How it started ...
The first seat in Wexford was filled by Independent Verona Murphy, who topped the poll with 21% of first preference votes.
She said she did not expect to do so well, but was delighted to get 11,340 first preferences.
Ms Murphy will return to the Dáil for a second term and said she will continue to work for the people of Wexford.
"We did phenomenal work for the last five years as a team, and I think thankfully, the people of Wexford have recognised that and endorsed it today," she said.
"I couldn't be prouder," she added.
Early tallies had Fianna Fáil's James Browne, Sinn Féin’s Johnny Mythen and Labour all holding a seat and that is how it turned out - but it took a full day for the result.
On Sunday morning, count five began with Independent Jackser Owens's exclusion and his 561 votes were then distributed.
It continued like that with another four candidates excluded, including Mick Wallace, the former Independent TD and MEP.
There was some surprise he did not do well here, although he was a late entry into the race.
The Fine Gael story was one of boundary changes and lesser known candidates.
Two young councillors, Cathal Byrne and Bridín Murphy, battled each other and ultimately they were not transfer friendly.
The result means there will be no Fine Gael representative for Wexford in the Dáil for the first time in almost 100 years.
Mr Browne will return to the Dáil with the second highest tally of votes after he took 11,292 votes on the eleventh and final count.
Mr Mythen topped the poll in 2020, but it was a slower wait for him.
He was elected on the last count with 10,550 votes.
In his victory speech, he thanked his team, the "Sinn Féin train" and said he would represent everyone in Wexford.
The outgoing Labour TD who has held this seat for 40 years, Brendan Howlin, was confident from the start of the count for George Lawlor, who has waited over 20 years to get to the Dáil.
Mr Lawlor, the current Mayor of Wexford, had to step out of the count to do his mayoral duties - he had to help Santa switch on the Christmas lights in the town.
He said it was a great honour to carry on the 100 year tradition of Labour in Wexford and that he did not take that lightly.
Alluding to the new neighbouring constituency of Wicklow-Wexford, which elected three new TDs, Mr Lawlor said there are now seven TDs who represent "this wonderful county".
