Quiz: How much do you know about past coalition governments?

Eva Osborne

The next government will be a coalition consisting of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and the Regional Independent Group after they reached an agreement on Tuesday.

After the general election, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael had a combined 86 seats, two short of a majority. The deal with Independent TDs will now give them a majority following government formation talks.

The deal means a government will be formed when the Dáil returns next week, on Wednesday, January 22nd.
