New Seanad cannot be fully formed without the 11 Senators nominated by a taoiseach elected by the new Dáil

This is because a new Seanad cannot be fully formed without the 11 Senators nominated by a taoiseach elected by the new Dáil. Ceann Comhairle Sean Ó Fearghaíl said the matter gives rise to a very serious constitutional problem.

Many believe this legal lacuna could inject urgency into government formation talks as Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael meet today. The Green Party has again stated that it would pursue a national unity government and not a coalition with just Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. The Fine Gael delegation will include Simon Coveney, Paschal Donohoe, Heather Humphreys and Hildegarde Naughton.

It's amazing that simoncoveney can work with EOBroin to try get people home from Australia yet LeoVaradkar is incapable of working with sinnfein in any capacity. Shame he can't leave his ego out of things and respect the voters equally. Very democratic behaviour

Well let’s not panic, the Seanad votes haven’t even been counted yet

God forbid we could form a unity government. Oh, that’s right - ‘great job’ Leo can’t tolerate the idea of it. Maybe all this dallying will be remembered by our media. 🤣
