I am bullish on is ( ), which offers an end-to-end learning platform to organizations worldwide. Last month, it reported an impressive third-quarter performance, with its top line growing by 19% to $55.4 million. The net addition of 266 customers over the last four quarters and a 9.8% increase in its average contract value drove its sales. Supported by top-line growth, the company grew its adjusted net income by 66% to $8.3 million. Meanwhile, analysts project the LMS (learning management systems) market to grow in double-digits for the rest of this decade. Given its highly customizable platform and introduction of artificial intelligence-powered tools, the company could continue to expand its market share in the coming quarters. So, I expect the uptrend in Docebo’s financials and stock price to continue. Lightspeed Commerce My final pick is ( ), which has been under pressure this week, losing 9.5% of its stock value. On Monday, the company announced it would slash 200 jobs amid its reorganization initiative to optimize its operations. It also added that it would incur most of the restructuring charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. So, investors are worried that the reorganization charges could hurt its profitability, thus leading to a correction. Meanwhile, the selloff has created an excellent buying opportunity for long-term customers in Lightspeed due to its solid growth prospects. The secular shift towards an omnichannel selling model has created a multi-year growth potential for the company. The company continues to launch innovative products, focusing on North American retail and EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) hospitality sectors. Besides, its unified POS (point-of-sales) and Payments offering has expanded the adoption of its Payments platform, thus driving its GPV (gross payment volume) and financials. Along with these growth initiatives, Lightspeed has adopted several cost-cutting initiatives, which could boost its profitability. Despite these growth prospects, the company trades 2.2 times , making it an excellent buy.Cyclone Fengal: TN health department to conduct 500 medical camps in red alert districts on December 1ATLANTA (AP) — Ethan Vasko threw three touchdown passes and ran for a fourth as Coastal Carolina became bowl eligible by beating Georgia State 48-27 for its sixth win of the season in the regular season finale on Saturday.
