Northern Ireland Secretary Karen Bradley and Tánaiste Simon Coveney are expected to meet the main Stormont parties tomorrow to discuss the absence of a power-sharing administration.
The discussions will take place at Stormont tomorrow afternoon.
The devolved government, led by the DUP and Sinn Féin, collapsed in January 2017 and an effort to restore it failed 12 months ago.
Many significant policy initiatives remain on hold while civil servants run Northern Ireland on a day-to-day basis.
It is thought unlikely that power-sharing could be revived and sustained while the Brexit issue remains unresolved.
