The Dáil will attempt to elect a Taoiseach and a new government again this morning.
It follows explosive scenes which prevented the nomination of Micheal Martin to the Taoiseach's office as planned yesterday.
The opposition were protesting about four government-supporting Independents using up speaking time in the opposition benches.
To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Fine Gael TD, Joe Cooney.
