The saga continues.
For the third time in succession, the Dáil have failed to elect a Taoiseach, with both Enda Kenny and Michéal Martin having had their nominations rejected.
While 14 Independent TDs abstained from voting, Enda Kenny received 77 votes against his nomination, with just 52 voting for it. Meanwhile, Michéal Martin’s nomination for the top seat at Leinster House was defeated by 91 to 43 votes.
Here is the fallout from the latest government news.
The frustration in Fianna Fáil is palpable. Did they really think FG would just stand aside & hand over government to them? #ge16 #dail

Third time's rejection is the charm right? And by charm I mean we're having another election right? #Dail

Can we please use "Three strikes and you're out" now? It seems obvious to all but the stumbling block where the stumbling block is. #dail
