Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Green Party to negotiate programme for government.
Negotiations to form a programme for government will begin this afternoon.
The Green Party, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil will start trying to negotiate a programme for government.
Teams from the three parties will need to reach a consensus on a Covid-19 recovery, as well as issues like housing and climate change.
Green Party leader Eamon Ryan says he hopes it can be done by the end of the month.
"It has to be confidential in the sense you don't want the negotiation public.
"But at the same time you need to open it up to bring in new thinking and so on.
"So it's not the old fashioned way, where two or three of the top men go into a smokey room and bang on a table for 20 hours, and then come out with some sort of a deal."
