Following the election of Verona Murphy as Ceann Comhairle, discussions around the roles of Independent TDs in the next Irish government suggest they may only secure super junior positions instead of full Cabinet roles. Seán Canney and Noel Grealish are likely contenders for a single super junior role, with additional junior ministerial posts expected for other Independents. The coalition led by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael seeks the support of a select number of Independent TDs to achieve a stable working majority, focusing on key issues like cost-of-living and law enforcement.
