Today on Morning Focus, we were joined on the show by the four newly elected TD’s.
Firstly Joe Carey, Fine Gael TD and Michael McNamara, Independent TD joined us on air and later on, we were joined by Violet-Anne Wynne, Sinn Féin TD and Cathal Crowe Fianna Fáil TD to gage how they found the experience of the count and to discuss what their role will be in the formation of the next government.

Also just before that on the show, we were joined on the line be Sean Defoe, Group Political Editor to discuss how all 160 seats have been filled in the 33rd Dáil. Fianna Fáil are the largest party on 38, closely followed by Sinn Féin on 37 and Fine Gael on 35. The Green Party has 12 while Labour and the Social Democrats have six each. The numbers mean it will be a complicated process to find a majority in the Dail.
