Fianna Fáil's decided to hold round-table talks with Independent TDs next week – just hours before the Dáil meets to attempt to elect a Taoiseach.
The move may affect plans by the Acting Taoiseach Enda Kenny to initiate contact with Micheal Martin as early as tomorrow.

Independent TDs, including Clare's Dr. Michael Harty, are due back in Government Buildings this morning to talk to Fine Gael about political and constitutional reform, health, youth services, childcare and the elderly.
It's understood that Enda Kenny will only contact Fianna Fáil and other opposition parties once he's agreed a programme of priorities with the Independents to see what support would be forthcoming.
