A number of Independent TDs will meet Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil today to discuss forming a government.
The two parties have agreed to form an administration together, but are eight seats short of a Dáil majority.
Independent deputies Marian Harkin, Michael Fitzmaurice and Seán Canney are among those who'll meet the parties today.
The Greens, the Social Democrats and Labour are still deciding whether to go into government with the larger parties.
