With government formation talks set to begin
Government formation talks are due to formally begin in the coming days.
The largest party, Fianna Fáil, is expected to form a coalition with Fine Gael - with independents brought on board to make up a Dáil majority.
Nick Miller, former government press secretary and advisor to Leo Varadkar, says some of them could end up as ministers.
