All three of the country's largest parties are holding their think-ins this week.
Fianna Fáil TDs and senators will gather this morning, kicking-off a week of political think-ins.
Micheál Martin's party is meeting in Tullamore for the first of a two-day gathering.
It's county Offaly Fianna Fáil TDs and senators are decamping to this morning with the 'Soldiers of Destiny' gearing back up for the new Dáil term.
The agenda focuses heavily on the ministerial briefs held by the party - with morning sessions on a shared island, the budget and housing.
While migration, justice, childcare and transport all get an outing after lunch.
The three largest parties all hold their think-ins this week - with just 4 per centage points separating them in the latest polling.
However, Fianna Fáil has consistently been the third fiddle in those recent polls - and a close eye will be kept on the persistent muttering about Micheál Martin's future as he also prepares to meet Donald Trump later this week.
