The chairperson positions for the 28 Oireachtas committees have now been allocated after the process was stalled for over four months over disagreements triggered by the Dáil speaking row.
The Oireachtas committees, which are essential to both the formulation and the passing of legislation, are taking shape, but it could be some time yet before they are fully up and running.
Sinn Féin will chair the Finance, Justice Home Affairs and Migration, Public Accounts, Defence and National Security, Disability Matters, Petitions, and Fisheries committees.
Labour will get to appoint the chairperson of the Oireachtas Committe on Media and Arts, and the Traveller Community committee.
The Social Democrats, who became eligible for a second chairing role after declaring that its suspended deputy Eoin Hayes remained a party TD, will chair the Health and the Drug Use committees.
The Independent Technical Group will chair the Committee on Budgetary Oversight while the Independents and Smaller Parties group will chair the Irish Language Committee.
The remaining 15 roles will go to Government TDs.
The Regional Independent TDs are not seeking a committee chairperson position.
Sinn Féin Leader Mary Lou McDonald said there is no reason to drag out the full establishment of committees until the end of May.
She said: "Our Chief Whip, Pádraig Mac Lochlainn, put forward a proposal that the process be truncated to one week so that committees can be meeting in the first week of May.
"We offered to work during recess to make this happen."
