Michael D. Higgins is accepting that he may win the presidential election on the first count.
The result will come some time this evening and the Labour candidate is expected to have a comfortable lead over Independent Sean Gallagher.
Mr Higgins said he is "quietly confident" of finishing in first place.
Mr Higgins said: "It has been a long campaign, it has been a campaign that has brought me two or three times into literally every village and town in Ireland and it went on right up to the very end.
"It is very close between two candidates, but it looks now, with the reports coming in from across the constituencies, I could probably win on the first count."
