Independents who won't become ministers are looking to create a technical group to secure speaking time on opposition benches.
Attempts by Independent TDs who are supporting the Government to secure opposition speaking time in the Dáil are being described as a farce by Sinn Féin.
The Regional Independents who won't be Ministers are seeking to create a technical group to ensure speaking slots from the opposition benches.
New Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy will have to rule on the issue next week.
Political correspondent Sean Defoe says it seems there will be an Independent technical group in opposition featuring the likes of Offaly TD Carol Nolan:
