Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil meet today to discuss policy as efforts to form a government continue.
It will be the first detailed meeting between the two parties, with a number of issues on the agenda.
Fine Gael's position is still that it will head into opposition - and that it's up to others to form the next government.
Fianna Fáil TD Marc MacSharry says we're still only in the early stages of government formation.
