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.
