Members of the new 34th Dáil have begun to sign the Roll of Members at Leinster House.
By signing, it enables TDs to take their seat when it convenes for the first time on 18 December.
Among the new deputies were Fianna Fáil's Tom Brabazon and Independent Barry Heneghan.
The signing of the roll takes place in the presence of the Clerk of the Dáil, Peter Finnegan.
Another deputy signing the roll was Fianna Fáil's Timmy Dooley who was returned to the Dáil in the General Election after spending the last Oireachtas term in the Seanad, and Fine Gael's Emer Currie, the new TD in Dublin West.
