^ Given that Sinn Féin members of Parliament (MPs) practise abstentionism and do not take their seats, while the Speaker and deputies do not vote, the number of MPs needed for a majority is in practice slightly lower. Sinn Féin won 7 seats, and including the speaker and their 3 deputy speakers, meaning a majority requires 320 seats.
