A group of independent TDs have been meeting party leaders.
A former government minister isn't expecting a return to cabinet if the regional independent group of TDs agrees to be involved in a coalition agreement.
Roscommon/Galway's Denis Naughten and Kildare South deputy Cathal Berry met with Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and Green Party leaders yesterday.
A programme for government is expected to be finalised in the coming week.
Deputy Naughten says ministries will be divided between the three main parties:
