The next government will be a coalition consisting of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and the Regional Independent Group after they reached an agreement on Tuesday.
After the general election, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael had a combined 86 seats, two short of a majority. The deal with Independent TDs will now give them a majority following government formation talks.
The deal means a government will be formed when the Dáil returns next week, on Wednesday, January 22nd.
