On this week's TheExplainerPod podcast, we look at why we don't have a government yet - and what it will take to get one

The votes have been counted, we know how many seats each party has, but there’s no government yet. We do have a ceann comhairle, and Leo Varadkar has officially resigned as Taoiseach . So things are moving – but there’s no end in sight just yet.

So what will happen next, and how long could we be waiting for the parties to come to an arrangement? Then our political correspondent Christina Finn and DCU professor Gary Murphy join us in studio to discuss the various options for government formation; previous coalitions; and whether the president could even step in if there’s a stalemate.
