Taoiseach Micheál Martin has spent his first hours in office putting in place his new government.
On his return to Government Buildings from Áras an Uachtaráin, Micheál Martin set about appointing new government ministers.
Of the 15 senior ministerial positions, just one - Fine Gael's Peter Burke - is continuing in his former role, while the only minister to be demoted from the cabinet is Fianna Fáil's Charlie McConalogue.
As per the agreement between the coalition parties, there are eight ministers from Fianna Fáil and seven from Fine Gael.
Three super junior ministers who will be allowed to sit at Cabinet, but not allowed to speak at it, have also been appointed.
They are Fine Gael TD Hildegarde Naughton, and Regional Independent TDs Sean Canney and Noel Grealish.
The Dáil meets again
The Dáil resumed this evening with the Taoiseach entering the chamber, followed by his new ministerial appointees.
A motion was put to the house to approve the ministerial appointments.
That vote was carried by 97 votes to 72.
The Dáil has now adjourned until 2pm on 5 February.
Back to the Áras again and Cabinet meeting
The 15 incoming Government ministers have arrived at Áras an Uachtaráin to collect their seals of office.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has returned to the Phoenix Park for the second time today, while incoming Tánaiste Simon Harris is also in attendance.
The TDs are collecting their seals of office from President Michael D Higgins in the State Reception Room, after which a brief meeting of the new Cabinet will take place in an adjacent room.
It will be the first time at Cabinet for six Ministers.
They'll be joined by three super junior ministers, Chief Whip and Attorney General.
Opposition TDs have criticised the decrease in the number of women at Cabinet from four to three, pointing out there are now as many men named James sitting at Cabinet as there are women.
The Taoiseach will address his new ministers, setting the tone for what is required of them as the work of the new government begins.
